How Dressage Trainers Cover Up The Abuse At The Riding Stable - Real World Examples

In light of Operation x on TV2 last week, a lot of people are wondering how he got away with it. More importantly how is it so widespread throughout the dressage community at the top and nobody talks about it.

The short answer is that they abuse people as much as they abuse horses.

I have the worlds greatest fans here at Dressage Hub, and about once a month I have someone send me something to publish. Abuse is a tricky space to navigate. While Astrid over at Euro Dressage is mostly concerned about lawsuits and refrains from publising the abuse, I generally want to ensure that all of the whistle blowers are going to remain safe.

SafeSport does not protect working students and grooms from the hidden world of abuse in the sport of dressage. So let's get into it.

If you have been following the scandal around Operation X where TV2 in Denmark sent a groom undercover into the Helgstrand Dressage sales barn, you are going to want to watch this.

Andreas Helgstrand responded to the media to defend his practices. He makes a lot of claims to the television reported but she catches him in his lies.

After hiring lawyers to stop the episode from being aired he is not in damage control mode and not doing a very good job of it.
