Description Selecting the Dressage Horse Conformation • Movement • Temperament Dirk Willem Rosie with commentary by Anky van Grunsven Selecting the Dressage Horse contains a complete description of the ideal dressage horse and what it takes in conformation, movement, and temperament for a prospect to go from the lower levels to Grand Prix. Including discussion of traditional mare and stallion selections and keuring, the common wisdom of world class breeders and trainers, scientific research into equine biomechanics, and a survey of over 200 upper level dressage riders, Rosie analyzes the elements of success and explains the differences (and similarities) between “ordinary” horses and those that become international superstars. With commentary at the end of each chapter by two-time Olympic individual gold medalist Anky van Grunsven, currently the number-one ranking dressage rider in the world.
