Take charge of your rinding an offer for you to ecucate your horse

as an athlete and you as a rider

By Hanna Engström

The Education plan on Gotland’s Riding Academy to-wards the general concept of Academic Art of Riding, where the dressage is for the horse and the educa-tion of the rider towards future art. General:To educate a rider takes at least 20 years. To Educate a young horse, if you as a rider are already educated, takes around 8 years or more.Often, we have the combination about unaducated riders and an unaducated horse, and that combina-tion takes all time.Take the chance and make a good decision now, that will give you a value for life and makes the relation-ship between you and your horse more harmonic, choose of starting your education here an d now. This is for you who is starting up a young horse, this is for you having a rehabilitation horse and this is for you who is really and deeply passionate to dicscover a healthy way of dressage and the Academic Art of Riding.If you start as a new beginner in the Academic Art of Riding, you should calmly take step by step in your own rythm, if you are a more advanced rider, you probably go faster forward, and this education as a chance for a deeper study of the basic education and go deeper into detail how to use the dressage for the horse.

What you need to start this education is:- you need a horse you feel comfortabel with, who is healthy and who likes to work with you.- you need time for studying 4 to 6 times a week, at least 30 min, plus some theoretical study time.- you need to be able to participate 3 times a year

at those modules at Granly Hestepension and be prepared for taking extra lessons in between from your regular trainer or coming as a week student at Gotland’s Riding Academy.- You need passionated intrest for the Art of Riding and the wish to dive deeper in the basic ideas of this dressage. Equipment:You will need a caveson, caveson reins, a wooden whip, and for the first part of the seat program you will need a saddle with stirrups, otherwise it is per-fectly fine to ride without saddle.If you have a saddle it shall help the horses body to be able to bend and move, and put you in a natural seat, where your hip joints and your upper legs does not get locked.It does not matter if you are riding with or without a bit. The education matters about the shape of the horse, not about the equipment. How your development will continue:Depending on you and your horse and your ability to spend time in between the modules together with your trainer who is following the same path, obs. you cannot combine this education with other educa-tions at the same time, because it will take all your time besides your normale time. You shall be aware that you have to focus on your training a little bit in a realtistic way.If you are only participating on the modules, you need a very good self discipline to make your train-ing at home becoming daily routine.Recommandation for your home studies:- the educational videos of Bent Brandrup (www.bentbranderup.com)- The Academic Art of Riding by Bent Branderup- Riding with a curb by Bent Branderup

Groundwork and Longing

1. Education and understanding of practical work standing still with your horse from the ground. Un-derstanding of bending and stellning.The rider’s body position, aids and shaping of the horse’s body, including horizontal, lateral and vertical bending, changing the point of weight, direct and indirect aids and understanding of different leg aids. 2. Education, understanding and practical exercises in movement from the groundThe rider’s body position, aids and how to shape the horse in movement. Education your eye and your feeling of the hand in groundwork.Depending on you and your horse, you can continue with longing exercises in all three gates.This part is concluding the straithness training of yourself and your horse, understanding of the circle as a tool, how to educate the activity of the inside and outside hindleg 3. Development of the forward-sidewards move-ments, shoulder-in, quater-in, the traversale, the half pass and the half pirouette. 4. Starting to discover the patterns of the riding arena. Before we are starting to educate the rider’s seat, the horse should at least be able to work in walk and trott on the longe and if possible as well a natural canter.

Education of the Rider’s seat Seat 11. Balance and coordinationExercises on horseback in the longe, at least in walk and trott, if possible as well in canter.This program cleans your inner system, takes away tensions, makes your awareness of your own body growing.It gives you an independent feeling on horseback, gives you a free flow energy and the and independ-ent and secure feeling of balance - your personal basic seat.Our bodies are different, and fixed seat could give you unnecessary tensions and future problems. We think it is important to find your individual balanc in your body.The second step of your seat education should be the awareness and the ability to read the horse’s move-ments. Seat 2a) study the horse’s individual bodymap in move-ment.b) how I find the point of balance and help the horse towards the natural balance through my seat posi-tion.c) education and understanding and awareness how a correct shaped horse feels in standing still. It is an installation of the riders body positions and aids through the seat and the leg. Obs. this can only be done if your horse is educated up to that level, han-deled by an instructor or you can take that education at Gotland’s Ridingacademy helped by an instructor. Education of the Rider’s hand

1. Education of your hand holding the reins in differ-ent combinations, and installing the direct and the indirect reins in your hand. This is also done on still standing horse and further on an horse in the longe. There you will learn how to coorperate between the seat, leg and hand aids, and how to support your horse by the use of the aids into balance.

2. The time it takes repeating this basic knowledge with you and your horse together is depending on the individual case. The next step is to go through the education of the hindlegs from the horseback into shoulder-in, quater-in, traversale and pirouette from your seat and the aids.

As soon as the rider and the horse have understood the aids in all three gates, it is time to discover the different patterns of the riding arena. The aim for the year education at your place should be to go through the first two chapters of Ground-work and Longing, the education of a balanced seat and in modul number 3 the education of the rider’s hand together with the seat and the leg.

Depending on your personal equipage (a youngster, a rehabilitation horse or a more educated horse) the practical lessons are individual. Through all the time and development, the wheel of education is repeating the basic education over and over again. Therefore, we need a mutual understand-ing for the biomechanics of the horse, the rider’s own body, the different aids and their purpose to develop the next level of studies.Therefore, we are talking about balance, suppleness and shape – tempo, takt and schwung.The idea is that you join this year’s education with the ambition to follow this path in your own speed created for your horse.

Therefore, we kindly recommend the following con-tent for the three weekstudent clinics within the first year, second year, ec: Modul 1Groundwork and Longing Modul 2Development of a balanced seat

Modul 3Installing and understanding the aids Modul 4Education of your hand Modul 5Deeper insight into the sidemovements Modul 6PedagogicsReading of your horse, discover borders, atitude, caracter of your horse, how your horse learn best and apriciate the work Modul 7Diffenrent patterns of the riding arena Modul 8Developement of collection Modul 9Focus on work in canter Modul 10Work in Hand or Longreins Please be aware that these upper mentioned Modul 5 to 10 are more or less examples and can be contin-ued again and again.
