Episode 8 – Mental training rider
In this lesson, I am going to talk about the mental development of the rider. It is very important that you get to know yourself well, that you know what your pitfalls are and how you deal with stress. I will share with you how I copied Anky van Grunsven's way of preparing for a competition, but that did not suit me at all. I had to discover what works for me and learned that it is different for everyone.
ENG - Dressage | Imke Schellekens-Bartels
Episode 1 – Imke Schellekens-Bartels
In this first episode I will tell you about my childhood, my close relationship with my family and our Academy Bartels family business. I will let you in on the special horses in my life and what they mean to me and will share my ambitions and future plans. You will also learn what I'm going to teach you in my masterclass.
Episode 2 – Learning theory of horses
As a rider it is important to know how a horse learns. That is why in this episode we will discuss the learning theory of horses. In our training system we use the principle of "action-pressure-reaction-reward".
Episode 3 – Posture and seat
In this episode I will tell you what you can do to develop good posture and seat. We will work with riders Lars and Jill. Using the flexchair, Saskia Heijkant explains what they can physically work on in horseriding, while they get exercises from fitness instructor Bouke van Spreeuwel.
