Can I just say...

I crack up every time I look at the banner. Definitely Dressage with a picture of an awesome cutting horse. Thanks Tuffytown! Your horse is incredible.

Lol, thanks.

And thank the management for allowing her to grace their banner.

Just goes to show you, you don't need to be a dressage rider to join Definitely Dressage!!

Love the picture.

[Paints]

Another vote - wonderful picture!!!!!

[Suzon]

It just seemed like someone's mom trying to convince someone else's mom that the photo is of a dressage horse, and she should know because her daughter rides dressage.

Yes, that's definitely dressage, definitely.

It's a great photo!!!

[Tuffytown]

Well, she does do dressage. It's the basics isn't it? When she was with the cutting trainer I would ride her in the arena with the other trainers there who did arab sport horse and western dressage. They would have their students watch me as we worked on leg yielding, shoulder in, haunches in as an example of how it should be done. This was all interspersed with practicing cow turns and spins.

So she's connected and definitely does dressage.

FWIW, I've watch reiners (which I realize isn't quite what this cutie is doing) and I swear I could tell the ones that had and had not done some basic dressage with how the rider rode and how the horse balanced themselves.

The juxtaposition sort of cracks me up too... Being a graphic designer, the script makes it seem as if someone is writing about the photo of Tuffy's horse.

Boy, is she ever getting lovely by the way, Tuffy. What a wonderful FIND for you! Enjoy, and send in a group of photos of her doing both disciplines. Maybe there's a way for Chancellor to put up a series of photos of one individual Horse of the Month so we'd them doing all their STUFF.
