Natural Horsemanship: Lessons for Dressage
Sandra Dias da Cunha is both a western rider and “natural horsemanship” teacher at the Costa do Estoril Equestrian Center.
In the last five years she devoted to the study and practice of natural horsemanship, first following the teachings of Monty Roberts and currently under the guidance of Norbert Gleissner.
One of the biggest challenges she met in this subject was overcoming the fears of her own dressage mare Pretty Woman. A very successful sports horse that achieved very good marks on the national and international competition, with the junior rider Inês Mano Pires.
In this article Sandra shares with us an overview on the techniques and steps she followed in order to solve some of Pretty Woman’s fears using typical natural horsemanship procedures.
