Members and Fellow Enthusiasts, Just returned from a whirlwind trip to the UK, where DTO exhibited at the British National Dressage Championships! Wow, that was alot of fun...it was just lovely with the weather cooperating at a brisk 65F each day. So we got to tell our story to the Brits, which was VERY well received I might say, thank you over there on the other side of the pond. But the best part was all of the wonderful people we met and contacts we made. Oh....and great content we came back with. So...stay tuned! This week we release a couple of new videos that are especially good for the novice or green rider. By watching these videos you will learn:
- The basics of obtaining proper contact with Col. Christian Carde
- Exercises and riding to achieve balance in both the horse and rider with Susanne von Dietze
Remember...with our latest product upgrade, you are now able to right click on the video screen and increase or decrease the bit rate to increase the clarity of video picture or decrease it if you have a slow connection. Don't forget.....our Buy A Dressage Horse section is viewed by approximately 15,000 unique people per month, from all over the world! You can list your horse for $36.00 per month and receive full access to our video training library along with it!
Sincerely,
Reisa Bonetti www.DressageTrainingOnline.com
