The art of classical dressage training.
The intention of this film is to give riders a different understanding of dressage and to make clear: Dressage is made for the horse and horses are not made for dressage! Anja Beran is a classical dressage trainer. Together with her mentor Manuel Jorge de Oliveira, she shows that only correct dressage work turns a horse into a riding horse. With well-shaped muscles and mentally as well as physically balanced, it matures and develops into a self-confident and satisfied partner - for a whole - and hopefully long - horse's life. Anja explains how all horses can benefit from proper dressage training. She starts with a physical evaluation of its weaknesses and asymmetries and continues with specific exercises to improve the physical constitution. Gracefulness, aesthetics, harmony and ease will be the fascinating result of her work.
Anja Beran learnt the art of classical equitation in the stables of Manuel Jorge de Oliveira, a pupil of the well known Nuno Oliveira. Now she is training horses of different breeds, from the age of three upto high school exercises. Classical equitation has been existing for centuries and as per Anja's opinion, it is the origin of all equestrian knowledge - and this, and ONLY this, is the basis of excellence in ALL disciplines.
