Olympic Dressage

Olympic dressage is a competitive equestrian event where riders perform a series of highly trained, precise movements with their horses, showcasing harmony, control, and elegance. It involves executing routines that include transitions, pirouettes, and extended trots, judged on factors like accuracy, fluidity, and the horse’s responsiveness. The goal is to demonstrate a deep partnership between horse and rider through practiced, refined performances. Dressage is often referred to as "horse ballet," emphasizing grace, skill, and discipline. It is a core discipline in the Olympic equestrian program, highlighting the artistry and technical mastery of horsemanship.
