The Ringside Guide for Any Rider at Any Level

Softness - Looseness - Engagement - Adjustability - Ground Work

CLASSICAL DRESSAGE MEETS WESTERN HORSEMANSHIP in the growing equestrian discipline of Western Dressage. Dressage work demands that horses be responsive, supple, and balanced - desirable qualities whether your horse is navigating trails, working cattle, or performing in a dressage competition.

Following a comprehensive training path, these 101 exercises, presented as full arena diagrams with step-by-step instructions, develop your horse's natural ability to carry himself correctly. Practicing them will also improve your own riding skills and strengthen your relationship and communication with your horse.

Western Dressage can make your horse the best he can be, whether the goal is pleasure riding, the highest levels of competition, or somewhere in between.
