Dressage with Purpose

The meaning of the word ‘dressage’ is training, or ‘to train. Working Equitation is a discipline of training that uses training of the horse and rider to benefit and improve their ability to work – navigating obstacles that resemble those that may be found when working cattle or in the field.

This clinic is an introduction to the sport of Working Equitation. It includes application of dressage fundamentals to different obstacles, navigation between them and the basics of how to negotiate each obstacle for different levels of rider/horse teams.

If you want to ride a test, we can also schedule a time to practice your USAWE test! We are looking forward to bringing many more events like this as well as clinics and schooling shows to the Southeastern VA area!
