Cowboy Dressage Clinic

Last weekend Arwen and I went to the Cowboy Dressage Clinic at the Horseman's Word Ranch in Uxbridge.  Don Halladay was the instructor and he helped us understand what is involved and the correct way to ride the test. We practiced Saturday and Sunday we rode 2 tests. It was really helpful and certainly gave me a better idea of what is expected and how you take movements and then put them all together for a test. Lots to learn and the point of Cowboy Dressage is that the horse is always to be considered first. It is not about winning or losing. It is about communicating with your horse and doing your best and riding with a soft feel.
