IMPROVE YOUR RIDING WITH THESE 3 TIPS | Dressage Training 

Hi from NZ guys new subscriber here. Just want to say i absolutely love your instructions in this video. I had many many lessons with my stirrups taken away, its so important to be able to ride with a deep seat. I really really love your posture, your hand carriage is just gorgeous. My instructor use to make us ride no stirrups and balance a whip on our hands to keep our hands high and forward. Great video, i take everything as a ground lesson. Nice work to you both 😊🐎 ❤

Thank you - great video - simple effective exercises, clearly explained and demonstrated beautifully by a "normal" (ie., not Grand Prix) rider on a "normal" (ie., not Grand Prix) horse. It's relatable, practical and also lovely to listen to and watch. Would love to see more of this kind of video - instructionals and training sessions... I'm not so keen on the "lifestyle/chitchat/whinging about competition judges" stuff... RU-vid and Insta are already full of those Good quality practical videos on things that can enrich my time with my horse are a real gift.

Very helpful video, thanks. I haven't thought of a methodical separation of seat/hands/legs to become more effective before, and I will definitely try it. The giving & taking of the reins to encourage, and demonstrate self carriage was interesting in view of the growing concern with ethical practices in dressage, so good to see how it is done ❤. Thanks.

Great video. Agree with no loud music, and love you are both mic’d. Well ridden Indie

I love the training videos. I’ve just found your channel and it’s exactly what I’m wanting to see. I like to hear what trainer says to the rider so it’s clear what’s being asked and so as a rider I can take knowledge from it too so thanks for the videos.

Loved this type of video - incredibly informative, and nice to see the explanation and then it being put into action. Thank you both ☺️

Another fab video, I’ll defo be trying the exercises 😊. Thank you for taking time out to make these informative vids x

Great video! Really enjoyed your training videos. Look forward to seeing the National Vlog 🙂 Good Luck! X

Wish I'v seen this video when I was 10..... this makes so much sense! ❤❤ Thanks!

Really intresting video and great tips for me to try. Looking forward to watching you both at the Nationals next week 😊 Good Luck!

This is awesome, was doing a little dressage but my instructor is a bit busy to train me so I been normal riding but trying to keep what I have been taught until I find somewhere to train.

Thanks both - another helpful video 👏. I took the stirrups away today 😅 Only managed two circuits at a time but, despite bouncing around like a space hopper, the contact was noticeably better and Frankie was much more forward … actually too forward as I was hoping for more of a jog! Lots to build on 🤩

Great explanations 😊. Thank you 🦄

Love this. Thank you!

Lovely horse and rider. Thank you for sharing! Have one question: when you check the self carriage, I thought the rein should show a loop or 2 reins show a loop. It looks like the rider hold the contact while just lifting the reins. But maybe I am wrong! Thank you!!

Great video and very relatable, I have a chestnut mare who likes to be behind the leg I might try no stirrups 🤯

Did 20 mins of canter in a raised seat today, now feel the burn in my thighs 🤣. Much happier without stirrups

Looking good 👌 What radio mic are you using ? Recommend?

I have been doing trot no stirrups I'm not too bad with it.

Why is Indie's head pulled so far down and back? Surely that's too far to be either comfortable or effective for the horse.

Is it possible for you to make these videos without the annoying music? It's extremely distracting and because I am severely Autistic and the music is very overstimulating, it actually makes me sick and I can't watch the video. The music is totally unnecessary and does nothing to improve the video. Thank you if you can remove it.
