Default Do you think she would Excell at Dressage

Do you think Willow has the conformation for dressage? Any Feedback is greatly appreciated.




She is two, she won't start training untill she is four.

those arnt really the pictures to ascertain conformation from but in general any horse is capable of doing low level dressage.

For a conformational critique, square shots of your horse standing are best. She is beautiful though, what breed?

she deff has the muscle for it! does she have alot of bone? Good bone is great for preventing injuries but denser horses sometimes have difficulty preforming the moves that require greater degrees of flexibility. But, as I said earlier, not only is every horse capable of dressage, Dressage is good for every horse.

I would say she is average in the bone area.

As for why I am asking, I will be taking her with me to a Dressage School in West Virginia, I will be taking Training Level - Gran Prix Dressage. There are no Dressage trainers where I live so I can not ask for the opinion of a Dressage trainer near me.


I personally think she would make a great dressage horse, but I might be biased because I have owned her since she was born. I was going to post more pictures but my Camera broke so I can't. Once again any Feedback negative or positive is appreciated.
