When it comes to riding, Abi has a systematic “building blocks” approach and is devoted to the highest standard of horsemanship and integrity in the contemporary equestrian world. She believes in the cornerstones of dressage and focuses on correct basics, balance and straightness, responsiveness to the aids, elastic gaits, and harmonious communication between horse and rider.
