Dr. Cesar Parra, founder of Piaffe-Performance, teaches and trains with respect to the Classical German Training Methods. These methods are based on the training scale: relaxation, rhythm, contact, impulsion, straightness and collection.

 

Dr. Parra believes that every ride should start at the bottom of the scale and each step should be mastered successfully. For example, one should never try for impulsion without achieving contact first. This training scale is the foundation of the Classical German System and of Dr. Parra's training philosophy.

 

Dr. Parra's philosophies by which he conducts his life are courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, sharing and strength of character. These are the same qualities he tries to pass on in his teaching and training.
