teaches the new rider the English riding style in a very direct
approach. In the end of the course the rider is able to walk and trot
independently, feeling secure on and around the horse, is able to make an
easy outside trip, tack the horse independent and we made a start with
the canter. From experience we know that sportive riders even learn to
canter independently in this week.
