The Dressage team began formally in 2008 and has between 25-30 members each semester. Riders work in their weekly lessons to make the horse supple and attentive to the riders aids. We attend 4-6 Regional IDA horse shows a year competing against Otterbein University, The University of Kentucky, Meredith Manor, Oberlin College, Bethany College, and the College of Wooster.
