Carl Hester … the rider, the coach, the innovator!

Carl Hester

Australian dressage fans were treated to a very special evening at Werribee Park on Saturday 5th November 2016.

Carl Hester’s Australian visit came at a time that sees him on top of his game having just achieved a personal best score of 85% riding Nip Tuck (Barney) on the 29th October in Lyon, France.

Carl’s results have been on an upward trajectory since he began riding in his own PDS Carl Hester dressage saddle. Carl has collaborated with leading dressage saddle specialists PDS, and together they have produced a range of beautifully crafted performance saddles incorporating Carl’s own design features to aid and facilitate a harmonious partnership with the horse and help riders to sit correctly using tactful and imperceptible aids, enabling the horse to work with the ease and harmony that is so highly prized in the modern era of dressage.

Masterclass attendees noted that Carl assessed the strengths and weaknesses of all horses taking part to ensure that the lessons were relevant, achievable and productive.  Carl imparted much knowledge through his gift for ‘word pictures” and it is acknowledged that he got the best from each and every combination.
