Horse Dressage Training

Grand Prix Level dressage is the highest level of dressage. This level is governed by the FEI and tests the horse and rider to the highest standards. As with the previous levels of dressage, the horse and rider are judged on correct execution of movements, the willingness of the horse and the effectiveness of the rider’s aids. This level also consists of 3 standard tests: the Grand Prix, Grand Prix Special and the Musical Freestyle. The Grand Prix Special is similar to the standard Grand Prix test; however, special attention is paid to the transitions executed throughout the test.

Required movements for Grand Prix level dressage include:

Trot - Medium, Extended & Collected, Half Pass

Canter – Medium, Extended & Collected, Zig Zag Half Pass & Multiple Flying Lead Changes Every 1-2 Strides

Pirouettes

Jenny Rolfe can offer you the opportunity to train with her Iberian stallions using her unique skills of communication through core breathing awareness and body language.

You will see how the horse connects through loose work as Jenny demonstrates the power of focus and breathing as a bond with the horse. These skills are taken through work on the ground and will further enhance connection, balance and harmony for the rider.

A focus on core-breathing will enhance both posture and balance whilst allowing fluidity of movement throughout the body. The horse will become our mirror and be encouraged to move with a relaxed swinging ribcage and deeper rhythm in his breathing – essential for performance with every athlete. A connection through our core-breathing is like a wave in the sea- we can enhance forward movement or re-balance and steady the horse – from our core, our seat – our CONNECTION with the horse. In this way we find true HARMONY – tuning into the most sensitive responses of the horse.

You will learn a progressive system of training from the stable door and learn how to become the natural herd leader from the ground. You can take these skills of communication through loose work, lungeing, work in hand, building a friendship built upon trust and understanding. Jenny teaches her clients to look at a deeper self awareness mentally, physically and spiritually .
