Developing Home-Grown Horses
 
As I once described the difference between recreational riding
and the process of dressage and combined training:
"Oh but its fun...the difference between driving a Ford Escort and a
 Ferrari...the process is really an artistic one too, seeing the transformation
of a gawky young horse into a Prime Dressage Beast with  Power Everything."
