By using mirrors to correct your riding and working on your horse’s development, you will progress and develop competition movements that are natural to your horse to produce.
Using mirrors as a training aid for visual feedback is a tremendous advance in teaching when you don’t have a trainer, helping you to see, rather than feel, your positioning. Using mirrors also helps your horse to produce and develop amazing transition between dressage paces.
The instantaneous feedback you get from seeing your horse’s outline, your seat and application of the aids is like having a trainer watching your every move — without the hourly rate!
