|||
Grand Prix is the highest level of dressage. |
|||
Movements included in Grand Prix dressage tests are: |
|||
*[[Piaffe]]: an elevated trot in place |
|||
*Passage: a movement done at the trot, in which the horse has great elevation of stride and seems to pause between putting down its feet. Described very well like a horse "trotting under water," it takes great strength and training to get a good passage. |
|||
*Extended gaits: Usually done at the [[trot]] and [[canter]], the horse lengthens its stride to the maximum length through great forward thrust and reach. Grand Prix horses show amazing trot exxtensions. |
|||
*Collected gaits (trot and canter): A shortening of stride in which the horse brings its hindquarters more underneath himself and carries more weight on his hind end. Takes a great amount of strength. The tempo does not change, the horse simply shortens and elevates his stride. |
|||
*Flying Changes (one and two tempis): The horse changes leads at the canter every stride (one tempi), two strides (two tempi), or three strides (three tempi). |
|||
*Pirouette: usually done at the canter |
|||
*Half-pass: A movement where the horse goes sideways and forward at the same ime, while bent slightly in the direction of movement. |
|||
Germany is currently the dressage powerhouse of the world. |
