Structure and System... you've been hearing these words a lot in the program! In this module you'll learn how to structure a well-rounded training plan for your horse that includes Brett's essential different types of training days, and you'll watch examples of how to structure each session as well as an effective warm up that'll take you from everyday training to competition day.

This week we dive into the first of the core training modules which is all about the posture/frame. You'll learn how to evaluate and train to your particular type of horse, as well as the importance of adjustability and the role posture plays in dressage, not just for competition but as a key component of the actual training.

This week we'll cover the vital foundation of straightness, we'll discuss how most riders are using confusing turning aids, and take all that learning into creating lateral work with accuracy and expression.

Pace Control is where the magic happens, where our knowledge and practice over time can make our dancing partners come to life. You'll do a deep dive into the half halt and discuss finesse of application and timing of your aids. This module is so meaty that we spread it out over two weeks including a 'gap week' without a live seminar so you can catch up and consolidate the learning so far.

This week we take all the core training concepts and apply them in ore detail to the movements, breaking down example movements and giving you the ability to be able to troubleshoot in your own training at home.

The topic that underpins all the other modules! For every bit of talent your horse possesses in the dressage arena, your effectiveness as a rider counts ten times more. In these lessons we explore position, health and fitness, and mental strength all in pursuit of self-development to be the best riders for our horses.

In this final week we look at taking the Breakthrough training and applying it in the competition arena.

Dressage Breakthrough is designed for competition dressage riders of all levels. Riders take part in break-out sessions grouped to their level.

Around 20% of our riders are at FEI levels, 40% at the two top National levels, and 40% at the first 3-4 levels.

Your willingness to learn and be the best you can for your horse is far more important than the level at which you ride.

Smart riders know that all high level issues relate back to foundational training concepts, and that's what this program does. We strip back everything into the core ingredients, and then build it back up again. 

You'll be invited to join a live Q&A session most months, covering US and Aus/NZ timezones.

We're currently putting together the live session schedule for the remainder of 2024. Please contact us via the chat button on the bottom right if this is of particular importance to you.

Yes! Our riders are mostly Australian, with a healthy bunch of New Zealanders, and a sprinkling of US-based and European-based riders. Most of the live seminars run at around 8-10am UK time.

It's perfectly fine with us and with Dressage Breakthrough you get lifetime access so you can go back through the course when you're back in the saddle to practice everything.

We offer a full money-back guarantee for 7-days from your enrolment. That'll give you enough time to try out the program and see if it's the right fit for you.

As a Dressage Breakthrough student you'll enjoy lifetime access to the program. That means for the life of the program, you'll have full access.

If/when we decide to retire the program in the future, you'll be provided all the learning materials to keep and refer to as you like.
