disciplines & pathways
BTSC offers training in two major disciplines of the Olympics. They are dressage and show jumping.
Dressage
Dressage is all about the rider working in harmony with their horse, developing suppleness, flexibility, obedience and athleticism – which ultimately help make a horse more pleasant to ride. Dressage as a concept dates back to 350 AD, and it has its roots in battle – a better trained horse would be more effective and efficient on the battlefield. Over time, this developed into a way of demonstrating horsemanship, as well as the relationship between horse and rider.
