Dressage for the Not-So-Perfect Horse: Riding Through the Levels on the Peculiar, Opinionated, Complicated Mounts We All Love

Thousands of riders pursue the sport of dressage across the globe, and the majority do so on a budget and with the horse they already have, or quite simply, the one they can afford. This means riders daily face the challenge of mastering one of the worldâ€™s most esteemed equestrian pursuits on horses that may not be bred specifically for the task, or even if they have been, may not be top prospects for any number of reasonsâ€”behavioral quirks, conformational impediments, age or soundness issues, you name it.
International dressage judge, clinician, and riding coach Janet Foy has ridden many different horses in the course of her riding and horse training careerâ€”different sizes, shapes, colors, and breedsâ€”to the highest levels of dressage competition. Now she has compiled her best tips for training and showing the horse you have (or the horse you love, despite his â€œfaultsâ€) through the levels. With lists of the common â€œimperfections and evasionsâ€ experienced when riding movementsâ€”from simple transitions and leg-yield to zig-zags, tempi changes, and piaffeâ€” followed by training tips and creative ways to â€œperfectâ€ the â€œimperfections,â€ riders are bound to discover countless ways to apply Janetâ€™s advice in their dressage pursuits.
