It is said that there are many roads to Rome.  This is true enough, however, there is only one Appian Way, and in Dressage that is the Classical Way.  My methods and style closely follow those of many by-gone classicists as well as contemporary practitioners like Hubertus Schmidt and Conrad Schumacher.  I teach using time honored methods without tricks and shortcuts.  The welfare of the horse is always my top priority.  My clients learn to ride their horses over time with less and less help on the ground from me so that they can eventually apply their skills to any horse of any age in any situation effectively.  Among the specific goals are: an independent, elastic, and adhesive seat, (the uncontested holy grail of dressage), indispensable to the implementation of the famous training triangle.
