APPROACH





We are interested in the classical approach to equitation. The following links will take you to sites that we think represent and illustrate the Classical Approach well.


CLASSICAL DRESSAGE

This site focuses on the classical rider, Sylvia Loch, and provides a wealth of information about the classical approach and her work in this area.

PAUL BELASIK

This is the site of the classical rider, trainer, and author Paul Belasik. We took Elljay Indiana to have some lessons with him when he was giving a clinic in Yorkshire in 2005. Click here for more details of our lessons. We are hoping that we might be able to engage him to undertake a clinic in Scotland when he is next in the UK. This is not likely to be until late summer/early Autumn 2006. Please contact us if you are interested in taking part.

D. FRANCISCO DE BRAGANCA (at Quinta do Archino)

This site describes the courses available at Quinta do Archino with D. Francisco de Braganca. We spent a week riding here in September 2005. Click here for pictures of our time at Quinta do Archino.

HAUTE ECOLE

This site describes High School work but contains advice and definitions to help all levels of rider and horse

THE CLASSICAL RIDING CLUB

This is the site for the Classical Riding Club. It's web site contains a copy of the Club's Charter as well as information on how to join the club. It posts details of CRC events, CRC merchandise, trainers, and a members' "Notices" page.

CLASSICAL EQUITATION

This link takes you to an article in which we discuss the role of the Reflective Practitioner in Classical Equitation. A version of this article was published in the Classical Riding Club Newsletter (No. 33, Spring 2003)

LITERATURE REVIEWS

This link takes you to a page that I hope to be able to develop over time. In my study of the classical equitation tradition I am gradually collecting and reading some wonderful books. I am taking notes to help me in my study and thought it might be useful to keep them on this page.
