Behind the scenes season 1

Come with us as we get to know Vanessa Way and Jody Hartstone

These two are household names within the dressage world here in New Zealand and we wanted to begin our journey of DHT with them.

Both bringing their unique kiwi style to dressage training and helping to break things down into a easy to understand way, so we at home can apply it to our riding.

I really did learn so much by spending time with these two and I really hope you appreciate all that they have shared with us on their own individual programs.

For now though, I hope you enjoy a sneak peak behind the scenes and be sure to check out each of their programs and watch the first video for free.

Dressage horse training online is all about learning from the best. Providing you with the tools you can use from those that are out their do it and doing it well.

Each trainer brings their own unique way of breaking things down and helping to apply it to your own riding at home.

Here is a wee summary of each of the trainers we have started with for season one and we will be adding more as time goes on. Enjoy.
