GONE TO GROUND FARM specializes in developing an integrated, deep dressage seat. Feedback regarding feel teaches the student to truly know what the seat bones are doing as well as where the horse is beneath the rider; this is the teaching method. After all, riding is all feel. Exercises for core and balance are integrated into each lesson. Lunge lessons are routine, allowing the rider time to focus on one item at a time. GTG students are stretched tall, lengthened long, steadied in core and centered over their seatbones; they are in the ribbons when showing. There is boarding, trailer-ins, covered arena and lots of comaraderie.
