Storyteller Dressage

Nuno Oliveira:
"I know two types of riders. The first ones, although sometimes being skillful people, work their horses mechanically and use them as tools. Fortunately, there’s another category, and to be honest, less numerous: those who love their horses and are able to safeguard, in the most complete looseness, their natural expressiveness. The first group of riders are not necessarily less skillful than the second ones and are able to take the lead in some competition categories. The second group of riders, cursed poets of this Art, sometimes appear even ridiculous in the eyes of those who do not perceive the subtlety of their ideas. **However, these are the last riders who will enjoy the real joy of feeling under them a horse that moves with pleasure, without contractions, not as a slave but as a friend.” 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

"Addestrare un cavallo significa SENTIRE e dopo avere sentito, sforzarsi di aiutarlo senza forzarlo…" (Nuno Oliveira)

Nuno Oliveira;
"Conosco due tipi di cavalieri. I primi, pur essendo a volte persone abili, lavorano i loro cavalli in modo meccanico e li utilizzano come fossero degli strumenti. C'è per fortuna un'altra categoria, per la verità meno numerosa, ed è quella di coloro che amano i loro cavalli e sono capaci di salvaguardare, nella più completa scioltezza, la loro naturale espressività. I primi non sono necessariamente meno abili dei secondi e sono capaci di primeggiare in alcune categorie di competizioni. I secondi, poeti maledetti di quest'Arte, appaiono qualche volta perfino ridicoli agli occhi di coloro che non percepiscono la sottigliezza delle loro idee. Sono tuttavia questi ultimi i cavalieri che gusteranno la vera gioia di sentire sotto di sè un cavallo che si muove con piacere, senza contrazioni, non come uno schiavo ma come un amico."

This 15'2 hds, gorgeous young man is so much fun to work with. He is currently working on training level dressage, has done some jumping and knows to go on trails.

Saw this and had to share. Geometry and accuracy are so important! Don't lose points because you don't know where a circle should be - or that it should be round!
