Dressage Versatility

What is Dressage Versatility?

• A balanced and secure seat and position
• The ability to walk, trot and canter safely in any situation
• Lateral (sideways, or side to side) control of your horse
• Effective, meaningful leadership with your horse on the ground and under saddle
• A pleasant, respectful, calm horse in any situation

I use this term because I find a lot of people want help becoming good horse men and women, but who don’t think of themselves as dressage riders. They may have a goal of trail riding or pleasure riding or simply not like the title of “dressage rider”. If your goal is to have a versatile, well trained horse and be a secure and effective horseman or horsewoman, Dressage Versatility is for you!
