Some dressage freestyle inspiration for Music Monday!

"Why love the renvers? It’s a tricky movement to ride well in and of itself: tricky to enter, tricky to exit and tricky to not end up wandering off the rail. It...’s also deliciously tricky to transition into and out of the renvers from the shoulder-in. When you feel like you can go back and forth between these two movements at the trot, you’ll know your horse is really honest in his uphill and upright balance."

Love this quote from Carl and great interview

It’s our job to train the kids. We cannot wait for them to have better horses; we have to train them to ride what they have. If we do so, we train them to become horse trainers.

Interesting ideas about changing the dressage system to encourage more participation. I think it is similar to the barrel racing system where there is basically... different levels of competition within the same class. I think this type of system would help with juniors and new comers to not become frustrated and disillusioned. I can't personally agree with the relaxed dress code though:) Thoughts? See more
