Love this duo!

[@DARKhorses73]

This trainer is by far one of the best.

Great lesson… and the riders looking better and better, love her focus and determination!

This training is amazing to watch.

Oh my gosh this is so interesting! I’ve learned a ton!

[@pataugusztiny1062]

Thank you! I recognize the twist in my own body but was not aware of it until I watched this rider. I would go practice now if I were not in the freezing Northwest!

Great lesson explaining biomechanics. 👏🏻 I think the girth is a little too short though.

Another great lesson video I am trying figure out how to do a inside & outside half halt... again I love seeing this rider she gives me such encouragement to try what I learned during my next lesson!!!!

[@sarahconnor4984]

Would you mind telling me what is the diference between these two kinds of half halt?

Just recently discovered this channel. The content is absolute gold! Horse and riders from different levels and disciplines - awesome! Do you by any chance do online consultations?

[@paradigmdressage]

Hi Kristina, yes, we can do virtual lessons will also be putting a program together where you can submit a video for commentary/advice

Great lesson!! Thank you very much for sharing it with us willing to learn :) I do have small questions though: for the sake of the horse back, why does sitting trot is so long? why not only few steps and increasing them? Why not holding one hands on the saddle and once the bumps are much less and hands becoming independent, then moving to the second step? I am having troubles as well w sitting trot and i can do well only few steps yet. But, your videos are really interesting and again thank you so so much!!

So this also works outside the arena - went for a trail ride after 2 weeks no riding due to weather - realized i was sitting on a lot of energy, then started a "this is my walk" mantra in rhythm of walk; kept awareness of bear down to not get left behind, and my horse settled down and we had a great ride!

[@paradigmdressage]

That is great to hear!

[@mariagolebiowski]

do you have a lesson on the actual canter aid, body position how to ask, leg yield aids, how to turn the horse exact aids

[@nicolesawyer-jm6ir]

I agree with dark below !

[@xoxohomes]

Trying to best understand the “bear down” comments more fully…I know it may be obvious to everyone else but I’m not quite gettin’ it!!

Heals to high

Dressage: Just sit there. All horsemanship boils down to one thing: SIT DOWN. LET GRAVITY DO THE WORK.
