Elegant Dressage Training part 1

The intention of this film is to give riders a different understanding of dressage and to make clear: Dressage is made for the horse and horses are not made for dressage! Anja Beran is a classical dressage trainer. Together with her mentor Manuel Jorge de Oliveira, she shows that only correct dressage work turns a horse into a riding horse. With well-shaped muscles and mentally as well as physically balanced, it matures and develops into a self-confident and satisfied partner for a whole - and hopefully long - horse´s life. Anja Beran explains how horses can benefit from proper dressage training. She starts with a physical evaluation of its weaknesses and asymmetries and continues with specific exercises to improve the physical constitution. Gracefulness, aesthetics, harmony and ease will be the fascinating result of the work.

Special: Flamingo just one example of many.
Anja Beran is working with the Westphalian gelding Flamingo since nearly one year. He has gone through many ups and downs. Flamingo is a perfect example, showing that elegant dressage training is not only limited to Iberian horses. In addition, the Warendorf veterinarian Dr. Gerhard Heuschmann explains the scientifically important aspects of classical training.
