EQR 420 Advanced Dressage
This course emphasizes the applied progression of a detailed and systematic approach to the training of both rider and horse in dressage. Topics include an emphasis on riding and training issues related to individual rider/horse goals. Cavaletti work, gymnastic exercises, and school figures are stressed as students develop an advanced independent seat and hand witnessed by the applied abilities to create soft, supple, straight, forward, and engaged movement. Riders in this class will be required to participate in at least one show on campus during the semester. This course may be repeated for credit. (Riding fee)
