Petplan Equine today announced the launch of its short dressage advice video by highly sought after trainer Adam Kemp FBHS which will be available for equine enthusiasts on www.yourstables.co.uk from 2nd September 2009.

Adam Kemp is a Fellow of the British Horse Society and one of an elite group of teachers who passed the Society's specialist dressage section of the fellowship exams. The video is designed to inspire and support riders preparing for the Petplan Equine Area festivals which are celebrating their 10th anniversary this year.

In this six-chapter video Adam shares with viewers his extensive experience, giving tips on how to best prepare for and execute a dressage test. Adam commented: "Not everyone is lucky enough to ride top horses so the film has been designed to help riders at all levels on horses of all types gain those all important extra marks. These lessons can also be applied to the other disciplines as dressage is the basis of them all. There is always something to learn with horses and I hope these videos will prompt people to explore new ways of doing things."

Adam joins former world eventing and six times Badminton Champion Lucinda Green, who also features on the website. Lucinda currently fronts www.yourstables.co.uk and presents a video guide to buying a horse which is also available to view online.

In addition to the video content there is a new a series of downloadable articles that focus on how to prepare for winter and ensure your horse is adequately rugged and fed in the cold months that lie ahead.
