Also, what breed of horse do you ride in dressage (because obviously that makes a difference). Thank you very much for answering!
The standard answer from any professional is that you move up a level a year. Many people skip showing at training level entirely, or show training level their first spring out and by fall [...]

I have an andalusian and I’ve never taken a horse to a dressage show that didn’t have a short, pulled mane to plait. He has a very big mane and it’s is too long and thick to plait, how do you do it up for a dressage show? Is it considered informal to leave it [...]

Ein Spin in der Dressur bringt garantiert schlechte Wertnoten. Eine Pirouette ruft im Westernreitsport maximal ein Gähnen hervor. Nicht so, wenn sich zwei Größen des Reitsports verbünden. Lausbub macht unter Dennis Schulz eine ebenso gute Figur, wie Smart Rattle Snake mit Peter Gmoser. Langeweile kommt da mit Sicherheit keine auf [...]

Do dressage judges prefer palominos, bays, dapple gray, or roans? And what breeds do they like better? Arabs, thoroughbreds, warm bloods, or mixed breeds? Thanks!
Dressage judges SHOULDN’T care about breed or color, but, they do. If you are looking at buying a horse for dressage, then you shouldn’t bother to think about what the judge [...]

I finally found an extra wide dressage saddle for my moose horse but it is so slippery. I haven’t had a new saddle in years and can’t remember how to break them in.
Give it a good coat of neatsfoot oil and let it soak for several hours and then soap with something glycerin based. Then [...]

I want to get a good dressage horse, and I am thinking of a German Warmblood, like a Hanoverian. Anybody have some other good breeds for upper-level dressage?
Well, I’ve never seen many Halflingers doing dressage, and no Paso Finos or Walkers in the upper levels. Your right in thinking along the lines of German Warmbloods. [...]
