Nova Scotia Dressage

WELCOME TO NOVA SCOTIA DRESSAGE....

INFORMING THE NOVA SCOTIAN AND MARITIME DRESSAGE RIDER!
Nova Scotia Dressage, an information based website, has been going strong since 2008. Realizing at the time that there were no local websites primarily on dressage for the Nova Scotian/Maritime dressage rider, this site was created for the purpose of obtaining easy access for all things dressage, be they local or International. Information is searched on either a daily or weekly basis, with focus on the educational video, for the Maritime dressage rider. Dressage is one of the fastest growing equestrian sports and it is taking off in the Atlantic Canada! Nova Scotia Dressage has also established a popular Symposium Series with the goal of bringing the World's best clinicians to Nova Scotia!
WELCOME TO ALL RIDERS INTERESTED IN DRESSAGE!

~HORSE HUMOR~
is good for the Soul

Dressage training is systematic, structured, and nature-oriented education --- both the teaching and the being taught. Dressage does not mean total submission of the horse, not overtaxing him forcefully, nor getting into useless arguments.

Harmony means sensibility, synchronization, consistency and unison.

"Dressage in harmony" means to solve together a task in such a manner that rider and horse are enjoying the work. Then and only then will you feel the wonderful natural ease and subtle relaxation which every rider seeks in his or her daily work.
