Virtual Dressage Lessons with Tressa Boulden

What you need

Technology most riders already have.

A phone or tablet

Propped where it can see the arena, or on a tripod.

Internet at the arena

A cell signal or barn Wi-Fi is enough.

Wireless earbuds

Bluetooth earbuds so you hear Tressa while you ride. The only other thing needed.

A Pivo, optional

A Pivo or similar tracking device is useful, but not necessary.

Virtual lessons are a great opportunity for the rider to receive support in their riding journey. With the proper set-up, no matter the distance, anyone can benefit from this learning modality. Riders can now benefit from Tressa's extensive background in classical equitation from the comfort of their own arena.

If you do not have access to the internet at your barn you can still learn from Tressa: look into her video assessments.

How it works

Three steps, then you ride.

I

Inquire

A short note about you, your horse and what you would like to work on. Tressa replies personally and you agree a time.

II

Set up your phone

Prop a phone or tablet where it can see the arena, or use a Pivo. Put in wireless earbuds.

III

Ride the lesson

Tressa watches live, sees what you are feeling, and tells you what to change as it happens. Take notes afterwards.

I never set out to take online lessons, but the quality of instruction I was looking for was not available in person. Tressa misses nothing, and is able to see nuances and explain exactly what I should be feeling in real time. I feel like she's in the arena with me even though she's states away.

What do I need for a virtual lesson?

A cell phone or tablet with access to the internet at your arena, and Bluetooth wireless earbuds so you can hear Tressa while you ride. Having a Pivo or similar device is useful, but it is not necessary.

What if I do not have internet at my barn?

You can still learn from Tressa through a video assessment. Video yourself working with your horse for up to thirty minutes, send it by email or Facebook Messenger, and Tressa will review it and go over her findings with you by phone.

Do I need a dressage horse?

No. Tressa works with horses of every breed, level and discipline, and has never put limits on a horse because of its build. Riders come from trail, western and baroque breeds, and off-the-track Thoroughbreds, as well as dressage.

How much is a virtual lesson?

Virtual lessons are $100 per lesson.

How do I book?

Contact Tressa through the inquiry form or by email. She likes to have a conversation before the first lesson, then you agree on a time and she sends the details.

To inquire about a virtual lesson

Tell Tressa about your horse.

A few lines is enough: where you are, what you ride, and what you are hoping to change. Include your time zone.
