Improving Equine Skills: The Importance and Advantages of Flatwork Training in Equestrianism
In the world of equestrianism, the importance of flatwork and dressage is universally recognised by riders, regardless of their preferred discipline. This month, Equestrian Masterclass is placing a strong focus on these fundamental foundations.
The journey of a rider often begins with stumbling blocks, and our subject is no exception. A mispronunciation of the word "dressage" during the first conversation might have seemed like a setback, but it was the catalyst for a new learning path. The individual in question decided to delve deeper into the craft called "dressage" as an alternative.
While the individual was expressly forbidden from jumping on horseback during the initial stages, the fundamental elements of flatwork and dressage applied to all riders. This realisation led to a dedication of formative years solely to dressage, for which the rider expresses gratitude.
Observing riders like Josh Nichol, Tik Maynard, Boyd Martin, Allison Springer, and Peter Wylde incorporating flatwork into their horse training was instrumental in the rider's growth. It became clear that flatwork and dressage were not just for those specialising in these disciplines, but a tool that could be used by all riders to improve their connection with their horse and influence the way of going.
Equestrian Masterclass, a platform offering expert insights from renowned equestrians, has a plethora of resources to help riders on their journey. Peter Wylde, an Olympic Show Jumping Gold Medalist and US Eventing Team coach, has a Masterclass on Quiet Riding and is set to release a new program focusing on flatwork for jumping.
Mette Larsen, another expert on Equestrian Masterclass, offers a Masterclass titled "Dressage for All Disciplines". Allison Springer has helped Equestrian Masterclass with a new Guided Ride Mini-Pack on flatwork tools, and her program just launched yesterday.
Chelsea Canedy's Guided Ride, titled "Following Workout for Supple Seat and Hand", and Amy Skinner's Guided Ride, titled "Developing Leg Yield and Responsiveness in Walk and Trot", are also valuable resources for those looking to improve their flatwork skills.
Karl Cook, with his Masterclass titled "Creating an Adjustable and Rideable Horse", and Andrew Welles, with his Guided Ride titled "Go-To, Effective Flatwork for Rideability", are additional experts contributing to the wealth of knowledge available on Equestrian Masterclass.
Noëlle Floyd and Equestrian Masterclass are working together to ensure that flatwork remains a focus, providing riders with the tools they need to excel in their chosen discipline. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, Equestrian Masterclass offers a wealth of resources to help you improve your flatwork and dressage skills.
