Canter Special Arena GPS eBook

Since many riders and their horses find the canter rather challenging, we decided to put together a canter special edition of the Arena GPS. It contains a mixture of previously unreleased, brand new exercises and a few exercises that are scattered throughout earlier Arena GPS editions that we have included here to make them easier to find.

We have sorted the exercises into three different chapters:
– Exercises to prepare and improve the canter depart
– Exercises that you can ride in the canter itself in order to improve the quality of the gait
– Exercises for practicing the counter canter

The 6 Essentials Arena GPS eBook

An eBook of Gymnastic Exercises designed to practice the 6 Essentials.

There are 6 core essentials that comprise everything that we do in Dressage. Like raw ingredients that can be formulated differently to create entirely different meals, each of these 6 basic raw “ingredients” that we use in the dressage training can be combined to form every dressage movement and exercise that we ride. EVERY THING you do or ride in Dressage comes from the 6 essentials. Even the Olympic dressage tests don’t contain any additional elements besides these:

1. Forward/Up Transitions/Lengthen the stride
2. Stop/Down Transition/Shorten The Strides/Slow Down The Tempo
3. Turn
4. Bend
5. Sidestep
6. Reinback

Young Horse Arena GPS eBook

We received many requests by Arena GPS (eBook series) users and members of our online courses who wanted us to make a special edition for young(er) horses and lower level horses, with simpler arena patterns and without advanced movements.

So we put together this Young Horse Special Edition. The exercises in this edition can be attempted with most horses after they have been ridden off the longe line on a 20m circle and around the whole school for a few weeks.

– More than 50 exercises
– Adaptable to any level of training
– Most of the exercises can be ridden in all three gaits

We have added a chapter with simple work in hand exercises that you can even introduce when the horse is being started under saddle. They support the work under the rider and will very effectively prepare and improve the horse’s understanding of rein aids, transitions, and sidestepping.
