105 RIDE VERBATIM: The 4 NATURAL AIDS
What you'll learn

Requirements
- Students must be as invested, attentive, logical, and mentally organized as a great FEI GP horse is.
Description
The 4 natural aids are our means of transmitting information to the horse for lines-of-travel, gaits, shaping, displacing, and adjusting/rating.
These aids are: the VOICE; the SEAT and its’ WEIGHT; the LEG; and the HAND.
The natural aids are NOT vague guidelines. They are DEFINITE and PRECISE. They do not vary. These must be made uniform and deliberate because they form a language that is for all horses. If you're not training the Natural Aids verbatim, there's nothing natural about your riding.
In a well-trained, a finished horse, these 4 Natural Aids form a literal language: Equitation. This language is delivered by a rider whose position is plumb, matched on each side, and elastic.
Training is teaching this equitation language by the Law of Association of Sensations and calibrating the rider’s 4 Natural Aids, which are the CAUSE to the horse’s understanding response, which is the EFFECT.
Don't be illiterate! Study, practice, and master the 4 Natural Aids.

FACULTY:
1) Jane Frizzell has been called "an F.E.I. rider's secret weapon" and is known as a trainer's trainer. She has been riding for 50 years; 32 years as a professional. She started the original SCHOOLMASTERS' ACADEMY in 1994. RideVerbatim is her new venture in 2020.
Jane's own thorough education was overseen by un-compromising masters: the late Major Anders Lindgren, the late Dietrich von Hopfgarten, and the late João Oliveira. The first half of her career was fully supervised and spent on FEI horses whose foundations were rock, not sand— horses trained by geniuses like Rehbein, Klimke, Hinneman, and Mikolka.
2) Soñador XVIII demonstrates the textbooks and FEI requirements to the letter in the RLC Video Series. His education was made by the late Georg Theodorescu.
