If that is all you have then make use of it but perhaps not too often? At the same size as the arena you will be competing in it will be useful for the 'finishing touches'. There are a lot of dressage movements you can practice while out exercising, upward and downward transitions, halt (at junctions and on quiet lanes), rein-back (definitely on a quiet lane!) and driving straight lines (focus on an object ahead and drive straight at it). You can also practice part of a circle by making sure your horse is bending correctly when driving round corners or into/out of side roads. However, do be aware at all times of other road users! Good luck. | ||

Is it a good idea or a bad idea to drive in his grazing field? Its about the size of an 80x40 dressage area so ideal in that way to go through the tests but I know his field should be a place to relax. What do you think? |
