Online Training Resources --anyone else trying out the Dressage Today library?
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2018 11:27 pm
I have subscribed to dressage clinic.com for some time and enjoy the full length clinic sessions. Plus some of my favorite trainers are represented there.
However, I have been trying out the former dressage training online now https://video.dressagetodayonline.com/ that is linked to Dressage Today (they have been offering free 30 day try outs). It's a bit chaotic in some ways, but there are a lot of resources and it is searchable (although not that refined in the search). The clinic bits tend to be broken up into 10-20 minute segments so it is a bit easier to get to specific topics vs watching an entire lesson (although I do find it more thoughtful to watch the whole lesson).
I've been enjoying Catherine Haddad's teaching on flying change prep and aids. She emphasizes parallel aids for the change and I think that will help us when we get back to work.
I'm not sure if I'll continue with both subscriptions but might for sheer inspiration as spring approaches.
