Many people do not know the origins of dressage. It is a French term but the skills date back to the times of knights on horseback and the developments of their riding skills for battle.
The horses they used were heavier than those used in dressage competitions today. They had to be because the weights they carried were considerable. A man dressed in metallic armor was not well placed for the finer arts of riding and so his communication with his steed had to be both minute and precise. And so the skill of dressage was born whereby the rider was able to make his horse do great feats with very little outward signs from the horseman.
When you think about it, a horse had to be able to turn quickly and respond immediately if his rider was not going to be disadvantaged and vulnerable in battle. Once a military charge had degenerated into one-on-one fighting it was invariably the better horseman who came out on top.
Dressage today has its own saddles and uniform. It is all very smart and very competitive. But without really understanding where the sport came from, something is removed from the fullness of enjoying it. Men have always been ingenious in finding ways to better their skills which are also fun, and dressage saddles today contribute to that in no small measure.
Below we have a catalog of dressage saddles and other equipment which are readily available for buy now. We hope you enjoy what is there and are quickly able to find what you want.
