Jumping 3′9 with my dressage horse! Read Description
March 11th, 2010
I am shocked by the amount of people who have posted comments such as: “Wow! That’s amazing! I did not think a dressage horse could jump. But thats great that you do both, dressage can get soo boring.”
First of all, WHAT DO YOU THINK EVENTING IS? Number two, all Grand Prix jumpers have their horses trained to at LEAST 3rd lvl dressage. Interesting hmm? So of COURSE dressage horses can jump. They have all the basics of slowing down, speeding forward, lengthening stride, shortening stride, balance, and bending. All that’s needed is for the horse to learn to go over a jump. Not hard.
If you ride correct dressage, it becomes anything but boring! And take this from the wild child, anti-dressage, jumping Nazi I was back a couple of years ago. Dressage, I believe, is the hardest equine sport, and while I may get flamed for saying that, it is the truth. It is the foundation for ALL equine sports, (yesh even barrel racing) and without it you CANNOT go far in any other sport. Why is it so hard? Because of the impossible goal you search for, perfection.
