In order to
train horses already started sometimes new language between horse and
rider has to be established to ride horses in classical style. To
many horses are communicated with to harshly, abruptly, or not treated
kindly. Treating a horse in this fashion cannot bring oneness
between horse and rider.
Horse and rider should exhibit pleasure when being shown.
Training a horse with out re-educating the rider
would be a hopeless endeavor since kindness and good equestrian tact to
gain oneness has to be instilled in the rider as well.
Since the year 2000, great efforts
internationally had been made to prevent cruelty especially with devices
and helping reins sometimes leaving damaging results in the horse's
muscle system. The expression to train a horse for show riding
being different than pure classical riding has to disappear from the
vocabulary of the average dressage rider.
In the world competition now days we see excellent performances in
classical riding.
If classical riding as a training method is not
established from the start how can horse and rider wind up at the top
doing classical riding?
