Dressage Training TV provides instructional videos, articles and live webinars. We cover subjects such as groundwork, rider biomechanics, competing, test riding, equine & human bodywork and rider fitness.

Uniquely our coaches have been trained by Mary Wanless and work towards a common goal, using a common language which avoids confusion and eliminates conflicting instructions.

Each month you will receive anywhere from 2-5 live or recorded lectures from the various courses. During the live broadcasts you can ask questions of the coaches and riders and be part of the experience. During the webinar the lecture is recorded in 4k resolution, sometimes from multiple camera angles. The footage is then edited and uploaded for you to watch at any time, as many times as you like during your membership.
