In classical dressage, the rider's position is crucial for achieving balance, communication, and harmony with the horse. Proper alignment, posture, and balance allow the rider to give subtle and effective aids while staying centered and stable, which in turn helps the horse move with suppleness and precision. Toi's teaching methods allow the horse and rider to develop true harmony, to refine and develop a solid riding style.
Regular practice, self-awareness, and feedback from a trainer will help you refine your position over time. Mastering your position allows the horse to move more freely and express its full potential in dressage movements. Toi loves to work with riders one-on-one in their own home environment or she can teach online using a Pivo system.
Mastering classical dressage movements requires patience, precise communication, and a strong partnership with your horse. Developing these movements progressively, with an emphasis on the dressage training scale, will result in harmony, balance, and elegance that define classical dressage at its finest.
