ClassicalDressage.com Dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Art of Classical Dressage The ClassicalDressage discussion group is well worth taking a look at.  Even if you never post you will pick up some very valuable information that will  make a difference to your riding.  It’s not just another  dressage list, it is a Classical Dressage list with many genuine  classical trainers. They don’t always agree, but flaming of any  sort is not tolerated, nor are one-liners... Take a look. An international forum for the discussion of topics related  to the training, history, and preservation of the art of Classical  Dressage. Philosophical as well as technical discussion welcome and  encouraged. We have members from all over the world, including (but not limited to) the United States, the UK, Germany, France, Austria, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Japan, and more. Join the CD  list There is a sister list in the UK called Discovering  Classical Dressage .  It is slightly less formal and very friendly towards new posters. It is for riders at any level, as its aim is to inform, help and provide a forum for genuine discussion about Classical Dressage, no matter what school of thought. It is a friendly and polite group that has a thirst for knowledge and the horse’s best interests at  heart. Join the DCD list Simon  Battram - the owner and moderator of the DCD list -  has an excellent article on the Art of Lungeing and also one on Working a Horse In Hand at his website.

Sue says that she doesn't know anywhere else that offers this depth and  breadth of expertise (which is why she set it up in the  first place!) Arrow  Training Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success. Copyright  © Sue Morris 1998-2005
