And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Okay....sorry for dumb question number 35....but why? Why do long? Protection from the horse sweat? I've had too many adult beverages to research on my own.....
Dressage. Those are not custom made, fitted, etc., so they lace up... which doesn't take care of the foot, where you need the best fit. Once you've worn custom made riding boots (measured for length, instep, width, heel, etc), it's like perfectly fitted gloves for the feet. At rest, you foot & leg naturally falls into the correct position, heel lower than toe, parallel, not the heel & spurs digging into the horse's side. (those are cheap straps on the spurs).
Dressage is the basis of all riding, High School Dressage (Grand Prix and beyond)... to the beginner, Training Level, is... fun and rewarding, lots of daily work for the horse & rider. (Former Farrier, Judge, Trainer & Instructor).
Horses LOVE to work! Horses LOVE skilled riders/trainers. Horses can do far more than move fast. Dressage is for Horses, to bring out the best in them.

DeleteSimple answer: In Dressage it is for contact to allow leg control.

Chaps for brush protection.
DeleteThey don't show you the zipper on the inside making putting them on and taking them off a bit simpler.
ReplyDeleteGenuine vinyl. Nice.
ReplyDeleteSaddle & Breeches, looks like Hunt Seat or Dressage.
ReplyDeleteLoose fitting gear rubs the legs RAW.
