Welcome to the Perfected Dressage Method

The PDM fundamentals dictionary was created by Bambi Prettylove with the goal of developing a modern dressage method, one that helps riders perform with impeccable precision and technique.

A method designed to elevate performance!

Published in August 2021, the PDM dictionary became the first "Dressage Method" fundamentals dictionary released to the SSO dressage community!

Release

The PDM dictionary was initially created privately for PQL in August 2020. One year later, on August 12, 2021, it was published, providing the community with access to our version of modern SSO dressage.

We decided to release PQL's PDM dictionary publicly because, at the time, the dressage community had little to no publicly available fundamental methods, as they were not yet common within the community. We are delighted to share our methods with the public and hope this dictionary helps others expand their fundamental dressage knowledge.

The name "Perfected Method" reflects the extensive testing and studying we invested in each method, ensuring they are the best they can be for dressage riders and commanders who use our method!

History

When Bambi began her SSO journey in 2020, she was introduced to only a few basic dressage moves. As she started teaching dressage, her limited knowledge led her to create her own techniques and methods while instructing. Over time, these improvised methods were given names and gradually developed into the "Perfected Dressage Method," a comprehensive fundamentals dictionary.

The PDM was created out of a desire to provide methods that help dressage riders advance their skills and techniques. Inspired by real-world dressage, Bambi combined mathematical principles with gaming mechanics to develop the foundational methods we use today, methods that are continually evolving and undergoing updates.

Key To Success

Fundamentals are the cornerstone of clean and elite dressage, serving as the first step toward achieving accuracy and precision. Riders who understand the technical aspects of dressage are better equipped to perform seamlessly.

The PDM is designed to provide riders with the skills and tools they need to succeed. It emphasizes the individual skill of each rider rather than relying solely on the instructor's ability to command. While the PDM dictionary is an excellent resource for advancing dressage, many of its methods also serve as a crucial foundation for beginners.

When learning the PDM, we recommend studying one chapter at a time. For instructors teaching the PDM to new riders, we suggest starting with a PDM introduction session.
