"E...D...U...C...A...T...I...O...N..." It's out there. Look for it.

It is almost impossible to learn dressage-based concepts without first knowing what the various terms mean, words and phrases like “engagement,” “on the aids,” “inside leg to outside rein,” “over the back and through.”

We don’t teach kids to read before they learn the alphabet, or to do math problems before they know the numbers. And yet all over the world there are riders and drivers diligently taking dressage lessons who couldn’t correctly define “engagement” if they would win a vacation to Cancun by doing so.

There is a word for the so often missing link.
E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N

So many riders don’t read. They don’t study. They hear these words and phrases, even in lessons, without taking the time or making the effort to actually figure out what they mean.

If we were told, “If you bring me a totlefrat, I will give you a million dollars,” the most logical first question would be---“What is a totlefrat?”

How can we learn it before we know what “it” is?

This study has certainly brought up many questions for me. How fair is it for us to ask our dogs to do agility when we don't have an easy way to test their vision?
