In order to train horses already started
sometimes new language between horse and rider
has to be established to ride horses in
classical style. To many horses are
communicated with to harshly, abruptly, or not
treated kindly. Treating a horse in this
fashion cannot bring oneness between horse and
rider.
Horse and rider should exhibit pleasure when
being shown.
Training a horse with
out re-educating the rider would be a hopeless
endeavor since kindness and good equestrian
tact to gain oneness has to be instilled in
the rider as well.
Since the year 2000,
great efforts internationally had been made to
prevent cruelty especially with devices and
helping reins sometimes leaving damaging
results in the horse's muscle system.
The expression to train a horse for show
riding being different than pure classical
riding has to disappear from the vocabulary of
the average dressage rider.
In the world competition now days we see
excellent performances in classical riding.
If classical riding as a training method is
not established from the start how can horse
and rider wind up at the top doing classical
riding?
