Get a preview to see why Topline Ink Equestrian Journal is so well liked by Judges, Instructors, Students and Riders at all levels. | Balance: The Bottom Line By Arlene Rigdon (USEF "S" Judge) "In training the horse along the principles of dressage, there is one quality that, though it is elusive and often subtle, is fundamental to everything. This quality is balance - if it is correct, everything is possible; if not, systematically the gaits of the horse are destroyed...." |
| Half-Halt Insights By Sarah Martin (USDF certified instructor through 4th Level, "L" Judge graduate 'with distinction') "What is a half halt and how do you ride one? .... Half halts come in many forms, and are used for a range of reasons, from rebalancing a horse to making transitions, to redirecting a horse's focus." |
| | | | The Balanced Seat By Dr. Thomas Ritter "The centered seat will always be the correct seat. The word "correct" sometimes gives rise to misunderstandings in this context. Many people take it to mean adherence to a certain superficial form. In classical terms, however, a correct seat is first and foremost a functional seat, a seat that allows the rider to influence the horse effectively, because it is balanced, straight, and supple." |

May 2008 Issue / Breathe Life into Training By Jenny Rolfe | "It is very important that the rider learns to use these aids as independently as possible..." Building on the Levels - Christine Rivlin "With gymnastic dressage exercises, horses can develop their symmetry, becoming straight" Correct Dressage Training - Ivette Harte "Excellent riders encourage elasticity through the horse's back, which depends on a release through the neck and an engagement of the hindquarters." The Alexander Technique as a Path to Harmony between Horse & Rider
