Why not? I am currently switching over from dressage to western on my Dutch Warmblood.
It takes time to retrain but it can be done. Just don't let any dressage training go to waste. It is very helpful in any discipline.

∙ 12y agoFor this you need to take into consideration both your and your horses preference. Some horses really enjoy English work, jumping, cross-country, dressage, but some absolutely hate the contact, jumping, etc. It can go the other way too. Some horses love doing western work, chasing cattle, barrel racing, reining, others hate it. So, you should not only think about whether YOU like English or western, but also does your horse like it? Many people look over their horse, and so the horse in unhappy and may act up in small ways, get punished for it, become more unhappy, and it's a downward spiral.
