The session will include a group ridden lesson focusing on:
The Scales of Training
Dressage test movements
Developing accuracy
Improving your marks

PLEASE NOTE: If your horse has recently shown any symptoms such as a temperature, runny nose or cough please do not attend as this could be contagious.
