Im 25, I am an eventer but I rode my trainers 4th level mare for a few months this year and schooled some 4th level stuff, never competed in dressage (except training level eventing dressage).

yaaay dressage

Okay I'm 18, I school 2nd and occassionally 3rd level, I've only showed once so far and that was at Training Level ( I was schooling 1st). My horse Apache is learning dressage right along with me but I do work with a trainer who will occassionally hop on him to clear murky things up for both of us, because we do confuse each other sometimes.

Im 17... trained level 2 PC in dressage... compete level 4 PC... I do eventing and yes i would def do dressage even if it wasnt part of Eventing. All my horses i have competed, have been trained in dressage before hand altho my "New" (fingers crossed) horse i will be training my self with the help of my instructor!

I am 21, I have trained up into 4th level movements but I have only shown up to 1st level. I just didn't have the horse to do the upper stuff with. He had his good days where I could get 3rd and 4th level work out of him and he had his bad days. I have taken lessons on my trainers grand prix school master though. I currently own a Morgan that will be my next dressage "pony", she has really nice carriage and movements so I am hoping to at least do up to 2nd level with her. I feel that her height may hold her back though. I will be doing a lot of her training myself but will have help from my trainer as well. My hopes are to get her to at least one walk-trot green as grass, show/test by the end of summer 2006. Right now I am very busy with school, work, family that I don't have as much time as I did in High school to ride, train, and show.

16, I ride my trainers PSG/I1 DWB who used to compete, and a Lipizzan who was trained classical and knows a little hault ecole, she is a mare, so her previous owner just did it for his own purposes (I'm assuming demonstrations, exhibits, etc.), no association with SRS.

MY horse (and my pride and joy!) Is Cut To The Chase! (Chase) I bought him as a very psycho 7 year old, who had never had an owner for longer than 9 months!! He pretty much hated the human race.
I trained him myself and then started eventing with him, but made the switch to just dressage last year.

We did prelim level eventing, but now we are only doing 1st/2nd level dressage, we started over, because sometimes what they pass off as dressage in the eventing world just doesn't cut it in the dressage world.

Very true.

I am 31 and started Dressage at 19 with a slaughter bound, untrained Connemara/Arab gelding. Within 4 years we were competing at 2nd level and schooling solid 3rd. As I am something of a wimp, we only competed at Pre Novice level Eventing and did the 2'3" Hunters.

Since then I was a working student for Michelle Gibson and was regularly riding made FEI horses... I competed at 4th Level in Wellington on an up and coming young horse and at I1 on a schoolmaster.

Now I am back in the world of reality riding my own and client's horses through 2nd level, aiming for 3rd with my own gelding this season. I also Event at Novice level with my horse that I have schooled on my own and have only attended clinics with as there are really no other Eventers in our area.
