Dressage (Aug. 2 through Aug. 9)

Sometimes characterized as ballet on horseback, dressage showcases the relationship between horse and rider by testing them on a series of requested movements. The horse should demonstrate a willingness to perform while the rider remains relaxed and almost motionless.
