Welcome to Dressage Training TV!
Changing the world for horses and their humans, one partnership at a time.
A Not-for-Profit Organisation Dedicated to Effective, Ethical Equestrian Education — for the good of the horse.
At Dressage Training TV, we believe that great riding starts with understanding, respect, and ethical training. .
As a not-for-profit organization, our mission is to provide high-quality educational resources that help riders and horses reach their full potential—while always prioritizing the horse’s well-being, comfort, and long-term soundness.
With expert guidance from renowned trainers—including Mary Wanless BHSI, BSc, Senior Ride With Your Mind coach Ali Wakelin, and accredited Ride With Your Mind coaches—you’ll gain access to ethical, horse-friendly riding and training approaches that transform both horse and rider.
The Magic of Rider Biomechanics
It’s hard to describe the magic that happens when a rider finds their true balance point. The noise in their seat—the small, unintentional movements that create static between horse and rider—disappears. In its place, a nuanced, almost invisible communication emerges, where the rider becomes truly one with their horse and the horse can express his inner beauty.
This is the essence of rider biomechanics—learning to use your body in a way that allows effortless, harmonious movement with your horse. By understanding how your posture, balance, and movement influence your horse, you can:
- Develop a more stable, independent seat
- Use subtle, refined aids for clearer communication
- Improve your horse’s balance, engagement, and responsiveness
- Create a deep, intuitive connection that enhances performance and enjoyment
- Become easier for your horse to carry and promote his comfort
At Dressage Training TV, we focus on the Ride With Your Mind™ approach to help riders experience this transformation for themselves.
Imagine what it would be like to have a truly aligned and harmonious partnership with your horse.

Overcoming common challenges
We know how frustrating it can be when things just aren’t clicking. Maybe your horse feels heavy in the hand, rushes, or won’t engage. Maybe you struggle with balance, tension, or inconsistent aids. Or perhaps you just feel stuck—like you’re trying your best, but something’s missing.
- Transform your seat and posture to create a robust, stable connection
- Develop clearer, more effective aids that reduce confusion for your horse
- Improve straightness and balance, helping your horse move with ease and confidence
- Create a deep, intuitive connection that enhances performance and enjoyment
- Reduce resistance and tension, making riding more healthy and enjoyable for both of you
With guidance from our expert coaches, you’ll learn how small changes in your body can create big improvements in your horse. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced competitor, we’re here to help you work through your challenges and achieve a new level of harmony in your riding.
