mestenio_lara asked:

I want to know what challenges I am going to face if I want to train a full-blooded walker for dressage, and what are the differences between gaited dressage and regular dressage? Do they move differently than the classic dressage horses? Do they still trot? Please don’t tell me to consult an expert, already doing that but so far no one knows how to help though I’m still trying. Can’t find any books or websites on it iether….I’m just curious if its physically possible for them to do. Just how versatile are they? And how true is it that any horse can do training level dressage?

tkt117 asked:

Obviously I am new to dressage. My horse has schooled and competed to level 2-3. But I want to do a dressage schooling show in October. I see that I can buy the tests for $25 online, but when I watch You Tube it looks like there is no difference between 2007 and 2008 tests. (At least for the Intro Level B test). Does anyone know? Thanks!
