Dressage. To the spectator, it looks like an easy ride.

After all, it’s just walking, trotting and cantering inside a rectangle.

But dressage is more than riding the gaits. Dressage is a challenging sport that requires a great deal of Feel.

The sport of dressage requires so much Feel that the rider can spend a lifetime in pursuit of this perfection alone.

Many books have been written about dressage and from them we can learn all the aids, but the books can’t teach you to ride with Feel.
