Dressage is an equestrian sport in which the
horse and rider are a team. At horse shows the combined horse
and rider can measure their skills by progressing through the
test levels. Dressage is one of the few sports where men and
women compete as equals, and encompasses riders of all ages.
Everyone loves the musical freestyles, in which the horse and
rider dance together to music. Riders may move up from
Provincial to National or International competitions and even
move on to the Olympics.
Dressage Winnipeg (DW) is dedicated to the
improvement of dressage by means of the following programs:
1) Hosting several shows each year,
including this year the Manitoba Provincial
Championships
2) In the off season we host the
Traveling Schooling Shows so riders can get more
experience show situations
3) Youth and Educational Programs
The number of spectators at Dressage Winnipeg shows is
growing, particularly for the freestyles. Dressage Winnipeg
holds their shows at the site of the 1967 and 1999 Pan Am
Games, the Bird's Hill Park (Manitoba Horse Council)
Equestrian Center.
Your continued support will be very
much appreciated and will help to advance the sport of
dressage in Manitoba.
