Dressage competitions are equestrian events where horse and rider perform a series of predetermined movements, known as "tests," in an arena. The goal is to showcase the horse's training, obedience, and athleticism, as well as the rider's skill and harmony with the horse. Judges score the performances based on precision, grace, and overall presentation. These competitions are often part of larger events, such as the Olympics or FEI World Equestrian Games. Riders compete at various levels, from beginner to advanced, with each level featuring increasingly complex movements. Successful dressage requires extensive training and a deep bond between horse and rider.
