A collection of short, easy-to-read articles to help make the complexities of dressage easier to understand. How To Dressage has worked with a team of British Dressage judges and Grand Prix riders to outline the principles of dressage, illustrate correct training, and break down dressage movements. Learn how to:- Ride dressage movements- Avoid costly mistakes- Fix common problems- Improve your riding- Increase your scores- Move up the levelsOne size does not fit allWhen it comes to dressage, or any equestrian sport for that matter, there is no such thing as one size fits all.We all know that every horse is an individual; some can be described as ‘hot horses’ whereas others have a far more laid-back attitude. For those reasons, not every horse can be ridden in the same ‘text-book’ way.To make matters even more complex, there are very few riders who have the luxury of riding and training a horse from a completely blank canvas. Usually, we are having to battle against unwanted learned behaviors and bad habits that have resulted from previous poor training.That is why, within this book, we aim to not only outline the principles of dressage, illustrate correct training and break down basic dressage movements, but also help you to avoid costly mistakes and fix common problems that are frequently seen in the dressage arena. In a nutshell, we want to answer the questions that other dressage books do not.Build your own adventureDepending on the current training level of you and your horse, along with each of your individual strengths and weaknesses, how you use this book will be unique to you.Think of it as a ‘build your own adventure’ and move through the contents linking together the articles that are the most useful to your current situation.Nothing in dressage in a quick fix – horses and riders do not get to Grand Prix overnight – so you’ll most likely find that articles which are not relevant to you today, may come in handy in the future as you and your horse improve and move through the levels.Where to startThis book was not designed to be read from cover to cover (although you can do that if you prefer).As you glance your eyes over the contents of this book, you’ll notice that some articles will be more relevant to you than others, depending on where you and your horse are at in your dressage education.However, before you do anything else, we recommend that you read the whole of Section One: Dressage Theory (starting on page 5) as these articles will give you the foundations that will underpin all of your dressage training.Once you have read an article, you can tick it off in the contents to help keep track of your progress.Where did this book come from?In February 2018, we created a new dressage website.The idea was simple; we wanted to create short, easy-to-read articles to help make the complexities of dressage easier to understand.With most of the article titles beginning with the phrase ‘How To’, it seemed only fitting to call the website HowToDressageShortly after launching, we were given the opportunity of publishing our best articles into a book. Needless to say, we took it.We hope that this is going to be the first of many in the How To Dressage Book Series.Example articles that are in the book- How to keep a consistent rein contact- How to ride sitting trot- How to ride a give and retake of the reins- How to ride a walk pirouette- How to ride a half-halt- How to stop your horse coming behind the vertical- How to encourage your horse to be more forward, but not faster- What is the difference between bend and flexion
