Hi everyone,

My horse is an apply and although I'm a 'dressage-person' I started him western a couple of years ago. Because of a problem in his right front food that lasted a year my vet said it would be better not to ride him western style anymore and that dressage would be better for him.

That was no problem for me because I like dressage and so I started him dressage. But now, after 1,5 year, I didn't like where we were going. Things were not going as they should and we ended up fighting a lot while we were riding.

So I looked for another instructor and ended up with a classical rider. He's an American, living in Germany and we've had a couple of lessons of him now and I feel a big change in my horse. A positive change I happily add.
I feel my horse having more fun and relaxing a lot better.

And now I wonder. Does anyone here do classical dressage and did/do you feel your horse change for the better?
