Interesting Facts

Dressage is the training of horse Solid-hoofed herbivorous quadruped domesticated since prehistoric times in obedience and deportment. It originated in the military and artistic equestrian academies of Europe. This specialized training is designed to improve and showcase the posture and movement of the horse, much as gymnastics improves and showcases the movement of a human being. Dressage movements are based upon those a horse performs while running free and/or interacting with herdmates. These movements range from the simple (a correct, balanced walk) to the spectacular (crouching on the hind legs, high leaps and kicks). At its highest level, horse and rider achieve total harmony and the rider's commands are barely perceptible.
Competitive dressage became an Olympic sport in 1912. Competitive Dressage competition levels start with the basic training of a young horse and advance in small steps to the highest level. Dressage competitions judge the horse and rider as they perform a "test" consisting of many individual movements, each graded on a scale 0-10 based on the quality of the movement. .10 is perfection, and is rarely achieved, even by those at the top of the sport; 0 is a movement not executed at all. Certain movements are given double emphasis, and in addition to the test movements, scores are given for the rider's skill and the horse's attitude.
Dressage in which every step or movement is set to music is known as The kur. The highest level of dressage competition in the Olympic Games is a kur known as the "Grand Prix Special".
