Classically Based Dressage
Natalie Mendelssohn
Classical Dressage Training — Harmony • Expression • Lightness • Partnership
I am an advanced dressage rider and coach with a strong focus on biomechanics, strength, welfare, and long term soundness in both horse and rider. Classical dressage with a modern approach to training. My approach centres on how the rider influences the horse, helping clients develop body awareness, improve their position, and create clearer more harmonious communication.- refining position, coordination, and awareness to create clearer, more effective communication.
Dressage is not just about results - it is about how you get there. With a welfare first approach and using correct classical scales of training to ensure long term soundness, I specialise in helping riders develop feel, understanding, and refine their influence to create a partnership where both horse and rider work with ease, balance and confidence.
