The Riding Through History Series consists of (currently) four quarterly mounted workshops exploring prominent Classical masters century by century.

​

Guided by historical dressage specialist Katherine Evans, the riding style and teachings of each master will be explored through patterns and exercises endorsed and used by the masters themselves. Participants (both mounted and unmounted) are expected to collaborate as a group, to share their observations and feelings of what can be gained, how different horses negotiate the teachings dependent on body type, and what can be brought into our modern teachings.

​

In this first workshop, we explore the 16th Century and delve into the teachings of:

- Grisone

- Fiaschi

- Corte

Incorporating history, culture and application to understand the context of the early teachings of Classical dressage, and to pave the way for the continuation of the series - the 17th, 18th & 19th Centuries.

Whilst participants are encouraged to immerse into the styles and equipment of each period, there is no expectation to alter your personal training style/equipment. The emphasis will be on exploring the exercises of the time to see how and why they were beneficial.
