Not-So-Speedy Dressage - Bakersfield Dressage

Best Horse in Europe

7/20/2015

This post is courtesy of Austen over at Guinness on Tap.

Yesterday, I shared some photos of Izzy playing during turnout - I also shared two of those photos on Facebook.

A dressage horse (or will be someday) pretending to be a race horse.

We all know that real racehorses don't spend so much time dawdling through the air. Austen found the perfect video to go along with the whole dressage horse or race horse theme. Check it out.

About the Writer and Rider

I am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010.
Welcome to my dressage journey.
