Arena mirrors bring new dimension to dressage training
Attention to detail is everything in the dressage arena – now Mirrors for Training take this to the next level.
Staffordshire based Mirrors for Training, are passionate about training horses to display their elegance, and want to highlight the benefits of using mirrors for equine training.
Just like professional dancers - who rely on studio mirrors to monitor their movements - using strategically placed mirrors in an equine arena allows rider’s to monitor their horse’s movements and improve their own skills as a rider.
Through observation and self-correction, riders learn to match how good technique appears in the mirrors to how it feels in the saddle, boosting confidence in the arena. Most importantly, inaccuracies in posture and performance are identified in real time, allowing you to make changes immediately before they become habitual.
Arena mirrors are a great training aid and an essential item for anyone competing - as they allow you to see what the judge sees.
What’s more, Mirrors for Training has developed a unique ‘all weather’ arena mirror which is supplied ready to install.
Mirrors for Training have gained a strong following in the industry, having been installed by a number of major equestrian centres, including Hartpury, Dutchy, Asham Bryan, Brooksby Melton College, Haldow, and Queen Ethelburgs.
As a result, these arena mirrors have had a life-changing effect on thousands of professional riders.
“Our new arena mirrors have added another dimension to our training.” - says renowned international show jumper Ellen Whitaker.
“They give me an immediate view of both mine and the horse’s posture, which allows me to work on specific areas, making sure all our training time is used as effectively as possible.” Ellen adds.
