DRESSAGE TRAINING
We can help.
Do you feel stuck in a rut or that your horse is no longer progressing, or your dressage scores have plateaued? By helping you to encourage your horse to work happily and harmoniously we can improve the quality of your riding.
Training here will begin with a detailed assessment on the lunge to see how the horse moves and responds naturally. The horse will then be assessed under saddle. Georges will go on to mutually agree a programme of work with you the rider, which he believes to be compatible with the horse’s needs.
The aim at Carreg Dressage is to teach all horses to move correctly over the back in order to carry the rider with grace and with ease throughout all the desired movements.
“A horse working correctly over the back and supporting its own balance will improve its score by between 5 and 8%”
This is a fundamental precept of our work.
We believe that the quality of contact with the horse’s mouth is a trademark stamp of the training at Carreg Dressage. This is achieved by teaching the horse to take charge of its own balance, you will never find gadgets of any kind in our tack room.
This approach to training results in happy athletic horses who are able to continue competing and performing well into their twenties.
