Re: [RC] Slack Reins, Dressage, Horse/Human Relationships - Sisu West Ranch
It is my understanding that Dressage started as a
method of training noble cavalrymen and horses. Now in a battle a horse
will be asked to go over rough ground, at any speed, and do it all while the
rider has a lance or saber in the right hand and later a pistol in
the left hand.
I have a hard time envisioning a modern show
dressage horse being guided by the riders legs over a rough field, but this had
to be the goal of the training of a good war horse.
