De-complicating Dressage

This months guest is Charlie Hutton, who grew up at Talland School of Equitation, surrounded by horses and dressage. You may recognise him from multiple different TV Shows on Horse & Country TV. Now he is a successful international Grand Prix rider with 8 international wins and 6 national titles. He is also Dressage Mentor for the World Class Podium Potential Pathway where his role is to nurture and develop athletes from Junior riders to U25 Grand Prix. He is also an incredibly successful coach around the world.

In this episode, we cover LOTS! From the type of horse he likes, how he uses science to guide how he cares for his horses, how to work out the fact from the fiction when researching, asking your horse small questions to improve your training, the benefits of bareback riding to help you feel the horse and how they're moving and how mentoring should be something every rider can benefit from.

We're here for season 2!

I am so excited that we are joined for our first episode by Sara Jane Lanning! International Dressage Rider, List 1 Judge and coach! Sara tells us exactly what the judge is looking for and answers the big question of whether judges judge different horses differently; where she sees most riders make mistakes in their tests and what we can do as riders to boost our marks and improve our scores.

Enjoy!

In this episode we chat about the biggest mistake i see most riders (including myself!) make that leads to the biggest loss of marks in a test. Its something that is so easily fixed and, with a bit of practice becomes second nature and is going to give you so much time more time to prepare and set up your movements in your test as well as helping you keep your horse balanced, supple and engaged.
