When people turn on this website, we do not want them to feel overwhelmed by the number of steps and advanced or elite moves takes.
It can be stressful and can seem scary or intimidating.

This section is going to talk about breaking down moves.

When you really think about it, every dressage move comes back to...

CURL
CUT
COMB
KEYHOLE
SLANT

Once you know these 4 moves, you can pretty much do any dressage move.
Within TRR, we don't value walking dictionaries.
It is never expected that you memorize our dictionary, it's long, and quite frankly, no one has that much extra brain space.

To us, the title 'advanced/ elite' refers to how well you understand the fundamentals.

It is kind of backward, but if you have an immense understanding of our method, and know those 5 moves, you can do pretty much anything in our dictionary.

Let's take the advanced move clover.

Clover is 4 keyholes in a left, right, right, left pattern.

Clover has just one single move being repeated, but the gaps and alignment you must keep throughout it are what make it advanced.

There is a lot within dressage culture talking about how memorizing moves is important, and again, we disagree.
You should always feel comfortable putting a '.' in the chat with your commander, and as long as you know the 5 fundamental moves, they can explain pretty much anything.

The most elite moves in our dictionary like Neptune or Rose can all be broken down into 5 moves.

A waterfall is odd/ even belting
A belt is a curl over at the wall
A curl over is half a curl
A curl is a small circle.

And if you are ever confused about one of the bases for a move, use our site search feature in a pinch!

We hope the practices of our method can eventually begin to think in this 'breaking down' ideology.
