A rider doesn’t have to have incredible riding skills to make progress in training their horse. There are many ways in which you can use our training to help you to success. Learning our groundwork system, with Ali Wakelin, will make a big difference to how responsive your horse is to the aids. Once you have really honed your groundwork then your horse really understands your leg and hand signals. This makes lateral work, which helps improve the horse’s balance, much easier to train.

To improve your riding skills we have Rider Biomechanics expert Mary Wanless BSc, BHSI to take you from the basics to more advanced topics such as lateral work. You can submit your videos to our forums for assessment, follow different riders as they have repeat lessons, and join Mary live on her webinars. 

You can also get tips from Master Dressage author, Peter Dove, on how to improve test riding results. The six hour series, Improve Your Dressage Scores, takes you through some of the important aspects of test riding.
