What to Look for in a Dressage Horse
I have schooled a number of horses from getting on for the first time to Grand Prix. Over the years, I've changed my mind about what I look for in dressage prospects. Like most people, I started out thinking that I wanted a horse with exceptional thrust and air time in his stride; that aspect was most important. I looked at how a horse trotted, how much cadence he had, how much expression there was and so on. I was looking for a big mover--a floating trot and a big, off-the-ground canter.
