A new approach to dressage

Hi, I’m Bart Hartogsveld, a classical dressage instructor who is passionate about training horses softly, logically, and with genuine kindness. I’m convinced that high level dressage is possible regardless of the tack we use, and that is why I decided to only ride on a neckrope.

The horse always comes first

When I started out, I thought I had to choose: focus on physical development, or focus on how my horse actually felt. But years of high-school classical riding both in neckrope and bitless, and teaching many students around the world to do the same, showed me just how achievable and fun it can be.
