FEI Dressage World Cup™ Final
Originating back to ancient Greece around 400 BC, dressage is the epitome of partnership and ultimate communication between the horse and rider. In more recent history, the concept of producing obedient, supple, and responsive horses was led by the military – the better schooled the horse, the better the cavalry would fare in battle. This style of riding then extended among the nobility to 'show off' their magnificent rides with exaggerated movements, clearly demonstrating their ability as horsemen. And so, 'dressage' was born.
Dressage riders are technicians in search of perfection, and their ultimate goal is to present you with a horse that is calm, supple, loose, and flexible. They aim to achieve a horse that is confident, attentive, and keen, thus achieving perfect understanding with the athlete. Watching the 'dancing horse' and its rider is like witnessing poetry in motion. Make sure you buy your ticket in time and watch these world-class athletes in person!
