I own a horse, and I think he'd be great in dressage - as I had some dressage lessons a couple years ago at the hunter/jumper and dressage barn I was riding at.
My hunter coach was ill and in her place was one of the dressage instructors. So I learned a lot of neat stuff from her - and I'd like to get into it more...
But... lessons are expensive and with paying board and other expenses I just don't have the extra money.
Is there any way I can get started? I'm teaching Riley some of the things I learned, with the help the barn owner's but I can only go so far...

Devil's Child: There are a couple of simple exercises that you can get Riley started on dressage using. Here is one that you can try. You might also want to look around where you live to see if there are any riders ho do dressage who can give you some help.
One of them is to start to get him working over his back. That means that he has to stretch over his topline. Keep him balanced and start at walk on a 20m circle. Once you have a consistant medium walk, foreward and free, keep the same walk and gather the reins so that there is good contact. Keep your hands steady and you have to be able to feel the contact of his mouth in your shoulder blades. Work his mouth (giving and taking pressure on the reins but not too harsh/fast/slow/often) so that he gives in. Most of them will start to chew. Don't see-saw your hands left and right. That hurts their mouths. Just wait and you will feel when his back lifts up. You'll feel it...
Just have patience, it will work with time. It takes a while for them to build the right muscles

Cherry, this is not a thread about Brat's mare, Anna. It is a thread about dressage, so unless you plan to talk about something specific of Brat's work with Anna in dressage, back off
