Dr. Cesar Parra and his team provide full-service training based
on the Classical German Training Methods. Full-service has two components:
|
|
|
|
The
Classical German Training Methods are those taught by the old German
Masters and perfected by some modern-day riders. These Methods are
based on the Training Scale: Relaxation, Rhythm, Contact, Impulsion,
Straightness, Collection. (Losgelassenheit, Takt, Anlehnung, Schwung,
Geraderichtung, Versammlung)
|
|
Every
ride should start at the bottom of the scale, and master each step
consecutively. For instance, never try for Impulsion when you do
not have Contact. This Training Scale is the foundation of the Classical
German System and of Dr. Parra’s training philosophy.
