The Three Basic Principles
For how long do I keep access to the training?
You get unlimited access!
Because you’ll never finish training as a dressage rider, you remain access to all training material of ‘The Three Basic Princples’. This includes updates, and you may continue to participate in the Live Q&As.
Is the price a subscription ?
No, you only pay once and then you have unlimited access. So you are not committed to anything.
At what level should I ride?
This training is suitable for riders from any level! It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or a Grand Prix rider, every horse will benefit from this work. We also have members who train young horses, and members that don’t own a horse and enjoy riding at a school.
We believe this training can be enjoyed by every dressage rider. This knowledge is fundamental if you aim to achieve the highest level in a friendly manner.
Does this also work for my horse?
Rien van der Schaft has been training horses for 45 years and never encountered a horse that didn’t benefit from the training. It respects the way in which horses learn, and has been developed to keep your horse healthy and fit for the long run.
Some horses will show a lot of talent for certain exercises, others might need more time to develop. However, every horse deserves to be ridden in a nice way.
