The Art of Dressage

The dictionary defines dressage as "the training of a horse in precision movements and the execution of such movements." This does not express the true beauty and poetry of dressage.

Dressage is a fascination, an obession, an art. An art that builds on a relationship between the rider and the horse. Built on a relationship of trust, respect, and the appreciation and understanding of the horse's structure, posture and locomotion.

Dressage is a shared exploration and discovery of the explosive power of the nature of both the rider and the horse and the calm balance of unity.

Whether you ride Western, English, Barrels or just for fun, dressage will make a difference in the reason you ride, for the pleasure of it.
