Does Dressage and Classical Dressage have an age limit of how long you can do Dressage as a career?

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.
