classical dressage

Hello everyone,
I have a question for you'll. Over the past few months I have been reading a lot about the art of true classical dressage; no tugging, no pulling, no forcing, no auxiliary reins, etc.
I am now completely convinced that this is the way to go as I've seen such improvement in my horse's way of going and attitude since I've started practising the exercises of Nuno Oliveira.
I am looking for a coach in Southern Ontario-Stouffville area, who has this knowledge and can help my friend and I with this type of training.
Thank you all.

Don't know if this place is anywhere near you, but if not, they may be able to put you in touch with someone closer by:

One of my favourite Classical sites is that founded by Sylvia Loch, based in the UK but open to all (you may like to check it out):

Silvia Loch is my favourite too!

She is coming over the ocean this year, in September she'll be near Calgary and early October in Michigan. We are trying to get her to the Ottawa area, either before, in between or after those comittements.

I love her book and would really enjoy riding with her.

Take care,
Susanne
