WELCOME TO NOVA SCOTIA DRESSAGE.... INFORMING THE NOVA SCOTIAN  AND MARITIME DRESSAGE RIDER! Nova Scotia Dressage, a privately developed website, has been going strong since 2008. Realizing at the time that there were no local websites  primarily focused on dressage for the Nova Scotian/Maritime dressage rider, this site was created for the rider to obtain easy access for all dressage listings, be they local or International. Information is searched on either a daily or weekly basis allowing easy access for the Maritime dressage rider. Dressage is one of the fastest growing equestrian sports and it is taking off in the Maritimes!  Saluting you at X! Always updating on NSD FB. Check out the Friday Questionnaire of the week! Join in the discussions on relevant topics happening in the world of dressage! Twitter is used for thoughts and clinic/Symposium announcements. Connect with NSD on Barnmice.

"Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed." - Ralph Waldo Emerson WOW! Check this site out! For a very reasonable annual membership fee you can download all the dressage or eventing tests with easy to understand diagrams! Best of all is the animated read through of each test!

Horse humor......              is good for the Soul _ I went riding today. Horseback? Sure. It came back before I did. A cowboy walked up to a priest and offered to buy his horse. The priest agreed, and told the cowboy to make the horse go say"Praise the lord" and to make the horse stop say "Amen." The cowboy got on the horse and yelled, "Praise the lord." He and the horse started out through the valley. They were then nearing a cliff, and if they went off the cliff both of them would be dead. The cowboy, in a panic, forgot the words to make the horse stop so he shouted words he thought might work, "Prayer, Lord, God, Savior." None of these words worked and they were getting closer to falling off the edge. The cowboy suddenly remembered the words. He shouted "Amen" and the horse went to a stop. One more step,and both the horse and cowboy would have been dead. Breathing a sigh of relief, the cowboy shouted "Praise the Lord!!!!"
