BECOMING A STUDENT OF THE BAROQUE EQUESTRIAN ACADEMY

So what are the advantages to becoming a distance learning student of the Academy of Baroque and Academic Equitation? It has been said that the best moments a rider has with their horse occur in the privacy of their own arena. How often do you go for a lesson and your not relaxed, perhaps you are yelled at by an abusive teacher, you become stiff, your horse mimics you and all goes down hill from there?

As a distance learning student of the Academy of Baroque and Academic Equitation you will receive special lessons you can watch and listen to over and over. In your own arena with your horse on the day and hour YOU choose you can put these lessons into practice. You will be admitted to a student-only group on the internet where you can ask questions on that material and receive personal answers. You then have the option to make a video of you and your horse performing the material you have purchased and get an in-depth evaluation with suggestions directly from Master Instructor William Sanders. No travel, your own schedule, at your own pace and learning directly from the Master Instructor Sanders, not his helpers or other students of his. The material is progressive and one

must buy the material in order and test in order.

As you progress you will be able to earn rank in the Academy. You will start of as:

1. Apprentice. After passing the first test you progress to:
2. Student of the Baroque and Academic Equitation Principles. The next level will be:
3. Apprentice Instructor and finally you can earn the title of:
4. Instructor of the Baroque and Academic Principles of Equitation.

Along the way we will offer distance competitions of various kinds that adhere to our philosophy, training and riding methods. If you wish to compete, you will be allowed to submit a video of you and your horse performing at your best, the required test. After the closing date all who sent in a video will be judged and awards will be given to first, second, and third places. The results will be placed on our web site. All you need to do to start is register, purchase Master Instructor William Sander's book Baroque and Academic Training Concepts and the first DVD on Jaw Flexions. Photos of students below.
