A Dressage Trainer Who Makes Dressage Fun
Joan has a wonderful sense of humor and energy that engages the horse and the rider. She makes it fun to ride for both rider and horse. Her insights help the rider to understand their body position and how any variation of position affects the horse’s way of going.
Joan focuses on gymnastic training of the horse to develop the correct muscles allowing the horse to work freely and develop a solid base for the next level of training. The rider learns to help the horse seek the bit through soft and suppling hands, creating a beautiful long neck and head carriage with the poll high and the face being carried correctly on the vertical.
An emphasis is placed on making all lessons and training a positive experience. There is no reason for a tense rider as that leads to a tense horse and the horse must always be confident and comfortable in order to reproduce the exquisite movements, which have been given them by nature.
