The Training Scale

Dressage is a French term most commonly translated to mean “training,” making it essential as the foundation of all disciplines.

** This is not my work and I do not take credit for it. If you know the artist, please let me know so I can give them due credit.

The terminology alone can be overwhelming when you are first exploring the world of dressage... heck, even when you’ve be studying it for years.

Over the course of the next month, I plan to simply review each step of the training scale. I hope you’ll follow along and find some clarity!

(Looking at the drawings in this image, which one does your horse most resemble? Determining that answer can help you figure out where your horse is in his/her training development).
