Competition Arena
 

This is a picture
of a dressage
arena. Its dimensions
are 60 by 20 meters.
Because it is such
a small area, the
movements of the
horse must be
controlled and
precise
.

 

 
     
   

The directions below this picture describe one
training exercise that will help develop the dressage horse. There are countless exercises that can develop strength and balance. To be effective, they must be done correctly. This is the great challenge for riders! Many, many books have been written on this subject. But knowing it intellectually doesn't necessarily translate to doing it properly. Ask any dressage rider!
