Therefore, developing and upgrading a rider’s performance in any of the equestrian disciplines cannot be achieved by merely improving the rider’s physical fitness or continued training.
There is, however, an aspect we all, and may be many trainers and instructors, pay no heed to ;i.e. exploring the psychology of the horse, achieving psychological and spiritual harmony between the rider and his horse and finding the proper language understood by the horse and mastered by the rider for giving orders.
Dominating the hors and enforcing it , to do things it should not do or does not know how

to do, may, thus, lead to negative outcomes that would de reflected in the rider’s performance, development and safety.
This beautiful being endowed, by its Creator with numerous talents, should receive a lot of care and attention form us.
It should find, from us, more and deeper understanding.
It should be treated as an important partner without which the desired enjoyment of the equestrian sport, loved by all of us, would never be attained.
