REDHA GHARSA

Advanced In Hand Work
Classical long lining is an art that few trainers utilize in today's dressage world but it is one of the most effective ways to teach horses about self carriage and balance without the weight of a rider.
​
For 10 years, Redha perfected these skills as the Head Rider of the Lipizzaner Show and trained several Lipizzaner stallions how to performed airs above the ground maneuvers in the shows. The young stallion pictured to the left with Redha received high praise for his ideal capriole style from the top trainer at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria.
Later Redha started every young Andalusian stallion at Medieval Times in the long reins and taught many coworkers and students the precise techniques it takes to perfect movements like piaffe, passage, half pass, levade and a bow from the ground.

Redha had the pleasure of working with this beautiful breed for the last 10 years at Medieval Times in Buena Park California. "I love the Andalusian for their impeccable trainability and regal personalities. Even as stallions, these horses are an amateur's dream in the dressage world. I was blessed to be able to work with such nice young horses at Medieval Times"
