Not really but you should stick to a training program as closely as possible. A rider can compete as long as they are able to ride. A horse should be brought along slowly to avoid problems later on. Classical dressage is more taxing on the horse and full training should not begin until the horse is 5 years old or older. 'Basic' Dressage can begin at age 3 years and progress from there until the horse is ready to retire.

What is the difference between a hunt saddle and a dressage saddle?

There's no such thing as a show saddle, unless you mean a saddle you use exclusively for shows. A dressage saddle has a very deep seat to help the rider sit and a long, straight saddle flap to accommodate the longer leg position. The girth straps are also quite long so that the short dressage girth does not hinder the leg laying flat. Typically the saddles used in hunter/jumper shows are of medium depth with a more forward cut flap.


Where does the word dressage come from?

The current use of the word "dressage" is, in England, of comparatively recent date. The word has been taken over verbally from the French, as a term connected with horsemanship. The fact that there just is no exact equivalent whereby to translate "dressage" into English probably goes a long way to explain the misunderstanding, and sometimes event the touch of mystery, whereto the use of this word has given rise. I believe the word dressage is the french word for training. I could be wrong.

What letters are used as a marker in riding school?

If you mean that you are horseback riding and there are letters in the arena, you are riding in a dressage arena. A dressage arena usually has eight letters around the sides of the arena. Starting on the short end, the letters should be AKEHCMBF. A and C are in the middle of the short sides and KEH and CMB are on the two long sides. These letters are markers that are used in a dressage test. gs
