Beginner Dressage Part 1

This is the first tutorial in my Beginner Dressage Series.
If you're new to Star Stable Dressage and/or Metal Queens, this tutorial will be very helpful!
You can see the Queens' demonstrating each of the Beginner Dressage moves in the video tutorial, below.
Be sure to check that out, because seeing the moves in action is often times easier to understand than just reading about them.
Also, be sure to visit my Dressage Mastery Series where I have a bunch more tutorials with free .pdf printouts for each series!
You can download them and keep them handy in your Star Stable Dressage binder!
