Dressage: It's Not Exactly Clip-Clop Hip-Hop

"Equestrian Ballet" takes center stage at Dixon Oval this weekend during Dressage at Devon

700 of the best riders and trainers in the equestrian world are putting their best feet and hoofs forward this weekend for Dressage at Devon.

Dressage is described by organizers as "ballet for horses".  It's not the same kind of jumping you'll see during the Devon Horse Show in May. The movement here is much more about subtle moves and body language.

Horses are put threw their paces, which include leading with front legs, back legs, right and left too.
