In this Dressage Today Podcast, sponsored by Equithrive, co-hosts Stephany Fish Crossman and Aviva interview Mary Wanless, creator of Ride With Your Mind Rider Biomechanics. They talked to Mary about her start in dressage, how her program differs from others and how it can be an asset to any rider. Plus, they take a deeper dive into what it means for a rider to be “talented” and how it might not have anything to do with talent.
Through their discussion about the many ways she connects to riders, including through her books, video series, podcast and her DressageTraining.TV, Mary explains the differences in learning through her teaching methods compared to those in a “normal” dressage lesson. Her insights into the learning process and how they can be applied to riding are invaluable, and the DT Podcast team enjoyed hearing more about them.
In this episode, Aviva and Stephany also discuss the latest L question from Sasha about how to ride the shallow loop in Training Level Test 3. We hope you enjoy the listen!
