Dressage is more about leg aids, i dont know
much about dressage because im only a Jumper.
its reffered to as "Ballet on Horseback" .Its
very calm and peaceful,
but hard to learn.
Cross Country Events are super fun but are also
super dangerous. you and your horse can wear
colored gear, including: helmet covers, colored
polo wraps, any polo color, fun colored
saddle pads, a watch. Cross country jumps
are solid. so if your horse hits a jump it
doesnt just fall down. you can put
grease on your horses legs to help
him slide. The jumps are made of
stone, plants, flowers, wood,
ditches and liver pools. Horses
also have to run through water.
Western Riders are equestrian too! With many
events and disiplines like:
Barrel Racing
Cattle Roping
Pole Bending
They get to wear colored gear with gems, rhinstones,
and funky colors! The riders horse also gets some
blinged gear, like: The saddle, The Reins
the stirrups, you name it! Most
western riders dont wear helmets
they wear hats instead.
