The Horse Magazine At the recent Global Dressage in Denmark, Andrew McLean presented a paper on the need for changes to make dressage judging more objective. It’s a topic that has been on his mind for some years now and he has been working away in developing these ideas. Andrew pointed out that: “Unlike…
The interesting thing about Andrew McLean’s approach to training horses is that his thinking is a work in progress.
