Dressage test review

BvB has experience as a coach, competitor and as a judge and so understands what is required at each level and how to get it.

Reviewing a test is a fantastic learning opportunity and can identify clear areas to target in your coaching.

It needn’t be a competitive test; it could be simply to confirm that you are competing at the correct level for you and your horse or check you are riding the movements correctly.

Confidence is built through the correct preparation, knowledge and thorough understanding of what you are doing. A test review will provide you with tools, advice, and feedback to improve your accuracy and presentation.

If it is a competitive test with a scoresheet BvB will also review the score sheet to complete your understanding of why marks were given and explain judge's comments.

N.B. BvB cannot review a scoresheet without a video of the associated test.

Schooling

BvB is an experienced rider who rides each horse with empathy and the desire to get the best out of them. She is also careful to produce and school horses with their regular rider in mind- it must be a team effort.

Lunge lessons allow you to focus solely on yourself and your seat without worrying about controlling or influencing the horse, to help improve posture, balance and rhythm. They will highlight problem areas and points of weakness that can then be address with targeted exercises.
