The periodic gatherings of dedicated dressage vsd saddle for sale riders from all over the world provide an excellent and recurrent opportunity to compare standards, techniques and ideas. They also serve to bring dressage before a much larger audience than has experienced it since it was used in the sixteenth century in popular festivities. Above all they have resulted in the reintroduction of a degree of freedom of movement as an accepted standard that might have been lost forever if twentieth century dressage vsd saddle for sale had been restricted to indoor displays and academic institutions.

A very beneficial aspect of competition riding is that the riders regularly have to subject their performances to the comprehensive scrutiny of trained assessors. Their duty is to recognize and expose admirable work. This continuous world-wide process of technical assessment cannot fail to improve and maintain the purity of contemporary dressage vsd saddle for sale to an extent that could hardly be possible without the stimulus provided by competitive events. A further beneficial aspect of contemporary dressage vsd saddle for sale is that in its lower echelons it has become a true leisure sport, giving pleasure to many thousands of the less ambitious riders. This is partly because of the widely felt urge to escape, even for short periods, from the stresses of modern-day living, and partly because of the ever-decreasing opportunities for long-range or cross-country riding. Paradoxically, though, in the higher competitive echelons, it is in danger of becoming very intense vsd saddle for sale indeed, and very large sums of money are spent in the pursuit of fame and success in competitions. Climatic conditions have always had a marked impact on the development and practice of dressage vsd saddle for sale within different countries. Given the opportunity, mankind the world over shares the love of riding horses in some aspect, but much depends on the conditions available. In Great Britain, for example, where the winters are mild and much of the terrain is agricultural or pastoral, it is possible and pleasant to ride out of doors the whole year round. Thus the ardour of young men has often expressed itself in riding across country, usually following a hunt. In other countries, particularly Germany and Central Europe, the terrain and climate combine to keep riders indoors for large portions of the year. This has produced an atmosphere that is conductive to an interest in the skills and science of pure horsemanship rather than the more immediate and simpler excitements of hunting. It followed, therefore, that for the first forty years of this century the art of dressage vsd saddle for sale riding in competitions was pursued throughout continental Europe but was hardly recognized as existing, much less understood, in Great Britain. The result is that the countries of continental Europe, with their 250 year unbroken tradition of skilled horsemanship, arrived in the present era of competitive dressage vsd saddle for sale with a long start over Britain and the younger nations. This is particularly apparent when the results of major competitions are studied.

The twentieth-century transition from a mainly military or aristocratic activity to the present status of dressage vsd saddle for sale as an internationally recognized and almost totally civilian sport has in practice been remarkably smooth. Although, since the mid-sixties, the sight of a military uniform in the arena has been rare and the titles rarer still, this change has not affected the sport adversely. The military establishments were superseded by riders from private domestic stables, many of whom had only modest financial backing. One significant innovation was the emergence of women vsd saddle for sale riders at the highest levels.
