The Horse Show Grounds is used for friendly competitions, fun horse shows and other Equestrian events which develop teamwork and sportsmanship. The horse shows include English and Western Pleasure classes as well as an annual Dressage Show.
Dressage is a concentrated discipline of horsemanship that creates a synergistic relationship between horse and rider. While dressage literally means “training” in French, it is so much more than that. In Dressage, the horse and rider create a bond that enables them to communicate seamlessly through the rider aides – thus creating a ballet-like dance. To the average person, these aides are nearly imperceptible, which makes it appear as though the horse is performing on his own and the rider is simply a passenger. At the upper levels, the horse and rider have all but mastered the art of non-verbal communication. The horse willingly performs the difficult tasks asked with style and grace.
