Leading dressage rider Andrew Gould came to the attention of the general public last year thanks to his famous pupil Katie Price.
But Andrew is a fantastic dressage rider and trainer in his own right, having much success with his respected Priory Dressage yard. We were delighted to welcome Andrew to Your Horse Live last year, where he gave some very informative and enlightening demos to a packed audience.
Andrew brought two seven-year-olds to the event, both with very different temperaments. First he worked his own youngster, a very nervous forward-thinking horse he is hoping to compete at Prix St Georges.
These videos were filmed at Your Horse Live 2009 - to view more demonstrations click here...
