Arena GPS & Reitbahn Navi eBooks

The Arena GPS is a compilation of basic exercises with graphics and brief explanations that you can take with you into the arena in order to obtain ideas for training exercises. The old masters discovered early on that riding accurate arena patterns is the prerequisite for balance and straightness, which in turn are the prerequisites for accessing the haunches. Therefore, it has to form the beginning of any gymnastically useful work.

In combination with transitions and lateral movements the arena patterns are one of the most important tools the rider possesses in training the horse. We use round patterns such as circles, voltes, serpentines, and ovals, as well as angular patterns such as rectangles, squares, and triangles.

– More than 50 exercises

– Adaptable to any level of training

– Most of the exercises can be ridden in all three gaits

There are some exercises that you can ride at the walk with a training or 1st level horse, but if you ride them at the canter, you may need an FEI horse.

You can also disassemble the exercises and make new ones out of the component pieces.

“It’s a little like playing with legos –  your arena work becomes very creative this way.”

The Arena GPS 1.1 builds on the Arena GPS 1.0 and increases the level of difficulty. The exercises become more complex and more challenging for horse and rider. There are different types of exercises, all presented with graphics and short explanations. Exercises for testing specific abilities and skills, general suppling, targeted gymnastic development of individual muscle groups, preparing and/or improving dressage movements, improving the horse´s balance and body awareness.

The right selection of exercises improves the horse’s balance, straightness, suppleness, throughness, impulsion, and collection.

Das ReitbahnNavi ist eine Zusammenstellung von grundlegenden Übungen mit Grafiken und kurzen Erläuterungen, die Sie mit in die Reitbahn nehmen können, um sich Anregungen für das Training zu holen. Bereits die alten Meister entdeckten sehr frühzeitig, dass das präzise Reiten von Hufschlagfiguren die Grundlage des Gleichgewichts und der Geraderichtung und damit der Bearbeitung der Hinterhand darstellt und am Anfang jeder gymnastisch wirksamen Arbeit stehen muss. In Kombination mit Übergängen und Seitengängen sind die Hufschlagfiguren eines der wichtigsten Hilfsmittel die dem Reiter bei der Ausbildung seines Pferdes zur Verfügung stehen.

Wir verwenden dabei gebogene Linien wie Volten, Zirkel und Schlangenlinien, sowie Rechtecke, Quadrate, Dreiecke und Ovale.

– Über 50 Übungen
– Anpassbar an jeden Ausbildungsstand
– Die meisten Übungen können in allen drei Gangarten geritten werden

Es gibt Übungen, die man im Schritt mit einem E oder A Pferd reiten kann, aber wenn man sie im Galopp reitet, braucht man vielleicht bereits ein S Pferd.
Man kann die Übungen auch in ihre Bestandteile zerlegen und daraus neue Übungen zusammenstellen.

„Es ist ein wenig wie das Spielen mit Lego – die Reiterei wird dadurch äußerst kreativ!“

Das Arena GPS 1.1 baut auf dem Arena GPS 1.0 auf und erhöht den Schwierigkeitsgrad. Die Übungen werden komplexer und anspruchsvoller für Pferd und Reiter.

Die richtige Auswahl der Übungen verbessert die Balance, Geradrichtung, Geschmeidigkeit, Durchlässigkeit, Schwung und Versammlung des Pferdes. - Mehr als 55 Übungen - an jedes Trainingsniveau anpassbar - Die meisten Übungen können in allen drei Gangarten geritten werden. Es gibt einige Übungen, die Sie im Schritt mit einem noch wenig ausgebildeten Pferd können, aber wenn Sie sie im Galopp reiten, benötigen Sie möglicherweise ein FEI-Pferd. Sie können die Übungen auch zerlegen und aus den Einzelteilen neue zusammensetzen. "Es ist ein wenig wie das Spiel mit Legos - Ihre Bahnarbeit wird auf diese Weise sehr kreativ."

Ein eBook mit Übungen, um Ihr Pferd gymnastisch zu fördern: Version 1.2.

Das Reitbahnnavi 1.2 knüpft an Reitbahnnavi 1.0 & 1.1 an und enthält ebenfalls komplexere und schwierigere Übungen. Es gibt verschiedene Arten von Übungen, die alle mit Grafiken und kurzen Erklärungen versehen sind. Es sind Übungen, die spezielle Fertigkeiten testen und verbessern, Übungen, die das Pferd insgesamt geschmeidiger machen, solche, die gezielt bestimmte Muskelgruppen ansprechen, solche, die bestimmte Dressurlektionen vorbereiten oder verbessern und solche, die die Balance und das Körpergefühl des Pferdes verbessern.

Die richtige Auswahl der Übungen verbessert die Balance, Geraderichtung, Geschmeidigkeit, Durchlässigkeit, Schwung und Versammlung.

– Über 50 Übungen
– Die Übungen können an jeden Ausbildungsstand angepasst werden

Sie können die Übungen auch in ihre Bestandteile zerlegen und neue Übungen aus den Komponenten zusammenbauen.

„Es ist ein wenig wie Legobausteine – Ihre Arbeit in der Bahn wird dadurch sehr kreativ.“

Wir haben viele Anfragen von Reitbahn Navi Nutzern und Online Kurs Teilnehmern erhalten, die sich eine Ausgabe für Remonten bzw. noch nicht so weit fortgeschrittene Reiter und Pferde gewünscht haben, mit einfacheren Figuren und ohne höhere Lektionen. Daher haben wir nun die Remontenausgabe zusammengestellt. Die darin enthaltenen Übungen kann man mit den meisten Pferden bereits anfangen, nachdem sie ein paar Wochen ohne Longe auf dem Zirkel und der ganzen Bahn geritten werden können.
– über 50 Übungen– Anpassbar an jeden AusbildungsstandDie meisten Übungen können in allen drei Gangarten geritten werden
Einige der Übungen sind bereits in anderen Reitbahn Navi Ausgaben enthalten. Andere sind neu. Alle Übungen können mit jungen Pferden geritten werden. Sie können aber auch im Schwierigkeitsgrad an höher ausgebildete Pferde angepasst werden, indem man sie in höheren Gangarten reitet und Seitengänge mit einbaut. Ich weise an verschiedenen Stellen im Text auf diese Möglichkeiten hin.

Das Reitbahnnavi ist eine Sammlung von gymnastischen Übungen mit Grafiken und kurzen Erklärungen, die Sie mit in die Reitbahn nehmen können, um Anregungen für die Ausbildung Ihres Pferdes zu bekommen. Die alten Meister entdeckten schon früh, dass das präzise Reiten von Hufschlagfiguren die Voraussetzung für Gleichgewicht und Geraderichtung bildet, wodurch die Voraussetzung für den Zugang zu den Hanken geschaffen wird. Daher stellt es die Grundlage jeder sinnvollen Dressurarbeit dar.

Zusammen mit Übergängen und Seitengängen sind die Reitbahnfiguren eines der wichtigsten Hilfsmittel in der Pferdeausbildung, die dem Reiter zur Verfügung stehen. Wir verwenden sowohl gebogene Figuren wie Zirkel, Volten, Schlangenlinien und Ovale, als auch eckige Figuren wie Rechtecke, Quadrate und Dreiecke.

Since many riders and their horses find the canter rather challenging, we have decided to put together a canter special edition of the Arena GPS. It contains a mixture of previously unreleased, brand new exercises and a few exercises that are scattered throughout earlier Arena GPS editions that we have included here to make them easier to find.

We have sorted the exercises into three different chapters:

– Exercises to prepare and improve the canter depart
– Exercises that you can ride in the canter itself in order to improve the quality of the gait
– Exercises for practicing the counter canter

2. Stop/Down Transition/Shorten The Strides/Slow Down The Tempo
3. Turn
4. Bend
5. Sidestep
6. Reinback

Since many riders and their horses find the canter rather challenging, we have decided to put together a canter special edition of the Arena GPS. It contains a mixture of previously unreleased, brand new exercises and a few exercises that are scattered throughout earlier Arena GPS editions that we have included here to make them easier to find.

We have sorted the exercises into three different chapters:

– Exercises to prepare and improve the canter depart
– Exercises that you can ride in the canter itself in order to improve the quality of the gait
– Exercises for practicing the counter canter

The Arena GPS is a compilation of basic exercises with graphics and brief explanations that you can take with you into the arena in order to obtain ideas for training exercises. The old masters discovered early on that riding accurate arena patterns is the prerequisite for balance and straightness, which in turn are the prerequisites for accessing the haunches. Therefore, it has to form the beginning of any gymnastically useful work.

In combination with transitions and lateral movements the arena patterns are one of the most important tools the rider possesses in training the horse. We use round patterns such as circles, voltes, serpentines, and ovals, as well as angular patterns such as rectangles, squares, and triangles.

Each edition of the Arena GPS builds on the previous one with increasing level of difficulty. The exercises become more complex and more challenging for horse and rider. There are different types of exercises, all presented with graphics and short explanations. Exercises for testing specific abilities and skills, general suppling, targeted gymnastic development of individual muscle groups, preparing and/or improving dressage movements, improving the horse´s balance and body awareness.

The right selection of exercises improves the horse’s balance, straightness, suppleness, throughness, impulsion, and collection.

– Most of the exercises can be ridden in all three gaits

There are some exercises that you can ride at the walk with a training or 1st level horse, but if you ride them at the canter, you may need an FEI horse.

You can also disassemble the exercises and make new ones out of the component pieces.

An eBook of Gymnastic Exercises designed to practice the 6 Essentials.

There are 6 core essentials that comprise everything that we do in Dressage. Like raw ingredients that can be formulated differently to create entirely different meals, each of these 6 basic raw “ingredients” that we use in the dressage training can be combined to form every dressage movement and exercise that we ride. EVERY THING you do or ride in Dressage comes from the 6 essentials. Even the Olympic dressage tests don’t contain any additional elements besides these:

1. Forward/Up Transitions/Lengthen the stride
