The sport of Western Dressage is growing rapidly. Similar to Traditional Dressage, Western Dressage uses the training scale to systematically develop happy and sound equine athletes. While at the same time, helping the rider develop a balanced seat and deeper connection with their equine partner.
Like Traditional Dressage, Western Dressage is focused on developing relaxation, balance, and a strong connection between horse and rider. Western Dressage competitions offer a series of standard riding tests that progress through the stages of a horse's training. A test consists of a standard pattern with transitions between gaits and various schooling figures.
Come experience the fun and benefits of Western Dressage at one of our shows!
