Training Philosophy

 

Dressage is made up of movements and exercises that should become a dance… a dance cannot be forced… or the beauty will be lost…” (George Theodorescu)- One must feel it!

A successful rider must have endless patience and passion for both the horse and the art of Dressage. Correct basics are an absolute before effective performance can be obtained and maintained.

While Trainer Melodye Sweetin uses as her basic foundation the German and French System, she emphasizes a greater softness in style and in her relationship to her mount. This is a characteristic instilled by George Theodorescu, who adapted it to the German style of Dressage Riding to better suit his own temperament. As a component of that philosophy, the welfare of the horse is always first and foremost. Trainer Sweetin has endless patience for both horse and rider… and her passion for Dressage is incredibly contagious.
