Course Description


This program is not a course as such.  It is just a collection of articles that I find relevant to my training.  I wanted to share my collection of articles for future reference.  As a coach/mentor to my students I want them to feel supported all the time, not just in their lesson.  I am contacted by many people wishing they could have lessons from me but being so far away doesn't allow us to met face to face. We have reached the digital era, so remote lessons are definitely possible.  (www.classicaldressage.net.au)

In the meantime I am pleased to offer some free education.  

Happy riding.🐴🐴🐴

You can talk about your work and education history, and really anything else that shows off who you are so your students get excited about learning from you. You're the expert after all, this is your chance to shine!
