New online course can rev-up dressage scores

No matter how good you are now, you can always add ways to Rev-up Your Dressage Scores.

Tammy Fifer, www.horsecoursesonline.com dressage instructor, gets down to the nitty gritty with you about what judges are looking for, how they score, problems that cost you points and how you can correct them. Then she gives you tips from some of the “tops” in the field on how to “rev-up” those scores.

Students work one-on-one with Fifer by e-mail, getting answers to questions and help on how to tackle individual problems that crop up from seemingly nowhere. Five lessons in the course each have quizzes and assignments to help the students master the techniques for improvement.

Students can take the course and be awarded a “Certificate of Achievement” or participate in the www.horsecoursesonline.com Professional Certificate program or the Bachelor of Science in Equine Studies degree program.

Rev-up Your Dressage Scores lessons include: What Judges Want to See; Placement in the Ring; “How-to” of Straightness; Movement of the Horse; Common Faults and Fixes, Plus Top Rider Tips.

Students can start the course at anytime, work at their own pace, and there are no completion deadlines. Fifer will critique videos sent in by students (http://www.horsecoursesonline.com/videos/forehand_turn.html) and explain how to improve the exercise. www.horsecoursesonline.com offers 28 equine study courses and is the world’s leading provider of online equine curriculum for colleges and universities.
