Craig Stevens When you find a resistance in training the horse, turn the resistance into a training exercise. A resistance is not a personal attack on your authority unless you make it one. Resistance arises from discomfort or a lack of understanding (usually due to the incorrect use of the aids). Dressage should not be running combat with the horse but a playful exchange with friends. Its outcome, when done well, is the cultivation of the minds and bodies of both the horse and the human. There is only one vision; harmony. There is only one way; gentle. There is only one proof; lightness. There is only one correction; kindness. Two beings learn to act as one. This is dressage and, in one word, goodness. If it is not this way, change and awaken your heart... study, and open the mind and to this add physical alignment. This is good dressage.
