Angela Ridgway Dressage:Creating independent, thinking riders. |
Philosophy:
For the horse: I focus on throughness of the back,
elasticity of the joints, and purity of the gaits.
Gradually increased engagement -- through transitions
within and between the gaits and in the lateral
movements -- build flexibility and strength. The
process brings the horse to collection.
I believe in a quiet, subtle approach to training. For the rider: I emphasize a functional and influential position based on balance and independence of the aids. Riding the horse with the seat and leg aids into elastic arms and hands brings the horse "to the bridle" in self-carriage. |
