[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 823144, member: 53455"] Dressage is the first phase of a three-day event. Elegant, constrained and utterly indecipherable to the untrained eye (not to mention probably boring, unless you get passionately hooked for life right away!), it looks like the absolute antithesis of what eventing is about... Yet, it is the most important of the three phases, given how the ranking system works. If you come out of dressage in front, you are very likely to win the event... provided of course you make no mistakes in the other two stages: cross-country and jumping. Other riders will never be able to catch up on you, much less get ahead of you, even if they too make no mistakes... Nikon D3S, Nikkor 200-400mm, ƒ/4 G VR II lens.
