Rev Up Your Dressage Scores
Course Description
Anyone who rides competitively wants to improve….not just to win, but to monitor their own progress. It feels good to know that you've done well; it feels great to believe you are getting even better.
You can work harder, ride more, train longer….but sometimes, getting better only means you have to be "smarter." This course provides some “insider insights” into how you can improve by knowing more, not working harder, or training longer.
