Hi everyone! On Thursday, Lisa Silentland hosted an event based around Dressage. We all arrived at Jorvik Stables Arena in uniform with some small changes so that we were all at similar speeds, which was important to make the event work for the accuracy of dressage. Here are the following changes that were made: no ribbons, no gloves, no horseshoes and we had to wear the Black Jorvik Bridle, whilst riding our Morgans. Li created some very detailed diagrams that she sent over on Discord before the event, so that we could practice it/understand it before the event started. Here is an example: With a little help from the diagrams, Li taught us the dressage routine in a worded version, with Allison Cloudmore as the group leader. Some of the routine included us splitting into two groups, lead by myself and Alli, and then doing two different circles at opposite sides of the area, and finally trotting to the back/front (which you can see in the diagram above). After a few practices and learning more about the routine, we got the hang of things and learnt everything pretty quickly! Well done to Li for dealing with us and being a great teacher overall. A massive thank you to Li for hosting this fun dressage event, I’d like to see more events in the future from you. - Liz
