I USED TO HATE DRESSAGE!
Yep, you read that right!! When I was younger, I did all spheres, my family bred horses, and we just did what they enjoyed!
However, when I started doing a bit more, I soon realised that dressage would help everything else I was doing!
👉It would help keep the poles up in show jumping
👉It would let me make better turns for my cross-country
👉It would allow me to be more consistent and therefore faster in my endurance races
What I didn't realise is that it was actually what I would end up doing!! 🤣
It took a little while to get fully on board, but as my young horses started to come through, it became addictive!
Not for the results listed above, but for the constant quest to build a better partnership and communication with my horse. I was hooked, I wanted to see what I could learn to help my horses, how I could become a better rider for them, and understand how they work better, both mentally and physically.
This very much is now my ethos throughout my coaching, all the results are great, but developing a partnership with your horse is what stands you in good stead, whatever you are doing!
My dislike of dressage was nothing other than not knowing, as soon as I learnt more, I couldn't stop!
So this is your reminder, if you're not sure where to start, or even if it's for you or relevant to what you are doing, you don't know where you could be this time next year!!
This is why I developed lots of ways to intake information in the Trainee membership, so that no matter the time of day, or where you are, as long as you have signal, you are only a click away from developing your partnership with your horse!
