Classical Dressage Clinic
Classical Dressage Clinic
Dressage is a world renowned sport of elegance and class, with horses asked to perform often complicated moves that they normally wouldn't even produce on their own. From the lovely lines of the extended trot to the fierce look of a courbette, dressage epitomizes the grand ability and grace of the horse and shows them off at their very best.
In our Classical Dressage Clinic, you'll find that modern moves such as the extended trot and crossover are put on the back burner for the original and often harder moves that were first considered a mark of dressage. From the high styling of a levade to the tight kicks of a piaffe, these are the moves that were first considered to be part of a true Dressage horse's repertoire and are some of the hardest to pull off.
When your horse enters the clinic, he'll need four different moves in order to pass and gain his certificate.

The Passage - similar to a trot, the horse will have one leg lifted up, the back legs spaced evenly with its body straight as possible in either direction
The Piaffe - the horse brings her hindquarters tight to her belly and lifts opposite legs in a tight prancing motion, with its body straight as possible in either direction
The Levade - the horse rears up with its forelegs tucked toward its body, its hind legs tight together beneath its hindquarters, with its body straight as possible in either direction
The Courbette - the horse rears straight up, forelegs in the air and back legs tight under its hindquarters to balance itself out, with its body straight as possible in either direction
The Capriole - the horse leaps into the air, all four legs off of the ground and tight together with its forequarters slightly higher than the back, with its body straight as possible in either direction
The Croupade - the horse leaps into the air and kicks out with its back legs, which are allowed to be tightly together or slightly apart, with its forelegs straight out to catch itself on the landing and its body straight in either direction
