There are far worse fates than being a dressage horse ... Those that mock have little idea of the skill it takes to do it well ... To the uninitiated it may be like watching grass grow, but it is hard ... Maybe a little like Zen ... Many do not get it ... But it is nothing to be scoffed at ---and at a basic level helps all horses with soundess and coordination ... Seattle Slew was a klutz as a baby, and Paula Turner asked him to do a surprising amount and level of dressage to balance him ... I am sure it helped ... Mock not from what ye do not know ... That said, Miss SC, of course we are still friends .....
