The definitive guide to dressage--the art, science, and secrets of
graceful horsemanship for riders who want to exude natural elegance
in the saddle
Dressage has been described as "a beautiful ballet on
horseback." It embodies an innate grace, a seemingly effortless
flow, and an easy harmony between horse and rider.
Dressage elevates riding from a sport to an art form. One of the
fastest growing equestrian sports in America, it appeals to
competitive riders as well as those who simply want to improve
their mounts and their skills. Because the principles of dressage

the horse-rider relationship, dressage training enhances other
equestrian disciplines. The exercises and patterns help improve the
horse's overall balance and athleticism and make the mount more
responsive. Ideal for beginning enthusiasts or people who simply
want to appreciate the elegance and finesse of classical riding,
Deciphering Dressage unlocks the secrets of classical, precision
riding. It covers: Choosing and caring for a suitable dressage
