Dressage is the harmonious development of the physique and ability of the horse, making it calm, supple, loose and flexible, as well as confident, attentive and keen, thus achieving perfect understanding with its rider.
We’d like everyone to feel they can get involved with Dressage – from hairy unicorns, to big glamorous beauties, from those starting out on lead rein to those aiming for the stars, and everyone in between. We would love to help our members learn and progress their flat work and have fun while doing so. ESPC work with some wonderful coaches across all levels who are very friendly.
Dressage is a sport where horse and rider perform a series of predetermined movements set out in a dressage test with precision and grace. It emphasises the harmony between the two, showcasing the horse’s athleticism and the rider’s skill in communication and control.
