From Novice Horse to the Schooled Horse - Part 2

After two years of basic training, the dressage horse is created through systematic schooling, step by step. The improvement of the half halt, distinct transition within the paces, lateral movements and flying changes up to the St. Georg are the key element. Klaus Balkenhol: "The art of riding lies in achieving a great effect with very sensitive signals. This is known as sensitizing a horse. That means the horse concentrates on the rider, on the rider's aids."
