MARK BUTLER FOUNDATION SERIES: NAILING THE NOVICE TEST

This is the fourth lesson in the Mark Butler Foundation Series, building on the previous lessons on aiding and rider position to introduce some of the basic movements found in Novice level tests. You'll practice the free walk, canter-trot-canter transition and counter-canter as well as exercises using the centreline, serpentines and 10m circles.

Your trainer for this lesson is Mark Butler, a former National Dressage Champion and dressage trainer.

The session is 19 minutes and 17 seconds in length, and is designed to be listened to whilst you are riding your horse. 

Important

Lessons are optimised for use in a 20m x 40m arena. You should ensure that you and your horse are warmed up before starting this lesson. Only listen to Sound Schooling audio lessons in a safe, enclosed area, and to your horse's (and your own) level of fitness.
