Kate Butling Dressage

Kate Butling Dressage Offering basic to advanced training on the flat for ALL horses and riders. Taking away the mystery I love to teach. This is a challenge I love!

Discovering all about each new horse or rider combination, working out what clicks for them and watching their progression gives me a high! For the Riders:
My mission is to provide an educational atmosphere where every rider leaves every lesson with a positive feeling and where all questions are welcomed. To increase the understanding of how to achieve the next goal or why the ride didn't go as p

lanned! To help improve the foundations of correct riding and show that this is the way to create a relaxed and happy rider and horse! To help riders realise that there is no magic involved in horse training, just method and consistency and praise - for the horse and rider!! With education, consolidation and knowledge we open the doors to a world of being able to really enjoy our riding. For the Horses:
Every horse is different and wonderful in their own way. We all love our horses and put their every need first. Our goal as riders is to be able to inform the horse exactly what we want, in a way which they understand and and can perform. Keeping everything simple, systematic and calm is the best way I have found to create happy, relaxed athletes from the very baby stages to the top competitors in every discipline, in the stable, as well as while riding. Working with the basics of the scales of training and then adapting the type of work and the amount of time spent in exercise changes for every horse. If the groundwork of the foundations are there, the probability that you will have a sound horse for many years to come is increased 100%.

We pass this window regularly but today was the first time he walked up to it and really noticed the "other horse" 😂🥰

Love this guy, so cute 😍 ❤️

(And he'd done a pretty good Half-pass workout before this too 😁😉)

A second really super, productive lesson for Naboo and me today with .
The goal is to have fun 😁, strengthen and open Naboos back.
As well as the physical benefits mentally this is great for both of us 🥰

Patience is the biggest watch-word with some horses.
Armas has a lot of power and energy, some natural, some anxiety from an unknown past.
We have spent a lot of time getting him to trust that he can move and balance and bend without being held tight all the time. Sometimes it's good, sometimes we struggle.
Today was a good day. And we ended up being able to trot and walk in a long rein to finish.
That sounds like a very simple thing. But for Armas this simple task can sometimes be overwhelming.
Patience. Small steps. Little wins.
Today was a good day 🥰

Saturday is always a long rein stretching day for us. Snow didn't stop us (much 😁) !
Naboo finds the snow fascinating but stays in a beautiful walk rhythm the whole way around our trail on a long rein.

This weekend was a big milestone for us at Kate Butling Dressage! ✨️
Naboo du Ritz won the Croatian Young Horse Championships for 7 year old horses!! 🐴 🥇🏆✨️🎉
It was his first stay away from home, first vet check, first plastic stable experience. He took it all in, relaxed and behaved immaculately. This to me is more important than anything else. ♥️🐴
He improved in rideablity through the weekend ending on a solid 68% with over 71% for quality.
There is so much to work on to get it how I would be really happy with, but I'm a perfectionist!
So for now I'm celebrating the Win!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
