Dressage Techniques

Dressage is an equestrian discipline that focuses on the precise training of horses and riders to perform a series of predetermined movements, known as tests. Key techniques include communication through subtle cues using the rider’s seat, legs, and hands, ensuring harmony between horse and rider. The goal is to achieve smooth, flowing movements that showcase the horse's athleticism and obedience. Training emphasizes responsiveness, balance, and rhythm, often resembling a choreographed dance. Competitions evaluate performances based on accuracy, grace, and the overall partnership between horse and rider. Successful dressage enhances the horse's natural abilities while strengthening the bond between them.
