I have my first dressage test this sunday on my 15hh standardbred 12yo mare, it's just a walk and trot test as Kristal naturally paces which makes canter difficult for her, so i hope we don't make fools of ourselves...
Hello, I have a standardbred mare and know that they are underappreciated, ok they cant canter but thats not a crime. Good luck for your dressage test, you'll be the best, do you know any other horses that have such naturally forward going paces? When I was riding my mare they didn't have walk and trot tests so I never did dressage but i think its brill that your going to do it. Am i getting too excited here? I love standardbreds, dont listen to any stupid people who might come up to you and tell you that your horse is lame or a 'freak' (it happens). Have a great time. Post your result.
