What readers are saying about this book
Jane Savoie
This journal is an absolutely essential tool for goal-setting, tracking progress, and perfecting exercises and movements.
It's a "must have" in your training arsenal.
Toni E.
This journal has been so helpful for me planning a freestyle. The figures pages and arena pages make it wonderfully easy to map out potential patterns and keep the geometry straight in my head.
I keep it in my tack trunk at shows!
Emilie G.
I LOVE this!
The Journal gave me a place to put everything in one place.
As an instructor, my students can also use the Journal as a way to remember their homework from week to week, as well as taking note of any questions that may come up as they review their rides.
Sara S.
As I only ride with my trainer once per week, I am going to use the Dressage Riders Journal to document the highlights of our lessons as well as to make and execute a “to do list” before the next lesson, so I can make the maximize our lessons.
I will also plan out my show season so I can achieve my goal of obtaining my silver medal.
Hadley S.
[With Mom's help...] I used the Dressage Riders Journal to assess my strengths and weaknesses. I found that my cute factor is off the charts but I need to work a bit more in listening to what my instructor says and talking less.
Next summer when I start taking lessons with Miss Emilie we can record my progress in glittery pink crayon.
I also may allow her to make some suggestions for things I can improve on.
