Dressage Queen

I admit it. I am one. I love dressage - I love the precision. It really fits the perfectionist aspects of my personality. Don't get me wrong - I'm perfectly capable of riding outside an arena.

What I don't like is a lot of the trends in modern dressage. Pulling your horse's nose to its chest is...not dressage, to me. "Dresser" - "to lift." There's nothing light about it.

This video shows the difference. Okay, it's a bit fanboyish, but it does show it.
