Introduction to In-hand work: French Classical Dressage

Stuck for something to do with your horse on rainy days as we enter march?
This demonstration will show how to start flexions with your horse from the ground, including a series of exercises which can be done in the stable.
In-hand work is useful for any horse in any discipline/ stage of training as they teach the language of the bit, meaning clearer communication when in the saddle, and a more supple, straighter horse.
There will be a mixture of different horses as the approach is different depending on conformation and experience.
The demonstration will be presented by Ellie King, a trainee teacher with the Ecole de Légèreté - a French classical dressage school founded by Philippe Karl, whose focus is education where the horse is put first.
Please bring a chair, there will be light refreshments and it very likely will be cold!
Tickets are £10 and can be purchased via the link in this event or at the door via PayPal or cash.
See you there!
