Dressage

Dressage is an art defined as the harmonious presentation of the horse-and-rider partnership. Historically, principles such as lightness, relaxation, impulsion, and love for the horse are considered essential to achieving "fine riding" and elevating it to the level of art. Dressage represents the stylized expression of the horse's graceful movements. The highest form of dressage requires years of mastery from both horse and rider.
