Transform your relationship with your horse from the ground up.
This manual is not a collection of isolated techniques.
It is a structured, in depth, and progressive training program that integrates biomechanics, ethology, and classical riding into a single coherent vision.
The aim is the development of both horse and rider as a conscious, harmonious, and technically competent partnership.
Designed by Isaac Ares, this work is grounded in decades of study, observation, and hands-on experience with horses of all types, guided by a deep sensitivity to the horse’s physical, emotional, and cognitive needs at every stage of learning.
WHAT MAKES THIS MANUAL UNIQUE?
Three-tiered training structure (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced).
Each level is designed with biomechanical and pedagogical progression in mind, respecting the horse’s natural learning rhythm and physical development.
No shortcuts and no dogma.
Every technique is explained from its philosophical, technical, biomechanical, and ethological foundations, offering not only the how, but the meaningful why behind the work.
Science over empty tradition.
The manual integrates current principles of functional anatomy, equine behaviour, and learning theory, leaving behind outdated or harmful practices while preserving what truly serves the horse.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
How to build a solid foundation of communication and trust.
The precise and progressive use of aids.
The influence of the rider’s seat and posture on the horse’s biomechanics.
Gymnastic exercises organised in structured tables by level and objective.
How to prevent injuries through respectful, well-structured training.
The true meaning of collection: beyond posture, towards functional balance.
WHO IS THIS MANUAL FOR?
Riders committed to serious, ethical training.
Trainers seeking to refine and update their methods with a scientific foundation.
Horse owners who want to truly understand and support their horse’s development.
Lovers of classical equestrian art who seek coherence, depth, and long-term evolution.
For young horses, rehabilitation processes, and retraining.
A foundational level integrating philosophical, ethological, biomechanical, technical, and gymnastic material, aimed at establishing a correct understanding of movement from the very beginning.
Here, the physical and mental foundations are built to support all future training, respecting the horse’s body, nature, and timing.
Designed for horses from all disciplines working at an intermediate to advanced stage.
Training is analysed and structured through five core pillars: philosophy, technique, gymnastics, biomechanics, and ethology, allowing the work to be organised with greater clarity, coherence, and precision.
A level focused on developing strength, balance, and expression without losing correctness or respect for the horse.
The Soul of Grand Prix
At this stage, training becomes the art of precision. To collect, to sustain, to flow without tension or tricks. This level is for those who seek peak performance without sacrificing harmony, lightness, or the horse’s truth.
Este es el nivel inicial:
Para caballos jóvenes, procesos de rehabilitación y reentrenamiento.
Un nivel de base que integra material filosófico, etológico, biomecánico, técnico y gimnástico, orientado a establecer una comprensión correcta del movimiento desde el inicio.
Aquí se construyen los cimientos físicos y mentales que sostendrán todo el trabajo futuro, respetando los tiempos, el cuerpo y la naturaleza del caballo.
Dirigido a caballos de todas las disciplinas en un nivel medio–avanzado.
El entrenamiento se analiza y estructura desde cinco pilares: filosofía, técnica, gimnasia, biomecánica y etología, permitiendo comprender y organizar el trabajo con mayor precisión y coherencia.
Un nivel orientado a desarrollar fuerza, equilibrio y expresividad sin perder claridad ni respeto por el caballo.
El Alma del Gran Premio
En esta etapa, el entrenamiento se convierte en arte de precisión.
Reunir, sostener, fluir sin tensión ni artificios.
Este nivel es para quienes buscan el máximo rendimiento sin sacrificar la armonía, la ligereza ni la verdad del caballo.
