Dressage with Amelia

Last night we had a super discussion about building topline, Germán had some really interesting points to make and we had some great questions from the audience about the relationship between suppleness and topline.

We also have a super fun segment that you need to listen in for! In Strides my students made a thread discussing their favorite Germán phrases, so we had a great chat with him explaining them!

Well it has been a week! It's kind of ironic that we had a groundwork webinar on Sunday and had planned to talk about groundwork today, because this week a fire broke out right behind our barn and we had to quickly load the horses and get them out.

It's so important that you do your groundwork and your horse loads on a good day, because trailer loading is just ground manners on a more refined level.

It just goes to show how important groundwork is and that your horse is able to load quickly when literally every second counts!

In last night's episode we celebrated not only our winners of the challenge, but all of the students who participated and worked so hard on themselves and their horses over the last 30 days. I am so proud of every single one of my students!

I loved watching everyone's videos, seeing everyone's arenas, their horses, there was so much variety! So many different types and breeds and sizes. And I could see how much everyone really loved their horses.

I hope you enjoy it.

Happy Riding!

This week’s live Q&A I kept it short and sweet. I talk about getting your horse supple with lateral work, I also shared updates from some of my programs, 30 Days to Round and the Training Scale Masterclass, and I’m so proud of those students.

I shared about my journeys with Harvey and Kensington and how they have progressed up through the levels, and how I love training and bringing young horses up through the levels.

Steffen Peters also came to my barn this week and I got to ride my horses and some of my clients horses with him. We worked on the subtlety of my aids and how I can better train and ride my horses so I shared a little bit about this too.
