Theory
Dressage is for every horse in every discipline it does not have to stand alone. There is so much to gain across all disciplines. The basics for a dressage horse also apply to horses of all types of riding. The same is true for the rider--the balanced seat and judicious application of aides required by dressage make anyone a better rider, regardless of the style saddle they use. You can use it to open and shut gates, improve your horse's response to your leg, seat and hand, and even to improve your horse's gaits. A balanced horse, carrying himself properly, is a smooth ride, no matter what your equestrian style or sport or overall goal. My theory could not be better summarized by a quote from Commandant de Padirac “while forging they become blacksmiths” it loses a little in translation but he was right. All horses have to be molded and it is not a fast process but rather one that needs time. To find happiness on any horse is to do the best we can to work in harmony with him. It is not a function of being quick or being able to impress or always being elegant but rather the fundamentals and accomplishing a solid foundation.
