All undersaddle and in hand training of young horses at RRWS is done by Linda Shore. All work is done to ensure minimum stress to the horses with the maximum effect achieved through quiet consistant training. At RRWS we following the techniques used by such renouned trainers as Kyra Kyrkland, Anky Van Grunsven and Harry Boldt to produce horses which are light, energetic and a joy to ride and train.

Linda's speciality in her dressage training is the ability to teach her horses to listen and work to whisper quiet aids and work with a rein contact which is  nothing more than the weight of the rein.  Dressage riding should enhance the horse's natural ability and looks rather than detract from it which sometimes happens when you have a  rider doing far too much and who has aids which are much too harsh. 

Linda trains her horses to work totally over their back giving their all without any tension through the body and to work through the bridle rather than stopping at the bridle as many horses do.  This is really only possible when horse and rider are totally in tune with each other and both in perfect harmony and balance. 

This type of training can enhance the performance of horses in many diciplines and Linda now has students from diciplines such as campdrafting who have recognised the benefits in learning more about the basics of dressage training for both themselves and their horses. 

During 2001 and 2002 Linda was fortunate enough to be able to receive lessons with Kyra Kyrkland (pictured) and Harry Boldt to assist with the training of RR Copenhagen and the techniques learnt in these lessons have been further utilised in the training of all our other young horses.

In 2007 we will be conducted several clinics with champion young dressage horse rider, Brett Parbery. Several clinics were conducted in 2006 and were a huge success. Riders/spectators interested in attending these clinics should contact Linda Shore for more details.
