Classical Dressage Training with J. Alex Wortmann

Learn to ride according to Germany's "Pyramid of Training " (Skala der Ausbildung). Classical riding instruction places emphasis on the rider's seat and aids in order to achieve rhythm, suppleness, contact, impulsion, straightness and collection - the ultimate goal being throughness.

Evening theory sessions are a wonderful way for the riders to review any problems that they are having with their horses. Videos, hand-outs and practice sessions to learn about a wide variety of topics ranging from correct lunging techniques to developing the piaffe, offer the riders an in-depth review of their lessons and classical training methods.

At the end of the workshop, a training schedule is discussed with each rider which is specifically designed for their horse. The training schedule recommends warm-up, working and cool down exercises for daily training.

Dressage clinics are available throughout Europe, North America and the Far East for a minimum of 3 days.
