Dressage training for horse and rider.

15/05/2025

We must keep remembering that dressage was made to keep horses healthy, strong, confident, and proud.

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 = Sound with PURE gaits.

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 = Clearly seated in the haunches and coiling the springs of the hind end joints, into a rounded full top line.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 = Able to go wherever the rider wishes and stand quietly until further notice.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 = Mouth quiet, ears and eyes soft but alert, neck arched without tension, and all the energies going towards working with the rider, taking them proudly through space in whatever powerful gait required.

A sound horse is a strong horse who is confident and proud to work WITH you. Dressage is a partnership with your horse, not an assignment to accomplish at any cost.

We are pleased to welcome Conrad Schumacher back to Aiken, October 12th-15th. Rides are available, auditor spots are also available. Clinic will be in Aiken at Rockwood Farm with beautiful footing and covered arena.

We will also have a happy hour with a lecture by Mr. Schumacher and rider dinner. Dates to be determined.

These clinics contain a wealth of information and auditors are encouraged to participate in discussions and ask questions. We will have a nice mix of amateur and professional riders with young horses to FEI.

Conrad Schumacher is one of the world's foremost dressage trainers, having trained many students to international Olympic and World Championship level. He has been an influential force in the successful teams from Germany, Holland, Great Britain and the USA. With his many years of experience, first as a rider then as a coach, trainer and judge, he is a true riding master.

Rides are $330 each and auditing is $30/ day. Please PM me to reserve your spot.

Perhaps we need to normalize a rider excusing themselves from a competition if the test is not going well? If a horse has become so tense that he becomes irregular in his movement, or shortens his neck to an uncomfortable degree, we riders should be allowed/encouraged to retire early. Simone Biles retired mid competition for her mental and physical health and came back to gold medal form, horses should be afforded the same opportunity.

Conrad Schumacher Schedule is up! We still have a few spaces for auditors on Sun and Mon, Sat is sold out. Given the rain today we are so happy to have Lily Barlow hosting with a lovely covered arena! If you would like to audit Sun or Mon please message me to reserve a space. You must preregister. Looking forward to a few days of great rides in Aiken!
