Wirgler Workshop “INTRO TO WESTERN DRESSAGE”

Western Dressage is a discipline that challenges you to be better  and more subtle in your communication with your horse .  We will study the gaits and balance and impulsion needed to execute some of the upper level maneuvers. In Part I we will also study some of the exercises needed to build the condition your horse needs to perform these beautiful and athletic moves.   We will learn about how our equitation can help or hinder our horse from being the best it can be. – I know you are ready for some more advanced things to think about and practice.  We will learn how to set tempo and rate speed and footfall sequence so that you and your horse are in sync and a team.  I have been wanting to challenge some of you, and share with you the preparation and execution of some more advanced riding maneuvers that are used in Western Dressage .  We will work our way up in the second part of the series to practicing some of the beautiful maneuvers like  Flying lead changes, and  those beautiful diagonal moves like trotting leg yields, and half passes (do you know the difference?)  And then how do you prepare and teach your horse to Piaffe (trot in place) or do a canter Pirouette?
