Dressage

Dressage, the french word for training, is the development of the horse’s overall natural ability to perform basic and then progressively technical movements in order to demonstrate suppleness, obedience and self-carriage in all gaits. Dressage is an art which requires horse and rider to perform as a team in total and full communication with one another. In today’s dressage competitions, horses are able to compete in nine different levels, each requiring increasing levels of technical difficulty. To watch horse and rider in complete harmony is akin to the highest  and most difficult levels of human gymnastics and dance. Join us for a day at the Park to enjoy this highly technical form of horsemanship.
