Pro Horses category
The Pro Horses category is the 3rd category of Artistic Dressage; it has only one rider level:
- ADULT: from 15 years old.
It is the category riders aspire to: here the rider rides without a whip. The movements remain free, and it is the rider who chooses to enter it.
It is a horse able to perform High School movements such as piaffe, passage, tempi changes and pirouettes.
It also shows movements drawn from other riding traditions - for example spins from Western riding, jumped pirouettes, or vaquera pirouettes from Spanish riding. The trainer's challenge is to combine all the aids so that the horse does not confuse one with another, and can perform them through every transition to make a dance.
Example - Jenny and Abanico
Example - Cécile dances to Flashdance.
