This is an Equestrian Educational Event. The New Dressage Test Symposium by Bill Solyntjes USEF S"Judge is sponsored partly through a United States Dressage Federation Grant and organized as an educational event by the Oklahoma Dressage Society and the Great Plains Dressage Chapter. It is a great opportunity to learn about the equestrian discipline called Dressage as a sport and the testing of the levels of training. Dressage is the oldest recorded Equestrian discipline in the world. It is the sport of gymnastics and education for the horse and rider, producing the finest whispering communication between horse and rider and promoting the horse to his very best natural gaits and self carriage. It is art and sport. The oldest Olympic sport where men and women compete completely equally and with an animal as their dance partner.
