Dressage

Men and women competing side by side

Olympic sport since 1912


The pinnacle of horse training and the most artistic and elegant of the equestrian sports. The horse is required to perform at a walk, trot and canter, and all tests are ridden from memory and follow a prescribed pattern of movements. The only exception is the Freestyle which is specially choreographed for each horse and is performed to music.
