The cognitive, bottom up process of training a dressage horse begins with first tier basics. They are: Go, Stop, Turn-in, Move out, and Soften. Although these concepts are hidden deep within the language, they are at the core of everything in dressage. We build from these to create all of the figures, movements, and qualities we want in our horses. These basics are comprehensible, attainable, and immediate. You don't have to experience them on advanced school masters, you can achieve each of these on your horse today or in the next several days. As you do, your horse will soon understand the first tier basics and become responsive to your aids for them. Then, you will be able to make progress - until then, you won't. Either you'll be stuck at the lowest levels trying to ride round circles forever, or, you'll end up forcing horses to perform in a way that makes them stiff, sore, and ultimately lame. It is this black and white, this straight forward, this simple.
