The Conrad Schumacher
Dressage System DVD

Riding at your optimum capacity will require you to strengthen your physical and mental fitness.

This DVD will show you how!

Have you experienced the situation where you cannot achieve your goals in the show ring?

How can things that go so well at home, go so wrong during a competition? As riders, we tend to blame our horses, the footing, the weather, the judges but in reality, it was lack of quality preparation and mental fitness which let us down in the end. In this DVD, Conrad will discuss the correct way to approach your preparation at home to optimize your result at the show.

Discover Conrad's 3 Prerequisites for a successful training foundation...

What are the three most important elements for dressage success? In this DVD, Conrad reviews the importance of the rider's seat and how to improve your position to enhance the horse's natural ability. His second Prerequisite is the correct neck position of your horse. He will demonstrate the correct neck position and how we can obtain and maintain this during our training. Finally, Conrad shows the importance of the correct giving of the aids in achieving your “feel” as a rider. This "feel", he maintains, is the foundation for mental toughness and success in the competition ring.

What does Quality Preparation mean to this world class trainer?

“In helping over 4000 horse and rider combinations over the past 30 years, I have discovered that the most important element of preparation is the use of effective exercises which I call Working Patterns.”

Conrad's Working Patterns are designed to enhance the basic work in a more challenging routine which helps the horse and rider to work at a higher technical level while improving their overall fitness and flexibility. “This quality preparation will ensure that you, the rider, are prepared mentally and physically for the challenge of whatever test you are riding.”

What is Mental Fitness for the Dressage Rider and how do you get it?

“I have always tried to focus on the rider's mental ability as well as their technical ability because these belong together. Whether you are bold, cautious, tense, or confident, will affect your preparation routine. In order to be truly mentally fit all dressage rider types must adjust their training routine in order to learn the correct “feel”. My training system helps you to develop this feel through correct application of the 3 Prerequisites and the Quality Preparation".

Prepare to Win!

Conrad's training concept has been developed for riders who want to be riding at their optimum performance level at a competition. “I have always felt that it is important to train riders how to win, not just to make them good riders at home! So, I focus on helping riders to develop their own and their horse's physical strength, which is directly linked to developing mental fitness - and mental fitness is the key to my training philosophy. For me training is a passion and on this DVD I want to train you how to Prepare to Win!"
