What people are saying . . .

“I had great pleasure watching Riz’s DVD, ‘Piaffe Revealed.’ The myths and mystique of training the more advanced movements with the horse are broken down simply in these easy-to-follow videos. Riz’s calm approach in dealing with a variety of horses made it fascinating viewing. I can thoroughly recommend this DVD for all dressage lovers.”

“Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together. I totally enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone. Great tips, great work. Thank you!”

“‘Piaffe Revealed’ is an excellently executed and easy-to-follow aid to training the piaffe from the ground. So many riders assume this work to be beyond their wildest dreams, but Riz proves that it is possible for even the more ordinary horse, and, which in itself is not merely a Grand Prix dressage movement, but an invaluable part of earlier training too, to achieve the coiling of the loin which is essential for collection. A valuable resource for any rider who aspires to more than 20m circles and working trot!!”

“These DVDs are easy to understand and I am thrilled that someone finally made a training DVD for those of us who are not professional trainers!” 

-Jane Powell, Maryland

“Over the past 20 years I have learned horsemanship and horse training from some of the best in the business. I learn something from all the great horsemen I ride with or watch. Each one has valuable insight that I use in my clinics, camps and lessons for youth and adults. But I have to give credit to Riz Ilyas in the quality and insightfulness of his new piaffe DVD. Riz has succeeded with clarity and precision to demystify the elements of the piaffe. He has given the horse world an incredible tool that will aid horses and horsemen in achieving new heights of communication not just to learn piaffe but any type of training. Bravo!”

“Received my DVDs the other day. My stallion and my mare are two solid third level horses that are pretty correct in the work and are good at half steps under saddle and in the long lines. I wanted more expression to progress to piaffe but without force that we often see. I often do not have ground help to use the whip and the poles and all that we see done in the dressage world. I liked what I saw you doing but I really did think my horses were so beyond this. However, I decided to go with square one of your method.

I had more understanding after watching your DVDS. Anyway, I easily progressed to the shadow work. This is amazing. The horses understand immediately what you want and come back to the half steps with your body alone. Then they begin to dance with you as you change the balance forward and back with such lightness; then they come back to perfect half steps with the half halts with your body. I was amazed at how they understood exactly what I wanted. But what was really great…I was not touching them and the work was expressive, natural and without force. And it was fun for them. No stress, but like playing. And this was just the first day of using your methods!!! You are terrific. My horses thank you.”

“Thoroughly well-thought-out and thought-provoking revelation of how a few simple minutes of regular communication can not only deepen the bond with the horse, but can improve physique and relaxation and reach a goal that so many wait years to even begin to try. I highly recommend this DVD set to all horse lovers, even if they could care less about piaffe, for they will learn multiple secrets of achieving harmony.”                                                                                                               -Lee Earnshaw

“Wow! This is so simple anyone can do it. This will open up a new era of horsemanship for the average person! Thank you for NOT holding back on all those small details that fully reveal the entire process of teaching any horse to do the piaffe! Before seeing your DVD I never knew the importance of the right tools for the job. Your explanation of all the different whips and guiders was eye opening. Your classroom instruction makes everything so easy to understand. I didn’t feel like the instructor was holding back any secrets or tips. You genuinely want everyone to succeed and your DVD gives anyone who watches them the tools and knowledge to easily teach their horse to piaffe.”

“Not only do I feel that a novice horse owner could learn a lot about training, I believe an experienced horse owner could learn a lot from them! The best training video ever!” 

-Donna Ray

“Thank you for these video lessons that explain the steps of teaching piaffe in such a friendly, uncomplicated manner for both the horse and human.  The arena demonstrations show that the piaffe can, indeed, be trained in a humane, logical manner. Thank you for taking the ‘mystery’ out of piaffe training!” 

-Katherine Arce

“I saw with intent your DVD, ‘Piaffe Revealed.’ I have seen many dressage instructors from Germany, Spain and elsewhere where I believe they could do well to see your DVDs. You have taught it with the softness and gentleness that I prefer for horses. Your explanations and step-by-step approach were very refreshing. Thank you for sharing this and especially like the introduction comment on it not being just your method but what you have learned. A very humble statement and yet the content is very refreshing. Bravo.”

“‘Piaffe Revealed’ is a refreshing look at the art of piaffe. The presentation is well thought out, simple in approach and delivered with humility and care for the horses. An excellent set of videos for the horse enthusiast.”
