    Great video, maybe could specify aides you use to differentiate collected and medium. There’s usually talk of ‘go’ for the medium but not how to get the lengthen without running. When and where to half halt would be helpful,

    I love how you explain things. I have a fancy Warmblood. (Since 8mos). Now he’s 19 PSG. Most difficult boy. My Arab/Quarter is 22. Ive known him since he was 2. Now 22. He is tight like this mare and I love this exercise. I love how you show everyday horses AND their problems. We can all post perfect videos and photos but you demo how it is BEHIND the scenes. Not just the purdy!!!

  • @jwolf2141

    Love your videos - the commentaries are really practical and helpful, and love seeing things on "normal" horses with issues rather than advanced horses all the time. It's really helpful to see how things start, that they don't look perfect at the beginning and the progression even just in a single session. I know the social media content mill is incredibly demanding but there's a huge gap in the market for good quality dressage instructionals right now - hope you jump in to it! Look forward to more!

    I really like your way of explaining. I tend to get really tense and your explanations are quite calming and covers a lot of info regarding evasions, quickness or curling. I’m trying each exercise you show.

    Absolutely love this coach!! Discovered her on fb a few days ago. I’d love to see some tutorials for the lower level rider. Maybe transitions, leg yields. Anything on rhythm, suppleness and contact would be great. There’s so many more riders that these videos can help, the problem with doing videos that cater more to advanced riders is most of us can’t relate to that yet and the ones who can more than likely aren’t watching tutorials. There’s thousands of riders who could benefit from videos focusing on those 3 levels of the training scale. Her way of teaching absolutely resonates with me and I can’t wait to see more!!!💫

      I can! But it will be a while before I can get to a large arena to do it. If you need it soon, it rides similar to the circle at B: the circle will reach 2m shy of X and 2m shy of D. Hope that helps!

    Love the clover leaf video. Do you teach any lessons and if so can share those here for us to learn from? I think it’s so important to further your education as an instructor and learn from others with great methods and techniques/exercises. I love watching and learning from other instructors and clinicians do I can improve my teacugor lessons. Thanks
