Understanding and Using The Dressage Scales of Training: For Every Horse, at Every Level, During Every Dressage Movement. Including Exercises.

The dressage scales of training apply to every horse, at every level, during every movement and exercise. Many riders brush over the training scales without taking the time to understand them fully, and although the scales may not be as attention-grabbing as other dressage topics, they are the most crucial when it comes to your success. Within this book, we take you through each scale in-depth, detailing what it is, how to achieve it, and how all the scales work together to create a logical and systematic framework for training the equine athlete. We have also included a range of practical exercises for you to ride at home and show you how to use the scales for warming-up and troubleshooting. Focusing on these fundamentals throughout all of your training will give you the best hope of creating a willing and happy partnership with a horse that will stay healthy and sound over a long-ridden career, ultimately leading to greater achievements.
