A Dressage horse is a horse that performs dressage. Dressage is a sport that is practiced at the highest levels of competition. It is a combination of riding, jumping, and other equestrian skills. Dressage competitions are judged on how well the rider and horse work together. The rider has to communicate with the horse through subtle cues, and the horse must respond to these cues. The horse is trained to perform certain movements and movements called'reins' and'stirrups' are used to help control the horse.
