The Straightness Training Evaluation Program
Get Your Videos Evaluated
The ST Evaluation Program is the online video evaluation system of Marijke de Jong’s Straightness Training Academy.
Through videos, you can demonstrate a Straightness Training session with your horse, and with the feedback you’ll get, you’re able to progress much faster as you would do on your own.
How It Works
Get Evaluated. Get Certified.
Show us the exercises you practice in the training pillars groundwork, longeing, work in hand, riding, or Straightness Training at liberty, and Marijke will help you get your work from the basic level all the way up to the more advanced levels – from grade 1 to grade 5.
Each of the five training pillars has been divided into five grades, where a grade represents the complexity of exercises and skills, and where grade 5 covers the most advanced exercises and skills.
To evaluate your ability at a certain grade in a certain training pillar, you can submit a video with a set of pre-defined exercises, called a Touchstone.
When you pass a Touchstone, you’ll receive a Touchstone Certificate.
When you pass all five Touchstones in a certain grade, you will be awarded a Grade Certificate.
In total, 25 Touchstones certificates and 5 Grade Certificates can be obtained.
