"My dream was to be able to ride the Grand Prix dressage test beautifully, achieving the harmony that makes dressage art and the technical excellence that makes it a sport!" says Reisa Bonetti-Sullivan, founder of DressageTrainingOnline.com "However, I wasn't blessed with an abundance of natural talent and my time was limited due to work commitments. Like all horse owners, there are many demands on the available cash and it seemed impossible for a rider like me to get access to the top instructors and clinicians. I believe that dressage must be about the quality and I wanted to focus my training  on 'correct basics" so that I could develop the skills that would facilitate progressive improvement for me and my horse ...  there had to be a solution?

At the time I was involved with the internet in my professional life and it did not take much to see that this emerging medium could be the answer!  My personal passion and penchant for perfection prompted the creation of an "on-line training facility" where ALL enthusiasts could learn from the top international instructors and enjoy the convenience of self managed training, at a fraction of the cost of one-on-one lessons. Then consider the savings re transport costs, time off work and other expenses which make regular instruction difficult for most people who have work and family commitments.

Many subscribers to DressageTrainingOnline.com  tell us that the service allows them to have a lesson - at any place, at any time - and we know of enthusiasts who take their lap top on the train, into waiting rooms, with them on a lunch break or to bed at night.  Being able to go over a lesson many times or revise certain complex theories until the concepts are clear - before attempting to put them into practice- is the way to achieve clarity and confidence.

Dressage enthusiasts tell us that every time they watch and listen, they take in another subtle but important lesson and this has helped greatly when it comes to prioritising their horse's training and recognising the common difficulties and mistakes encountered by the horse and rider.  Repetition is accepted as a very effective aid to learning and helps to get new concepts in to the sub conscience where they form part of the knowledge base that enables riders to develop feel and the correct responses - it takes time and effort, but then everything that is worthwhile does!

DressageTrainingOnline.com offers a vast library of material which will educate and inform riders at all levels.  There is no breed bias and riders from all equestrian disciplines can access training techhiques and philosophies that will help all horses to improve and gain confidence.  Thinking riders are always looking to improve their knowledge about the "influence of the aids" which will help them to achieve the harmony and lightness that is the true reward of success.
