Michael Pineo Dressage

This article is self explanatory and intended for anyone interested in dressage.

There is no “how” in this article, mostly “why” and “what” at a high level. I encourage further reading of the books in the bibliography through the eyes of a beginner AND an expert seeking surprise. Classical dressage is a field of study that has evolved historically and should continue to evolve in its practices based the principals of the horse’s play/courtship instincts.

Look forward to seeing this mare back in Wellington!
Thanks to Nico and Caroline for helping to make this happen

Belgian Grand Prix rider Nico Nyssen said goodbye to his international Grand Prix ride Geneva. The Dutch warmblood mare has been sold to American dressage rider Avery Hogan.

Geneva is our second GP horse in Europe with Nico. She was a joy to train. Wonderful to see her success on that side of the pond, too!
