Ritter Dressage Premium Courses
The Full Learning Experience
Â
All the Bells and Whistles.
Our Complete, Premium courses come with all the bells and whistles: live Q&A sessions, the community, live trainings and more, depending on the course. We are reducing the number of courses we offer as "Premium Courses" so that we can give our undivided attention on teaching just those courses. We have found that this is the best way to deliver the best course experience for our students. We periodically offer new courses, and when we do, you will find them here. All of our other courses, you can find in the Self-Study and Mini Courses sections.

Young Horse Training Course
Currently Running.
BETA Guided Program
This is an exercise-based course to develop the gymnastic development of the younger/lower-level horse. With simpler arena patterns and without the advanced movements often featured in our other courses. It is designed for any relatively green horse that has been ridden off the longe line on a 20m circle and around the whole school for a few weeks.
Through the Back
Coming Soon!
This is a complete dressage training system for you and your horse where we look in depth at riding “through the back” from a classical and biomechanics-based perspective. We don’t teach you to just address the head and neck to get the horse to lift the back. We teach you how to ride the whole horse, how to engage the hindquarters and enable the horse to lift the back.
Begins February/March 2025.
