Introduction This blog is meant to share the training notes I jot down after every ride in a hardcover journal that sits in my truck. This year, I'm honored to receive a Carol Lavell Gifted Fund grant to train for a week. Part of my duty as a grant recipient is to share the outcome of my training experience, so I thought I would invite readers to take the journey with me. "Mind Body Dressage" comes from my own sense that I'm training myself in two distinct ways: Mentally and physically. The deeper I get into dressage theory and practice, the more connected and interdependent the two become.
