Conrad Schumacher's Dressage System: Prepare to Win, Basic Level Book

For the dressage novice as well as the Prix St. Georges competitor, this guide offers a unique approach to training rider confidence in combination with basic dressage principles. Based on Conrad Schumacherâ??s acclaimed clinics by the same name, the program begins with his “Prerequisites for Winningâ? in which the master coach illustrates the training and riding essentials—such as the horseâ??s correct neck position—that he insists must be in place before you can be assured success in the competitive arena. The DVD goes on to provide a number of Schumacherâ??s “Working Patternsâ?—intricate and challenging exercises intended to be repeated many times in succession without the rider stopping to analyze or worry about what went wrong and why. When these techniques are incorporated in a riderâ??s long-term, mid-term, and short-term show preparation, the rider will find herself eagerly awaiting the ring of the bell, confident, focused, relaxed, and ready to win.Read More
