Dressage riders are equestrians who specialize in the art of dressage, a competitive discipline within equestrian sports. This sport focuses on the horse and rider performing a series of predetermined movements, known as "tests," in a controlled and precise manner. The goal is to showcase the horse's training, responsiveness, and the rider's skill in guiding the horse through these movements. In dressage, riders are judged on their ability to communicate with their horse, demonstrating harmony and balance. Competitions can range from local events to prestigious international championships, where riders aim to achieve high scores from judges based on their performance and the horse's gracefulness.
