2008 has finally brought about some more articles and more to follow - I promise!
I finally got around to the follow-up articles to my one on Lungeing. Now you can find out about the various training aids and their application; Side Reins; Lauffer / Vienna Reins and The Chambon.
Now available - The Great Auxiliary Reins Debate. To use or not to use.
I’ve reinstated and updated the recommended reading list. Find it at Books to Read.
Party Time! is now live. This concerns all aspects of taking your horse off to a show. It includes information on What to Wear; Arena Geometry - correct use of the arena as it applies to the dressage test; what the Judges’ Comments really mean by the short-hand notes they write on your score sheet, and a comprehensive section on the growing fun side of dressage, Freestyle Dressage to Music aka The Kür.
All articles are written by me unless credited otherwise.
Thanks to all those readers who’ve continued to contact me with messages of support and queries about problems in their own riding. It lets me know that the effort I put into the site is appreciated and has helped many riders who are out there in a dressage wilderness or have no decent trainer within a reasonable distance.
There is much more to Classical Dressage Notebook than the articles listed on the left hand sidebar! Many pages offer links to articles buried deeper within the site, which you can now find with the new Full Site Index page. All articles are listed alphabetically, so if you can’t remember how you found it originally you can now go straight to it!
Take a good look around before you go and don’t forget to bookmark!
It can be very hard to proof read your own work; you know what it’s supposed to say so you read it as being written thus. Spell checkers don’t pick up on words spelled correctly but used in the wrong context, so a very special Thank You goes to one of my students, Sue Fairchild, for her diligent proof-reading of the site.
Enjoy the journey!
