An article that describes the consequenses of rollkur/hyperflexion, for the welfare of the horse, based on insights into the effect of training with diminished air-flow, thus altering the acid-alkaline balance in tissues/brain, the production of endorphins and the stress-response.

It is a brand new hypothesis, backed by science, conducted both on horses and other mammals.

An article submitted by CRC Member Annette Brookes.  August 2009.

Following my editorial in February's Cracker, where I complained that there had been no response to my Letter published in Horse & Hound, 29^th January 2009 from British Dressage – I am delighted to say we have since had a reaction.

Richard Davison's comment (Horse & Hound, 5^th February 2009) is published together with my original letter in the Public Library section of our Website. I think it is great that BD are now much more open to change than in the past and CRC has always been keen to share ideas for a more humane and classical system of Judging as laid out in our booklet “CRC Dressage – Making A Difference” This booklet can be ordered through the Merchandise section of our Website and in it you will get a much clearer picture of how a different system of awarding marks could totally revolutionise the way in which dressage is perceived today. More important than that further implementation of our Rules would bring back the idea of promoting the lightness, relaxation and happiness of the horse as well as the correct gaits for all future competitors. I know we are not the only organisation who are keen to do this and there are many in BD who should be congratulated in what they are doing to make the sport more accessible and friendly to all.
