Why I ride dressage…

[blitznbobs]

I’ve just been watching strictly (I am old so sue me) and was listening to anton du beke say ‘why we dance’ and I thought ‘yeah that’s what riding is about too’ that feeling when it goes right… when the piaffe is special and the canter to walk is easy and the extended trot feels like you are literally flying… does that feeling happen often — nope… but every day I ride it’s that feeling I seek . Not the rosette or the trophy but the feeling it’s like a drug..

I think maybe if the pros could get back to that the world would be a better and happier place

Couldn’t agree more! Also old and been watching Strictly. I was also struck by Anton’s comment in just the same way.

I always love it when my trainer says how does that feel because you know not only does it feel brilliant it looks brilliant as well
