Training

F.E.I definition of Dressage:

"The harmonious development of the physique and ability of the horse."

Andrea's training philosophy is based on the development of the horse as in the F.E.I definition, using the German scales of training. It is her aim to make dressage easier for horse and rider to understand and to develop a partnership between horse and rider.

Andrea is registered on the British Dressage Trainers database and is also a member of the Pyramid Training scheme. Andrea is also a trainer of the British Dressage Under 21's.

The Pyramid Training scheme gives dressage trainers the opportunity to work in a club atmosphere with like minded trainers whilst developing their training techniques. All club trainers are fully insured and hold a current first aid certificate. Trainers are continually working to improve their own knowledge and training skills. Pyramid trainers will be the first in the country to work towards the new British Dressage coaching certificates.
