Conrad Schumacher’s Dressage System: Prepare to Win Vol 1

H&H reviews Conrad Schumacher’s Dressage System: Prepare to Win Vol 1 on DVD

SOMEONE’S gone to town putting this DVD together, which is entertaining, even if it is unnecessary.

Herr Schumacher appears waltzing towards the opening credits through a field of flowers looking suitably jovial, before stroking horses’ noses in slow motion.

He introduces his system, but a voiceover explains the rest. I wanted to hear more from Schumacher.

His system is clear — you need balance, feel and the horse’s neck correct before you start, and some good tips are given, but I was left asking “how?”

Don’t be put off though. The DVD moves on to provide excellent exercises riders can replicate in their own manège.
