Manolo’s Message
Manolo Mendez, Professor of Classical Dressage, Head Rider from the Royal Spanish School in Jerez (home of the 2002 World Equestrian Games discusses, in a series of articles, training the horse … from the very first kindergarten days all the way to Grand Prix
In training for dressage, one of the most damaging things we can do to a horse - especially a young horse - is demand an “outline”. A beautiful outline is something that will, if the training is correct, develop naturally over a period of years. To insist on it before the horse is ready can and does lead to premature breakdown in body, mind – and spirit.
