How Dressage Riders Develop "Feel"

So many riders I talk to complain about tight hips. They try unsuccessfully to open their hip angle, repeating exercises on and off the horse that only produce a temporary shift in their position that they can’t seem to maintain. To open your hip angle in the saddle you need to consider it a whole body self-organization. Focusing solely on the hips will limit the possibilities and will not set you up to achieve your goal.Newletter sign up; email me at sdestefano1@hotmail.comJoin my Facebook group at (4) Core Skills for Dressage Riders | FacebookLike my Facebook page: www.facebok.com/fi4eqwww.fi4eq.com Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/feldydressage)
