EQUESTRIAN HORSE TRAINING:

Dressage, Cross-Country, & Show Jumping Skill Development

DRESSAGE

Dressage is a highly skilled and difficult form of riding where horse and rider perform a series of movements based on memory. Being the highest level of horse training, it is a true art to master this skill. Dressage tests the horse’s natural athletic ability and desire to perform with little guidance from the rider. Requirements range from basic gaits and large circles to lateral movements such as leg yield & shoulder-in.

CROSS-COUNTRY

For a horse to compete on a cross-country course, they will require speed, endurance, and show jumping abilities. The courses can be up to 4 miles in length and included obstacles such as fences, logs, water, trees, ditches, and banks.  The course difficulty typically starts out gradual, becomes more difficult and then tapers, allowing the rider and horse to finish on a lighter note.  Good footing is very important to avoid injury on the horse.

SHOW JUMPING

Show jumping is a complex and technical skill for a horse to master. The skill level of jumping is necessary for the competitions of show jumping, hunter, and the cross-country phase of eventing.  Jumping obstacles are much like fences, and can look rustic and natural or be bright and creatively designed. With some competitions, the rider’s equitation during jumping is graded as well. Learn more on training for horse riding here.
