Sometimes it is important to step completely out of the relative comfort of everyday chores in order to support and help a friend. Yesterday was such a day, as Anne Moss and her beauty Goodness Grace were performing at Dressage at Devon. Here is a brief photo essay on preparing for such a competition – hold your cursor over the image for a description.
Dressage competitors on the whole were incredibly intent on perfection. It’s truly a wonder to me how person and animal execute so many routines and steps hopefully without even one prance out of beat or direction. Folks perusing the warm-ups commented dreamily about the previous night’s exhibition show: in the midst of the mist and drizzle (otherwise known as mizzle according to Ms. Moss), the riders and horses performed routines to a beat synchronous with their steps, evidently creating an entirely otherwordly show.
