Riding in Your Mind's Eye 1. Getting Started DVD DVD by Jane Savoie Now on DVD, Jane Savoie shows how " riding in your mind's eye" will help you reach your personal beest. She reveals the secret that elite athletes have known for years- the power of visualization to affect performance. Each segment of the program contains a brief description of a movement and then breaks down the aids in a simple-to-understand way: this is followed by a "perfect" practice section where you're left to quietly absorb the "perfect" pictures. By watching these demonstrations over and over, and replaying them in you mind's eye on a reular basis, you will improve your riding skills even when you're note on your horse! In 2: FIRST LEVEL, Janes covers the movements and exercises required of the First Level horsek including: 10-meter circles in the trot; 15-meter circles in the canter; trot serpentines; taking the reins out of your hands; lengthenings; leg yielding; changes of lead through the trot; counter canter.

This review is from: Riding in Your Mind's Eye 2: First Level (DVD)

This video has been really helpful to me. The riders and horses are of very good quality, with the riders demonstrating independent seats and textbook position. It is not a "how to teach your horse to do this" video. It is incredibly effective, though, in its true intent: a demonstration of how the movements in the tests should look and a guide to help the rider ride them effectively. I wish all of the training level movements were on the 1st video, but you have to get the 2nd video (this one) for the stretch down circle and the loop from training 4. As an amateur trying to head for rated dressage, I watch this video frequently prior to my ride. It's like having my instructor here all the time. Incredibly useful for those who keep horses at home and not in a full-time professional setting. My only request: make them longer and separate the movements into "tracks" so you could skip to what you were working on that day (like a scene selection). That would be quite handy!
