MITJA DEMITRIJ ČERNAČ announced exciting new book, Piaffe Passage
Pulling from his experiences as a Grand Prix level dressage trainer, Mitja Demitrij ČERNAČ addresses training the horse’s learning abilities coupled with enjoyable exercises to improve self carriage. Mr. Cernac’s new edition of “Piaffe-Passage and Work in Hand” is filled with beautiful, useful illustrations of correct carriage as well as depicting the horse using his body improperly. He provides exercises for correcting muscle weakness which in turn leads to imbalance.
Cernac writes, “The new FEI rules regarding Piaffe and Passage lay greater weight on these movements as well
as transitions between the two, so it is of utmost importance to perform them well. This is a
book that is drawn on over forty years of experience and is solely dedicated to explaining the
difficult Grand Prix dressage movements of Piaffe, Passage and Work in Hand. On almost one hundred
pages this book explains comprehensively the several possible approaches to Piaffe and Passage. This book
guides you on what is correct, how to begin so the horse will be capable of understanding and thus
performs correctly.”
