RDPR 163 - Position

CR: 1
The Position course will cover the four fundamentals of a good position: a) security of the rider, b) unity between the rider and the horse, c) non-abuse of the horse, and d) effective and efficient use of the aids. Emphasis will be placed on the rider’s correct design and weight distribution at the walk, trot, canter, and over cavaletti. Basic groundwork, grooming and tacking of the horse is reviewed. An introduction to trail riding/hacking may be covered. IV.3
