Any horse is for dressage and can do it, it is just through the determination of the rider that will encourage the horse to do it!!
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.
There are no "dressage horses" but some breeds are used for dressage more than others,, e.g. you would probably use a warmblood rather than a cob. But basically, a dressage horse is a horse that does dressage :)
make sure the horse or pony you are riding can do dressage and get a book showing you what to do
FrisiansThoroughbredsAny horse can be used for Dressage.
usually a dressage prospect is a young horse with potential also ith the right rider to come on to be a good dressage horse x
For a horse to excel at dressage he must have good conformation. His shoulder and pasterns should match with a 45 degree angle. So a horse that has 'upright' shoulders and pasterns will be a bumpy, choppy ride. A weak topline would prevent the horse from flexing the way he would need to. A horse with a weak backend can't get his hocks under him, preventing the elevation of the front end that enables a dressage horse to execute a nice extended trot or flying lead changes. So I guess dressage should not be about height or specific breed but correct conformation and temperment.
Yes, you should plait your horse's mane and tail for lower level dressage. Grooming your horse and plaiting up shows respect to the judges. In higher level dressage, you may not need to, although you should always check with your instructor and the rules of the show. You will see if you watch videos of high level dressage test horses are unplaited and unbraided.
horse dressage is like a performance on horse back where both horse and rider must work in sink to perform. maybe watch some on utube
their is no one horse breed that is not good at dressage. look for a horse that has high comformation and endurance or ask the mods for their help.
