Elegantly illustrated with beautiful photographs The Simplicity of Dressage offers riders and trainers at every level a clearly stated method of attaining higher test scores and more advanced movements, whilst at the same time, showing great concern for the welfare and happiness of the horse. The six inseperable basics of classical dressage are: rhythm, suppleness, contact, impulsion, straightness and collection. Understood individually and pursued consecutively, these six straightforward simple concepts intertwine as training progresses, which if successfully achieved, results in a high-school dressage horse. As the authors make clear, a rider who maintains the structure of the training system, and understands that one basic alone is weak without the others, can advance regardless of natural ability. The authors have organised this book so as to provide clear instruction for logical progression, while managing to address common problems that trouble riders of varying ability.
This book also offers substantial background information and breeding statistics about successful dressage horses.
