About Dressage Events
Dressage, derived from the French word for "training," is often described as horse ballet. This elegant discipline showcases the natural athletic ability of the horse and the harmony between horse and rider. Through progressive training, horses learn to perform increasingly complex movements with grace and apparent ease. From basic walk, trot, and canter work to advanced movements like piaffe, passage, and pirouettes, dressage represents the highest expression of horse training.
