Dressage Riders

[Celtic Hill]

Just wondering who rides dressage? I have been doing dressage with my horse since the end of the summer, before her i had an off the track TB that was showing Third before he was sold. He was really awesome, but i got him when he was older (late twentys) so i couldn't do alot with him. But we did our lateral work a couple times during a lesson i got 4 Tempies down the center line. Now ive been working with my Irish Sport Horse and Trainer!

I've done dressage in the past but haven't competed at in it over 2 years, I sold the horse that enjoyed it. My endurance horse, sadly, sees no point in trotting in circles no matter how much I vary the pattern. DD did a walk only test at a schooling show last summer and came in 3rd. Highest I've ever competed was First Level Test 1. With my dressage horse, we earned 6 points for our Legion of Honor in dressage alone.

I also do take an occasional dressage lesson to keep myself and my horse primed even though I no longer compete at it.

I ride dressage! I lease a really wonderful Hanoverian gelding who I competed at third this last year. I will hopefully be purchasing him from his owner some time this winter which I'm very excited about. Either way we'll be back out next season at third, and hopefully a show or two at 4th by the end of summer!

Here he is:

That is awesome! At what level do they start riding in a full bridle? Our first dressage show as supposed to be last month but due to an injury she was layed up and wasn't ready for the show.

The double bridle is optional at 3rd and 4th, required above that.
