The A Matter of Trust series documents Walter Zettl’s approach to classical dressage training techniques. The series moves through the very basics of the gaits through to piaffe and passage. Herr Zettl’s message of maintaining a partnership with the horse at all levels of training is emphasized in all volumes.
Each training technique is demonstrated and supported with interviews with Walter, plus a detailed narrative combined with slow motion images. This makes the information shared as clear as possible without actually being in the ring with Herr Zettl!
The Extras Volume in the Boxed Set includes additional interviews with Herr Zettl and the complete rides where only a portion may have been shown in the earlier volumes. It even includes an absolutely fascinating section of Herr Zettl working with top reining champions demonstrating the universal application of dressage.
One of the few great teachers of classical dressage left today, Zettl is known throughout the world for his sympathetic approach to the training of horses. He believes a harmonious partnership built on trust between horse and rider is the basis for all good riding. His number one priority is the well-being of the horse.
