Dressage lessons for the Hunter jumper rider!

I really enjoy teaching riders from other disciplines and quite often help riders who compete over fences fine tune their flat work skills. As a young rider and into my thirties I competed in Eventing and Show jumping and can really appreciate the benefit that good flat work can be to these disciplines.
The very fit jumpers are not quite so fit when asked to bend correctly and stretch over the top-line and their riders are amazed at how much work Dressage really is! They really enjoy the new challenge and it pays off in the medals classes and the flat classes, whens they can really ask their horses for more precise transitions which gives them an edge on their competitors!
