In her video series<\/a> on EQUESTRIAN+<\/a>, FEI trainer Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel<\/a> reviews the training scale. After reviewing rhythm and tempo<\/a> as well as relaxation and connection<\/a>, von Neumann-Cosel touches on the next step of the training scale: impulsion. She looks at impulsion from both the horse\u2019s and rider\u2019s points of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In order to enhance the horse\u2019s beauty and actually get to what dressage is, which is like a dance, we need to see if we can get more impulsion and more engagement.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If you have a horse that knows the first three parts of the training scale<\/strong>, they will be open to add in the scope to get more cadence and more impulsion.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
