TRAINING WITH KYRA KYRKLAND
Volume 6
Advanced Movements

Kyra Kyrklund is one of the most complete horsewomen of our time. Before concentrating on dressage, she was competing in both eventing and showjumping in her native Finland. Kyra has competed at five Olympic Games. Partnered by her unforgettable black stallion, Matador, she won a Silver Medal at the 1990 World Equestrian Games in Stockholm and the Volvo World Cup in Paris in 1991.

After seven years as chief dressage trainer at the Swedish National Stud at Flyinge, Kyra is now based in England from where she travels to do clinics and seminars around the world.

"Balance - the what, why and how" is the key to Kyra's logical training system. This series gives you the opportunity to appreciate and benefit from her clear and consistent training techniques. Each programme gives comprehensive guidelines to the "building blocks" of her effective "start, stop, turn" formula from the basic stages through to the most advanced levels of dressage training.

This system and philosophy has not only enabled Kyra to produce 14 international Grand Prix horses but also to train many riders in Olympic dressage, showjumping and eventing. She believes that the influence of correct basic level training gives the horse the confidence to perform consistently and successfully in any sphere.

Volume 6: Advanced Movements - Canter Movements

Flying changes are the topic of the sixth volume of the series.

Kyra shows you the answer to the interesting question "why do most horses make wonderful and natural flying changes when loose but have problems under saddle?"

She explains how, why and when to ask for a change; what to expect and what to do if something goes wrong or nothing happens at all! She starts with simple sequences through walk and builds up step by step to one tempi changes.

This fascinating programme should answer all your questions on the problems of changes of leg at the canter from the simple change through to the sequences of tempi changes.
