Hi

My sister is currently living in Holland and has taken back the reins. She has improved well at a local riding school that do dressage competitions etc on the school horses but is really struggling with the language barrier. She understands the basic jist of things but feels she is missing out on the finer points of the instruction. I really think she'd benefit from some dressage schoolmaster lessons but taught in English. She is based in Zoetermeer (between the Hague and Rotterdam). I would class her as a competant novice, walk, trot, canter, good position, light hands and pops a small fence. She has done basic lateral work but this is where the Dutch/english problem arises. Any suggestions? (She doesn't have her own horse, just to clarify)

Thanks
 
If she is planning on staying in holland I would say she just needs to keep up with the lessons in Dutch... I struggled to start with in lessons in German, but it was a good way to support learning the language... I did alot of guessing to start with...and was hard work concentrating, but I got there in the end
