Elegant Dressage Training. Set of 3DVDs. Anja Beran.
811210A
The dream of a perfect dressage horse: It exhibits lovely, elevated movements, aims to anticipate the rider's thoughts and it seems to glide through the arena as if by magic. But how to accomplish this goal?

A sound and careful basic training is the most important basis for any horse's successful development. In the film "Elegant Dressage Training, vol. 2", Anja Beran and her team show how they work with young horses. Following proper work at the lunge and a careful start under the saddle, the spectator can witness how first steps of lateral movements lead quite naturally to first steps of collection.

Following the proper basic training, the horse has the necessary basis to continue with gymnastic exercises. In the third volume of this series, Anja Beran and her mentor Manuel Jorge de Oliveira show how advanced horses grow into higher exercises of classical equitation. The film copes with difficulties during training, for example the natural crookedness.

Dressage is for horses, but the horse is not made for dressage. This DVD-series aims to develop and create a better understanding for the appropriate training, adapted to the horses needs. Correct riding contributes substantially to the horse's health. Dr. vet. Matilda Holmer-Rattenhuber explains bio-mechanical aspects. Anja Ilona Beran has gone through all steps of classical equitation during her training with Manuel Jorge de Oliveira, pupil of the famous Nuno Oliveira. She trains horses of different breeds, from three-year olds up to high school movements.

TheHorseStudio.com review on DVD 1:Anja Beran trained in the stables of Manuel Jorge de Oliveira, a pupil of the well known Nuno Oliveira, and she brings a delightful view of the training specifics for correct dressage work. With the aid of her mentor Jorge de Oliveira she delivers here the all around approach to promote and develop the most confident and sound, satisfied horse in the art of dressage. She begins with a physical examination of the horse, it's weaknesses and asymmetries and continues with specific exercises to improve the physical constitution. Gracefulness, aesthetics, harmony and ease will be the fascinating results of her work. The horse, Flamingo, with whom she works here is a Westphalian gelding and she has worked with him here for a year. He has undergone many ups and downs, as we all know youngsters provide. Anja shows that application of her school is not limited to Iberian lines. In addition the Warendorf veterinarian Dr. Gerhard Heuschmann, a highly respected man in his field, explains the important aspects of classical training. A very useful expression here of the fundamentals of the Oliveira School, and some good tips and insights for the professional as well as lots of great help for the amateur trainer. Very enjoyable. Highly recommended 90 mins duration

Format: NTSC: USA/Canada (side 1) and PAL Europe/Australia (side 2) In English.

TheHorseStudio.com review on DVD 2:TheHorseStudio.com review: Anja guides you through the classic Iberian principles beginning with basics such as how to longe correctly and with selective equipment and without auxiliary ( side ) reins. Following this you'll see how the horse accepts his first ride and how the work with the flexion of the horse to the inside and outside govern the progress and acceptance of the leg toward leg yield and shoulder fore. The video production is very good and well sectioned for easy review. The indoor arena is beautiful as are the horses so you find yourself easily carried away into the quiet harmony and practice of Anja and her team. Informative and with good guiding principles for the rider/trainer. Anja has provided good groundwork and procedures to take you past the basics. The well respected Manuel Jorge de Oliveira covers some of the riding basics and puts two riders through their paces including Anja. Some keen advice on not overtaxing your young horse is backed up by the doctorate studies of Dr. Matilda Holmer-Rattenhuber. At the end you will see the expertise of using the correct seat through a demonstration with a skeleton - who the doctor places upon the back of the horse sans legs to showcase how our pelvis and hips work on the horse's back. A bonus at the end as baroque horses are replaced by a warmblood/thoroughbred type though not sure why he's in a double bridle. The goal is to have the horse showcase his improvement from this workout to the one on the end of the next video in this series apparently. Recommended DVD for those that wish to learn the Iberian principles and the in hand work being up front with baby piaffer steps before riding too much, is clearly a useful exercise that benefits work later on in the saddle. The Spanish Walk and its training though controversial in some classicist circles, is demonstrated here too. Overall a great DVD, though they make it look easy! Duration of DVD 2 is 82 minutes.

DVD 2 NTSC North America/Canada format on one side of DVD, PAL ( European) on the other.
