TRAINING WITH KYRA KYRKLAND
Volume 4
Lateral Movements

Kyra Kyrklund is one of the most complete horsewomen of our time. Before concentrating on dressage, she was competing in both eventing and showjumping in her native Finland. Kyra has competed at five Olympic Games. Partnered by her unforgettable black stallion, Matador, she won a Silver Medal at the 1990 World Equestrian Games in Stockholm and the Volvo World Cup in Paris in 1991.

After seven years as chief dressage trainer at the Swedish National Stud at Flyinge, Kyra is now based in England from where she travels to do clinics and seminars around the world.

"Balance - the what, why and how" is the key to Kyra's logical training system. This series gives you the opportunity to appreciate and benefit from her clear and consistent training techniques. Each programme gives comprehensive guidelines to the "building blocks" of her effective "start, stop, turn" formula from the basic stages through to the most advanced levels of dressage training.

This system and philosophy has not only enabled Kyra to produce 14 international Grand Prix horses but also to train many riders in Olympic dressage, showjumping and eventing. She believes that the influence of correct basic level training gives the horse the confidence to perform consistently and successfully in any sphere.
