| | Okay, ive been wanting to do dressage since last fall. so now that im finally able to learn i was wondering if anyone had any tips for starting dressage? i can control a horse at the walk,trot and canter do lateral movements and a little bit of extending, but not much else..
Dressage, its more then a sport, its a passion.when you sit in the saddle, and it feels like nothing else matters then you know your ment to be a horseback rider.
if you've ever ridden in pajamas with shoe's, fallen off a horse, jumped over jump just because you wanted, and spent the entire day cleaning your horse for the horse show, then you can call yourself a real horseback rider.:)

| If you really want to do Dressage, the best thing for that is to get a trainer who has had lots of experience in that discipline. I'm sure no matter you;re area, you'll find a good one. I can help if you need.

| You need a trainer to do dressage correctly, especially when your just starting out. You can't just have your horse move sideways and call it a leg yield, nor can you have your horse running out form under you and call it an extended trot. There are more parts and movements to dressage than you could possibly figure out yourself, so if your serious about this then look into a good trainer.
