THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS BOOK…
When it comes to creating dressage floorplans, there’s actually not that much you can do.
Think about it; a dressage floorplan is no more than a series of straight lines and circles.
That’s it!
The level of difficulty is increased by riding these straight lines and circles in different places, including transitions, and riding lateral exercises. But ultimately, when it comes to navigating your 20x40 or 20x60 arena, you will either be following a straight line or riding around a circle.
Even when riding lateral exercises such as half-pass and leg-yield, you’re still following a straight line. The only difference is that you are following the line in two or three tracks, rather than on one track only.
So technically, we lied to you a little bit! This guide isn’t a book of dressage exercises. It’s really a book of dressage floorplans.
BUT each floorplan can be modified to included different combinations of paces, transitions, and lateral work, giving you an almost infinite amount of dressage exercise combinations.
We’ve created some of the exercises for you (over 190!), but there’s also space for you to modify them and create your own.
After working through this book, you’ll never look at straight lines and circles in the same way again!
