Hi Dom and Jimmie. I just wanted to say thanks for the videos. I've only recently started riding and just came second in my second ever dressage test (scoring 70%). The little mantras that you suggest are really helpful: simple to remember but to the point. THANKS!
Had a great tip from my regular trainer, Sharon Grimstad on how to do this in a test when you don't have markers. Mark out a correct circle at home (as you've indicated) and then count how many strides are on each quarter when your horse is going well. Then in the test, count and put the same number of strides in each quarter!
well thats for sure one of the best dressage video tips I ve ever watched, great job dude! keep on going! I would be delightful to watch some more of that kind of tips
I actually heard a very interesting thing from my S judge dressage trainer the other day: The corners only need to be ridden as deeply as the sharpest turn of the test you are riding. In a Training level test, your sharpest turn is up the centerline, which would be the degree of a 10 m circle (half the width of the arena), i.e. your corners in a Training level test should be ridden at the degree and bend of a 10 m circle!
Love these videos! Would you consider doing a video on common injuries or conditions you see at home for example mud fever and at competitions like knocks and bumps after xc? Also how you treat these. Would be much appreciated :)
I love your vids! Im retraining an OTTB but am having trouble getting him on the bit. Could you maybe do a video on getting a horse to work on an outline/on the bit?
Could you do a video on how to balance and develop a canter? My horse is very green and very large, so has a lot of troubles making a 20 meter circle without falling in. Thank you!!
I find it very difficult to keep horses out on the circle I tend to fall in and not make it to the track, I know it must be my aids, do you have any tips?

Could you do a video on some slightly more advanced movements shoulder in, flying change, counter canter, and half pass. Thanks :)
