Dressage is an equestrian sport in which many people enjoy watching and taking part. Dressage means teaching your horse to respond quickly to instruction and training it to be supple and balanced. Anyone can train their horse to complete dressage at a basic level.

The goal of dressage

The goal of dressage is to increase your horse's flexibility and to improve its overall balance. Even basic instruction of your horse is training it to carry out an element of dressage, which makes it stronger and more pleasurable to ride.

If you compete you will always be competing against yourself, as well as others taking the test. The goal in competition is to always improve on your own score. Dressage is a beautiful sport to watch. The communication between horse and rider is very interesting to behold and the level of performance can be breathtaking.
