Together we have 25 horses in the stable. Five of them are ours, and the rest belong to clients that we teach on a regular basis. By reaction, I mean the reaction the horse has to the leg, staying sensitive. Basics are a big thing. For example, working on transitions can improve a horse's piaffe without schooling the movement itself.
Obvious movements have to be trained, but most of the work is on basics.
You are going to be giving a clinic in Delray Beach, Florida, sponsored by Gold Coast Dressage in December. I enjoy working with all levels of horses and riders as long as they work hard. I work with people from training level to grand prix. I know some people don't like to work with lower level riders, but I think it is so important that a rider starts out right.
