PayPal for instructors
I use PayPal all the time its a great way for instructors and trainers to take credit cards for payment. Also great for sending money by e-mail its very convenient. It also has a debit/credit card available.
PayPal has grown to 50 million accounts worldwide since it started in 1998. It was purchased by online auction house eBay Inc., which bought it in 2002.

Kinesiology
I am using applied kinesiology in my teaching with remarkable results. If you are struggling with your seat find an instructor who understands and uses these techniques. You will save years of struggle and thousands of dollars of wasted lessons with ineffective teaching. I was "enlightened" to this by Eckart Meyners' seat symposiums and have looked into some books available prior to his new book (currently being translated) that deals specificaly with dressage riders. This is his current book in english Fit for Riding: Exercises for Riders and Vaulters
Kinesiology (from the Greek words "KINEIN", to move, and "LOGOS", to study) is the scientific study of movement. The primary aims of Kinesiology are:
understanding the human body's physiological and psychological responses to acute short-term physical activity,
understanding the various adaptations of the human body to chronic or long-term physical activity,
understanding the cultural, social, and historical importance or physical activity,
understanding the mechanical qualities of movement,
understanding the processes that control movement and the factors that affect the acquistion of motor skills, and
understanding the psychological effects of physical activity on human behavior.
To achieve these aims, research in Kinesiology requires the use of a variety of scientific knowledge and research techniques from such fields as biology, chemistry, history, physics, psychology, and sociology. The areas of investigation within Kinesiology are quite extensive because the responses of the human body to physical activity can be examined at many levels (from cellular to whole society).
A Knowledge base in Kinesiology provides professional preparation for careers in fitness-related industries, athletic training, teaching and coaching, and health related fields such as physical therapy.

Eckart Meyners
I consider Eckart Meyners to be a founding father for the future of dressage equitation. I attended one of his seat symposiums for 3 days and refer to his video tapes and his book Fit for Riding: Exercises for Riders and Vaulters frequently. I have seen instant improvement in my students when I apply the excercises he recommends. Check out this info from:

Melissa riding Rosie in leg yield on the circle with uberstreichen on the inside rein. This picture was taken this morning during her lesson. I like the convenience of the digital camera, you can take a hundred pictures for training analysis then delete them and start again. Melissa is an adult and chooses not to wear a helmet and I have no problem with that. I realize its a big topic for some riders and instructors but not for me.

Renate J Lansburgh
I watched 3 lessons by Renate J Lansburgh today.
Two quotes that stand out are:
"I am a stickler for the basics."
and "I think timing of the aids is the key."
There is hope for USA dressage with this kind of teaching. She stressed the basics as the foundation for all future work. If you get a chance to clinic or train with her you won't be disappointed.

This is another one of my favorite books. The cover features Isabel Werth one of my all time favorite riders. Using diagrams and detailed descriptions of problems and tips to improve them this book is ideal for instructors to use with their students.

lipizzaners
..I have the pleasure of working with two lovely ladies who ride Lipizzaner/TB's, a mare named Bella and the other a gelding named Puck. They are both fabulous horses. Another student from years past just contacted me for an adult clinic get away with her full bred Lipizzaner gelding Alex. I feel fortunate to work with this breed and these dedicated ladies. I am a fan of Lipizzaners and Alois Podhajsky who was from the Spanish Riding School is one of my favorite authors.
videoing a ride
..so I was suppose to video a horse with this fabulous new tripod that has all the video controls on the handle for Martijn Stuurman. Well it was going well until we went to look at the video. Apparently I hadn't pushed the REC button hard enough and the tape never recorded. Another lesson learned, double check everything always.
