Author Topic: Dressage anyone? arabianlvr87 Member Member # 1288 posted April 17, 2004 02:16 PM         Ok, I am officially fed up with Hunt Seat! I refuse to do it any longer! Anyway, my trainer said Cat would make a very good Dressage horse. I've also heard there is less competition for 18 and under aged. So anyway, I would really appreciate it if someone could give a basic explain of it all. (What do you do? What are you judged on? etc...) -------------------- http://community.webshots.com/user/catandfelicity ---------- We are all of us stars and we all deserve to twinkle. --Marilyn Monroe ----------- Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising in every time we fall. -Confucious ----------- I AM an egotistical BRAT!! ----------- Treat you like my horse?

Intro you MUST post, but in training level you can either post or sit, w/e is most comfortable to you. Then starting at first level you are required to sit the trot. -------------------- http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=JesusFreak18 http://www.picturetrail.com/eventingdaydream http://www.picturetrail.com/tinaNpal Posts: 1248 | From: Texas | Registered: Nov 2003 arabianlvr87 Member Member # 1288 posted April 18, 2004 08:43 AM         Ok, thanks! Just wondering because I hate having to worry about my diagonals, and someone told me you were only required to post on the first test. Thanks so much EventingDayDream!!! -------------------- http://community.webshots.com/user/catandfelicity ---------- We are all of us stars and we all deserve to twinkle. --Marilyn Monroe ----------- Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising in every time we fall. -Confucious ----------- I AM an egotistical BRAT!! ----------- Treat you like my horse?
