straightforward and methodical. Doug thinks long-term
and waits for results."
Heather Mason - 'S' Dressage Judge and Grand
Prix Dressage Rider and Trainer.
Before/After:
This may give you an idea of how much progress
can be made in a short period of training. The following pictures
are of Rocket over a eight month period, nothing short of remarkable.
Not only a significant increase in muscle mass but also in his balance
and movement. Rocket, owned by the Clover family of Oldwick NJ,
came from a show jumping background with the intention of converting
to eventing. He's made great strides with particular focus on suppling
exercises, stretching and transitions in his dressage, as well as
hill work and XC schooling experiences to markedly improve his overall
base fitness. He has recently scored as high as 73% in dressage,
with 3 9's in the collective remarks, this trend should no doubt
continue.
The specific training program will be modified
to suit your goals, and map out a path that will reach them with
you and your horse feeling confident and relaxed. Whether FEI Dressage
or Eventing all the horses are hacked out on trails once per week.
Getting out of the ring and into the hills does wonders for their
mental as well as their physical health and stamina.
Examples can be found below as well more detailed
case histories posted for Dressage
or Eventing.
