Dressage clinic with Arthur Kottas Heldenberg: April 6-8, 2009, at Appledore Farm.One of Europe's premier dressage instructors held a clinic at Appledore Farm on April 6-8, 2009. Despite Mud Season and inclement weather, five riders made their way to Appledore Farm. The general tenor was relaxed and cozy with the chilly weather keeping the horses cool. About 15 auditors watched Arthur work with the riders and horses each day. 

About the Clinician

Arthur Kottas Heldenberg joined the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria, in 1960 at the age of 15. He remained there for 42 years, rising through the cadre until he was made First Chief Rider in 1980, and thus becoming the youngest holder of this position in the school’s 400 year history. Since leaving the Spanish Riding School in 2002, Arthur has devoted his time to training and instructing riders and horses at all levels up to the Olympics. 

Arthur uses classical schooling methods, which emphasize the development of a strong bond of trust and respect between the rider and horse where the rider does not depend on the use of force to achieve the ease and beauty appropriate for riding dressage.

make no mistake, the Sony awards do not give any recognltion to quality; they have been created solely for
the purpose of Sony exposure - the awards tend to be given to those shows with most audience pull.
