Dressage Training Customized

Individualize your horse's training - and get results.

In this book, you'll find out how to read your horse's:

• Character: Is he quiet or spooky? Hyper or placid? Lazy or an overachiever? Sensitive or resistant?
• Conformation: Is he short-coupled or long-backed? Is his neck set high or low? Is it shaped correctly? Is he tall or short? Slab-sided or wide?
• Gender: Does he have a gelding's placid disposition? Is she a mare with hormonal mood swings? Is he a stallion with an attitude?
• Breed: Does your horse's particular breed impact his ability to perform dressage movements? Is his build or temperament more suitable for another discipline or use?

With your horse's type in mind, you can then alter the dressage Training Scale accordingly - its six elements can be applied in differing measures as best suits your horse. This is the "key" to your training success.
