​A huge thank you to Magnolia Equestrian Center and Tia Evans & Staff for  hosting us and to Back On Track and Triple Crown for their sponsorship and swag.

Another highly transformative six-hour lecture and two days of training rides with Dr. Gerd Heuschmann.  Not a horse or rider left without new tools and a very visible difference in movement and comfort.

Takeaways:  Classical Dressage and proper movement when properly trained, provides the horse with the ability to first use their neck to balance, go straight (proper spinal alignment) and forward and when properly organized (both rider and horse) - work on proper bend and collection.  When done without the use of traditional tools (find another way) - and done in a thoughtful progression ('I have time'!), the proper movement, balance and all the other training pyramid elements are easier, more sustainable and result in a happy horse, rider and their longevity. Regardless of the level or sport.  Oh, there's so much more and it's hard to boil all that info down.  But let's just say that we hope this Symposium lit a few lightbulbs and will encourage the pursuit of thoughtful training that puts the horse first. Onward!
