It is especially in the practice of exercise riding, i.e. the execution of certain movements in specific places, that the artistic aspect, the very essence of dressage, can be lost.
— Klaus Balkenhol - The man and his training methods - 2017


The project was born from the desire to reconcile sport and equestrian art, and thus to offer riders wishing to remain faithful to the great principles of classical dressage tests to guide them in their search for "the restoration or improvement of natural gaits" and each horse’s collection.


These events are above all an opportunity to assess the locomotion of the horses presented. From the basics to the highest level, more than the figures themselves, it is the main principles of the training scale (rythm, relaxation, connection...), which guarantee a training that respects the physical and psychological integrity of the horses, that are appreciated and must be constantly sought after, always preferring correctness over exuberance.

DRESSAGE


5 levels allow you to progress in the respect of each horse’s locomotion, from the respect of the natural gaits to collection.

JUMPING


The jumping workshops allow you to break down and improve the fundamentals such as rythm, dressage, willingness, layout/ accuracy, gymnastics / mechanisation.

 
A good definition of the artist would seem to me to be the one who has been able to preserve the maximum amplitude to the collected gaits of his horse.
