NL Stables training arrangements

Groundwork:
Rodrigo’s groundwork focuses on gymnastic exercises and straightness, helping horses develop correct posture and balance so they can work more easily in connection and collection under saddle.
The aim is not to teach ‘tricks’ like piaffe or passage on cue, but to build a horse that uses its body correctly to support its dressage training.

“For me, groundwork and dressage are very closely connected.” — Rodrigo
On location:

• Groundworktraining can be arranged on location, one day every two weeks.
• Minimum of 4 horses per day, Maximum 10 horses.

Dressage lessons:
Rodrigo trained at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art in Jerez (Spain) under Rafael Soto.
His experience extends to the highest level, from working at the renowned Heilan Horse Complex in China to collaborating with Imke and Tineke Bartels at Academy Bartels in the Netherlands.

You can book dressage lessons with Rodrigo up to Grand Prix level, either at our stable in Vinkeveen or at your own location.

Clinics:
Would you like to organise a groundwork or dressage clinic? That’s also possible.

Groundwork clinic: Minimum 4, maximum 10 combinations.

• We recommend a series of 3 sessions spread over several weeks, so that horse and rider can benefit fully and Rodrigo can monitor progress.
• Dressage clinic: Can be a single-day or multi-day programme, by arrangement.

Training days:
Would you like to stay at our stable with your horse for several days of intensive training? That’s possible too!
During these training days, your horse stays with us, receives full daily care, spends several hours in a safe paddock and is included in our stable routine.

This allows you to fully focus on your training, without having to worry about the daily care.

Available for a weekend, a week or a month, or longer by arrangement.

Full training:
It is also possible to place your horse in full training at NL Stables.
Your horse will be fully trained and cared for by our team for a period that fits your goals and planning.
Competition coaching or off-site training is possible, everything can be arranged in consultation.
