I'm going to post messages (see comments) from my coaching, so you all can see some of what goes on behind the scenes, and the reason and logic as to why this training works. Because Mellissa always asks🤣 Most trainers won't share this with you.
Because 1. It could make you more competitive for life when competing against them. 2. It risks you laying them off because they gave away the methods that make you dependant on them.

Disclaimer: some trainers don't even know this.

You still need eye, feel and timing to be effective, efficient and safe for both you and the horse, but having the secrets put you way ahead of the game!

The session starts in messenger with a message, while drinking coffee, or doing whatever. Once she had all the instructions and the why, she puts it away till she is ready later to start. Once ready pulls the phone out, reviews messages, then begins.

Fix fear, fix tension, fix insecurity. Create confidence, create trust.
Then you have a working partner.
The little stuff are all just symptoms of the bigger issue.

Yes posted three times, it's that important! Each post has a different intro, equally important.

"Take a minute to watch this - the problem isn't unique to dressage. Watch HUS or western pleasure horses going around the pen, and most of them are dragging around their bodies on the forehand as well. Then we wonder why they're broken down by 6 or 8 years old. It's a long game, but my goal is to develop our young horses to move correctly for long-term soundness. Starting in long-lines as yearlings and 2-yr olds helps reinforce healthy movement patterns and allows the young horses to find their balance and posture without interference. Under the guidance of The Winning Way and Glenna Paulman, I can't believe the results we're seeing! I'm so excited for the future of our three young fillies (Romie, Summer, and Doris) - STAY TUNED!!"

"I WANT TO KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS! - My friend and mentor Glenna Paulman sent me this clip this morning. (Take a minute to watch it) - the gist is that we're so focused on dramatic movements that we neglect CORRECT development. Happens in pleasure every bit as much as dressage. I've been experimenting with classical dressage lessons the last 6 months or so, and my fantastic trainer Shaunna Dunlap puts up with my musings! I have a theory that developing my HUS and western pleasure horses in classical dressage, THEN finishing them for their discipline will build correct movement (from behind and over the back) and promote long-term soundness. There are no short cuts to correctly developing a horse. In the modern age of immediate gratification and dopamine addiction, it's a difficult sell to take YEARS to develop correct movement. But I remain hopeful. Also Chloe loves it... so there's that positive reinforcement on a daily basis.
Thanks to The Winning Way and White Winds Farm Equestrian Center!"

Thanks for sharing this valuable information! The work is so worth it! Now if we can get the industries to recognize it's value. We invest so much time and money into our animals. It's a big win when you can help your animal last much longer. More time, more enjoyment.

When you go to a local show to take the young ones to see the sights and they act so good, you decide to enter to support your local club and horse community. It's a win win!

Unpopular opinion, and yet so profound. It's not necessary if your training and relationship is there.
