Upgrade your security

Nicola Young, 26 May 2011 15:27

Insurance policies will often specify what security measures are required. If you fail to meet your obligations as set out in your policy, your insurers could refuse to give you a penny in the event of a burglary. Read the small print carefully and make sure your security measures meet the minimum standards. “Sometimes a little investment can be well ...

The Medium Horse

Nicola Young, 12 December 2010 22:26

Until you get to Medium level, dressage is all about correct schooling and putting the foundations in place. Once at Medium level, you start to ride ‘proper’ dressage movements such as half-pass, simple changes and pirouettes. At this point the judges become much tougher too – they’ll expect accuracy and perfection (a square halt every time, for instance). A Medium ...

The Elementary Horse

Nicola Young, 12 December 2010 22:16

At Elementary level, the horse needs to show more self carriage and by now his balance should be just about there. His lateral work at home should be secure, as you’re required to do leg-yield in Elementary level, so his suppleness will need to be good. Collected work is also included so your horse must be confident to lengthen and ...

The Novice Horse

Nicola Young, 12 December 2010 22:07

You know you’re ready to move from Prelim to Novice when you’re able to score well in the harder Prelim tests as these are similar in their challenges to the lower level Novice tests. Your horse needs to be smarter off the aids, stepping under more and, for the higher marks, he should have better balance and be able to ...

The Preliminary Horse

A Prelim horse is one that’s right at the beginning of his dressage career – maybe a youngster or an older horse new to the discipline. Within this level, the horse can be at different stages. If he’s only just started out it’s probably he’s not yet working in a true outline and he won’t have mastered self-carriage. As he ...

Warm Up

Nicola Young, 12 December 2010 21:55

The warm up is one of the most important parts of a dressage competition because, if your horseisn’t warmed up correctly, he’s got no chance of pulling off a good test. Remember: - Let your horse walk on a long, loose rein to start with (if safe). This will help him relax. - If he’s tense and unsettled, it’s often better to ...
