In this series, physiotherapist, trainer, author of Balance in Movement and long-time Dressage Today contributor Susanne von Dietze demonstrates and teaches the benefits of a balanced seat at Grand Prix trainer Jessica Jo “JJ” Tate’s farm in Landrum, South Carolina.
In this video—during the last ride on Day 1 of the clinic—Susanne works with JJ and Gideon, a 2008 3/4 Connemara gelding. They work on the collection and getting the horse to take even steps with his hind end and for him to carry more weight behind.
