What is Dressage? 

Pronunciation: dre s ah ze (rhymes with massage)

Most people, when they think of the word "Dressage", think of that part of our sport where riders compete alone in the ring, in white pants and coats with tails, wearing a top hat, working with their horse to execute precise moves at letters or positions around the ring while timed and motivated to music. 

The true definition of Dressage is "Training".  Dressage training is the BASIS for all riding.  The Walk, Trot & Canter are all basic Dressage that we all use everyday in riding whether you are taking your horse on a long trail ride, or, working in the ring getting ready for that next show. 

Dressage is the foundation of all riding and the more you know about it, the more in tune, connected and responsive your horse will be to you and your aids..
