Elbows are the point of connection between the riders seat and horses mouth. Your upper arms belong to you, your forearm, wrist and hand belongs to the horse. A soft yet firm elbow helps to create a harmonious connection.

🐴 The Function of the Rider’s Elbow Joints

A rider's elbow joint is one of the most important joints in their body... especially so for those of us who ride Dressage! As the elbow is essentially the rider's shock absorber - allowing horse and rider to maintain a harmonious connection while in motion.

Click on the link below to learn about a very common mistake riders make with their elbows, that causes all sorts of unwanted resistance from their horses! 👇👇👇

🐴DRESSAGE SOLUTIONS🐴 Make Your Circles Rounder!

To make your circles rounder ...

Imagine you're riding your horse between two rows of fence posts. Feel how the outside posts keep you turning and the inside posts support you and allow the energy to flow through.

"Lessons are called riding lessons, not horsing lessons. Their primary purpose is to develop a rider. Once there is a good rider, he can become a trainer of horses, yet often riders are asked to train before they have the skills to do it."
– Charles de Kunffy

I always use this quote in my teachings! CdK is the master and I’m so grateful to have him in my life 🩵
