Charlotte Dujardin: Talks About Training Young Dressage Horses

Charlotte Dujardin has been able to develop remarkable relationships with her horses. This all starts at a young age with understanding the balance between working the young dressage horse correctly or punishing them by doing too much work.

In this video, we get a closer look at a Charlotte Dujardin symposium in which she works with a rider on a young dressage horse.

The key training concepts in this dressage lesson apply to all horses at all level but really come into play when you are trying to develop a young or lower level dressage horse. Strength training is important but keeping the horse mentally prepared to work harder and enjoy the work is even more important as you prepare a horse to move up the levels in dressage.
