The USDF Guide to Dressage

Author: Jennifer Bryant

Beginning with a detailed history of classical horsemanship, Bryant explains the origins of dressage; necessary dressage attire, tack, and equipment; and how to best approach training. She guides you in locating a qualified instructor, then explains what to expect in your first lesson, the importance of the training scale, and the subtleties of the three basic gaits. She also provides a solid overview of basic dressage movements and useful lessons that will help you and your horse learn as a team.

Whatever your primary equestrian discipline, dressage is an ideal way for you to increase your self-awareness and to enhance your relationship with your horse. It can be a rewarding lifelong journey. Enjoy every minute!
