Dressage Training
Here at Barguse Riding Centre, we not only provide informative riding lessons on our school horses but also cater for the private horse owner who wishes to develop their skills further.
We are proud to be able to offer access to some of the top trainers in both dressage and jumping. Barguse is unique in being able to provide training for all levels of rider from complete beginner to the most experienced horse owner.
Please check out our various trainers.
Lisa Todd
Lisa first began her riding career concentrating on BSJA jumping and BE eventing. However, her passion for dressage was triggered after she was fortunate to take some lessons with the late Franz Rochowansky (former Chief Rider of the Spanish Riding School) as a teenager. Thus, began a long and at times painful journey discovering the intricacies of dressage and the various training techniques. Some more successful than others!!
Lisa has been fortunate to have had training with some of the UK's top trainers. However, she credits German dressage trainer, Michael Beining with finally teaching her the correct use of the seat and fully understanding the German Scales of Training. Lisa has competed from novice to advanced and teaches all standards of rider including para.
Lisa particularly enjoys teaching the dressage academy.
Having trained with Michael for several years she can safely say that there is no short cut to success. It is vital that riders understand that the basic training foundations must be in place before attempting more advanced movements.
If you cannot canter your horse in a balanced manner then you're going to struggle to do flying changes!
Dressage is a fantastic sport and if you think you'd like to give it a go, please give us a call.
Michael Beining
Barguse is fortunate to host regular clinics with German trainer, Michael Beining. His training credentials are impressive (see his profile page) However, Michael will happily train riders from beginner to advanced level whether you are in to pure dressage, eventing or showjumping. As long as you are keen to learn then he is happy to teach you!
He has an excellent command of English, enjoys teaching both junior and senior riders on various types of horses (so don't worry if you do not own a huge moving warmblood! ) and is approachable and patient!!
The clinic runs over several days to allow riders the opportunity to have either one lesson or an intensive course depending on your time and finances!!
