Do you know much about equestrianism?
Yeah, it is riding horses. Have you ever rode a horse?
I'm actually scared of them, but my daughter rides.  In fact she has a show this Saturday.
Awesome, what kind of show? There is riding, driving, vaulting, etc.
She is going to be in a dressage show.  She's done hunter/jumper in the past, but the horse she has now is a dressage horse.
Dressage
Dressage ( or ; a French term, most commonly translated to mean "training") is a highly skilled form of riding performed in exhibition and competition, as well as an "art" sometimes pursued solely for the sake of mastery. As an equestrian sport defined by the International Equestrian Federation, dressage is "the highest expression of horse training" where "horse and rider are expected to perform from memory a series of predetermined movements."
Competitions are held at all levels from amateur to the Olympic Games
based in Hochfilzen. The Haflinger is also used by the German army for rough terrain work and demonstration purposes.
Today the breed is used in many activities that include draft and pack work, light harness and combined driving, and many under-saddle events, including western-style horse-show classes, trail and endurance riding, dressage, show jumping, vaulting, and therapeutic riding programs. They are used extensively as dressage horses for children, but are tall and sturdy enough to be suitable riding horses for adults.
