It
takes time for the student to assimilate and apply his/her knowledge
when riding, and Flo always takes this into
account with every single student.
Flo
considers there is no secret in horsemanship and the technique
of riding, therefore she puts forth in giving explanations and
transferring her knowledge.
The
more students know about the horse's behavior and biomechanics,
the more they will be able to understand what they need to
do and how to recognize when this is done properly. She
encourages students to also broaden their knowledge through
readings; she recommends not only dressage books, but also more
general
horsemanship books.
