The Dressage Connection

Welcome to The Dressage Connection, where we are demystifying dressage training so your connection with your horse can flourish & you can start making sustainable momentum in your riding.

Beth Carter is an Australian Dressage Trainer, Coach & the human behind BC Performance Horses with a passion for making correct dressage training understandable & accessible for every horse & rider.

Through this podcast Beth will explore her beliefs that every horse benefits from dressage training & that it is possible to develop a horse that produces high quality work that scores well while having an epic connection with your horse.

Get ready to build foundations that will support you through the levels, own your role as your horses trainer & fall back in love with riding your horse.

So put your foot in the stirrup & letโ€™s build that dressage connection.
