Academic Art of Riding means to bring the Historical Art of Riding from the past back to life again. The horse must be trained according to its abilities, concerning both body and mind. Thoughtful gymnastic exercises will keep horses healthy and long living.
Knights and squires are welcome on the Summer Academy 2012, from Wednesday the 1st to Saturday the 4th of August.
The Summer Academy begins with the public evening on Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday Bent Branderup will train his horses. In the afternoon there is opportunity for meetings and discussions. On Saturday round table of the year will take place.

This contribute to a better understanding of the biomechanical relationships in dressage training.
