Just curious if anyone follows MillyDressage on instagram? She is trying to syndicate a horse right now.
I follow her from when she was and still is a student of Mary Wanless.
Seems like a lovely young lady.

It’s interesting, I agree that I think she trains in an ethical way. I’m not sure I like all the “giving” like rapid movements she does with her hands - she also seems to perch a bit. I think biomechanically I have some questions about the training style, I think her training creates a very pretty, ethical looking “picture”/frame, but I think her horse Olaf shows a lot of low back tension and it shows up especially in the pirouettes, which do not look correct to me. I think the new horse is cool but not international level showing cool, and I think it’s bold to make claims like that when you yourself haven’t shown above PSG-level, and not much at that level. I also don’t really understand the syndicate model she is advertising - you can buy in at very small shares, and I’m not sure what benefits you get by being part of the syndicate. It doesn’t seem very transparent.
It’s the extreme Wanless style. I have done a few clinics with her and finally had to stop. My horse was not responding well to it and my back was killing me.
