Canadian Olympian David Marcus of Marcus Fyffe Dressage discusses why he prefers a very structured, systematic approach to his riding that begins with the warm-up. In each warm-up ride, from green to Grand Prix, David looks to do these three things: 1. Check and train his horse's reactions to his seat, leg and rein. 2.
