Don’t have the tendency to want to hurry and not let the horse find it. You fix and wait for them to find it; then it’s their idea when they move their feet.

In working with people and trying to help them with something, I find it isn’t easy for me to get them to work in the area where it seems they need to work. They keep trying to work at the end result.

As a conclusion of these general observations about the course of dressage training I want to add the serious admonition; not to hurry any of the exercises and to let them all follow one another in such a way that the preceding exercise always constitutes a secure basis for the next one.
Gustav Steinbrecht
I’m still on the move, I’m getting better because I’m still studying. I still want to be a better horseman.

Nuno Oliveira
