Dressage in the Dark

Dressage is one of a few Olympic equestrian disciplines. It consists of obedience work that is brought to the highest levels. In competition, it is quite simply poetry in motion and is often compared to the art of ballet. In 2011, the event emerges with a dramatic twist: Dressage in the Dark. Riders disappeared and horses lit up the ring with tantilizing movement. If you were lucky enough to witness this stellar performance, surely it left your eyes simply sparkling.

Dressage Quadrille

As the name suggests, Quadrille is a square dance for four horse and rider teams. In this unique performance, horses sway and step in sychronicity. Music sets the stage for an artful display of their discipline, aimed at impressing audiences and judges alike. 

Dressage CDI3*

The CDI3* competition includes both the Grand Prix which will be held during the matinee performance. The winners will be showcased during a special performance on the last Saturday evening of the Fair.

If Ashley Holzer's previous performances of her crowd-pleasing choreography with Pop Art had you moving in your seat, get ready to take Dressage to a whole new level!
