Dressage vs. Art

Quote:
Dressage can be done by a rider in Topper and Tails on a Warmblood, a Cowboy on a Quarter-Horse or a Bedouin on an Arabian, but it cannot be *lived* truly without study, without effort, without principles and without compassion. If the horse doesn’t display self-carriage, freedom of movement (within his genetic ability) and visible enjoyment when performing the exercises, then the Art is surely only happening in the deluded mind of the rider.
