Steven, It sounds like you have started
riding correctly by getting a good instructor, Dressage is the basis
for ALL other riding. Dressage just means "training" and once you
get the balance and disipline you will be able to do anything you want and so
will your horse.
I teach a lot of older adults just starting out and
they all hear the same lecture. I tell them-- Just because I teach
you dressage doesn't mean you nessesarily have to show, you can go anywhere you
want with this.
Good luck and welcome to the fun world of
horses. That is how my husband became interested in horses. He
thought I was having WAY to much fun with out him and decided he had better join
me if he wanted to see much of me. Now he wouldn't give his horse
up.
