EST-3003 Dressage for the Hunter and Jumper

This class is for the hunt seat rider that does not wish to specialize in dressage. This course introduces the students to the fundamental theories of dressage while allowing them to maintain a hunt seat position. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of flatwork and basics. Students will strengthen their ability to ride their horse consistently forward and connected. Lengthening and shortening the stride, as well as lateral movements will be introduced. This knowledge will then be applied to small jumps and courses. Detailed skill requirements are outlined in the Equine Studies Handbook Appendix 2.
