Freedom & Choice

A trainer’s perspective on why freedom and choice are necessary in order to create a happy equine athlete.

Why Freedom & Choice?

Happiness is important for our horse’s welfare, and also for the sport of dressage.

This video will explore what it means for a horse to be a happy athlete and will explain the importance of incorporating Freedom & Choice into their lives and training.
