Dressage From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search An upper-level dressage competitor performing an extended trot Dressage (a French term meaning "training") is a path and destination of competitive horse training , with competitions held at all levels from amateur to the Olympics . Its fundamental purpose is to develop, through standardized progressive training methods, a horse's natural athletic ability and willingness to perform, thereby maximizing its potential as a riding horse . At the peak of a dressage horse's gymnastic development, it can smoothly respond to a skilled rider's minimal aids by performing the requested movement while remaining relaxed and appearing effortless. Dressage is occasionally referred to as "Horse Ballet " (cf. nl:Dressuur ). Although the discipline has ancient roots, dressage was first recognized as an important equestrian pursuit in the West during the Renaissance . The great European riding masters of that period developed a sequential training system that has changed little since then and classical dressage is still considered the basis of trained modern dressage.

Our Latest Newsletter New In HorsesDaily Sales and Training Listings Van Den Brande Dressage Stable in Wellington, Florida Galant du Serein, the fabulous Selle Francais stallion that passed away earlier this year, had a successful international career that included competing in the Dressage World Cup, the World Equestrian Games and the Olympics. But it was with Werner van den Brande that he got his start. Van den Brande clearly has an eye for a winner. The 31-year-old rider and trainer owns and operates Van Den Brande Dressage Stable based at Ida Farm in Wellington, Florida and he’s a recent transplant to the U.S., having settled her permanently a little over a year ago. For many years, van den Brande traveled back and forth between the U.S. and his native Belgium, teaching clinics and selling horses. Those U.S. trips frequently took him to Florida and Van Den Brande quickly discovered that the weather in Florida, particularly in winter, was far better than in Belgium. And that’s why he now calls Florida home."I like the U.S. And, I’ll be honest, I’m not to keen on winter," van den Brande said. Read More....

Bribes for Entry Website Last Updated: 22nd January 2008 A few weeks ago, Eurodressage received some emails from international dressage riders complaining about ridiculously high entry fees to compete at CDI shows in Germany. They brought to light that in order to obtain a berth at the show, riders of smaller dressage nations are only allowed to enter it if they pay a fee between 3,000 and 5,000 euro, while riders of the bigger dressage nations either just pay the nominal entry fee, or ride for free. The situation is even worse. The most famous celebrity riders get paid substantial amounts of money to compete at a show as show organizers hope to attract bigger crowds when a celebrity rider is on the participants' list. While the dressage committee of the FEI is on a mission to promote dressage world-wide and stimulate the globality and transparency in the sport, riders from small dressage countries are obstructed in their development by being forced to pay bribe entry fees to compete. Show organization circumvents the official entry fee by resorting to blackmail practices, which undermine FEI regulations. They demand the riders to buy a "VIP table" in exchange for an entry. Eurodressage mailed the organizers of the CDI shows, which are known to resort to "bribes for entry," but they were unavailable for comment (read: they did not reply to our emails). While it is understandable and generally known that running an international dressage show is very expensive, organizations should be more creative in generating money through sponsorship than by blackmailing riders.

[French, preparation, training, dressage, from dresser , to set up, arrange, train, from Old French drecier , to set up, arrange. See dress.] Foreword This website concerns what a lot of people normally call 'Classical Dressage'. I prefer to call it 'Traditional Dressage', since 'classical' is such an over-used word. 'Classical' usually referes to the Greeks and the Romans before the birth of Christ, or possibly to the art of the latter half of the 18th and the early 19th centuries (Websters.com). It also means 'Standard and authoritative rather than new or experimental' which I guess is closer, but that takes away the possibility of experiments and inventions based on standards. In out scientific times, that would be a shame. Another shame is that many dressage trainers, even, or especially the more dubious ones, claim to be 'Classical' in order to justify themselves and put themselves above criticism. There's no licence for calling oneself a 'Classical Dressage' instructor, and there's no clear specifications to what is classical or not. As Dr Thomas Ritter says on his 'Classical Dressage Discussion Group' forum, the old masters didn't even call it 'classical'. They just called it dressage.
