Dressage is when you put a dress on your horse. It's like putting on drag, but for horses. -- Misha Collins
The biggest enemy to the partnership of dressage is impatience and the human nature to dominate other creatures. -- Walter Zettl
The goal of all dressage riding should be to bring the horse and rider together in harmony...a oneness of balance, purpose, and athletic expression. -- Walter Zettl
What are the origins of dressage? Did just, one day, some young horse say to his dad, 'Dad, I don't want to charge into battle...I just wanna dance'? -- Stephen Colbert
Far be it from me to force anyone into either chess or dressage, but if you choose to do so yourself, in my opinion there is only one way: follow the rules. -- Lars von Trier

When one makes sculptures of horses, one remembers all of that great relationship that humans had with them.....Even today one raises horses only for dressage, the races, for the pleasure of horseback riding.

It's very good for you, riding. You know how every model is like, 'I do yoga.'

I horse ride. I find it is the best way to maintain my fitness and stay physical. I have to practise anyway for my equestrian front. I do dressage and schooling too. I also do physical training where I work on my neck and upper body strength. Racing is a high endurance sport and you are in the car for a long time so this area is crucial. -- Liz Halliday
