  • 4/1 Can You Have a Ranch Horse and a Dressage Horse?
    Eclectic Horseman Issue #79 Sept/Oct- 4/1 Can you have a Ranch Horse and a Dressage Horse? Over the course of the last ten to fifteen years I have had the amazing good fortune to get to know and study with one our current Master Horsemen, Ms. Bettina Drummond. As a student of Nuno Oliveria, a scholar in the subject of Classical Dressage, and a perpetual seeker of a deep relationship with her horses, Bettina’s knowledge is unequalled. In 2012 she came out West with her Quarterhorse stallion to acquaint him with his “Western” heritage and to further her study of the comparisons between Classical Dressage and true Vaquero traditions and training. I had a marvelous time riding the mountains of eastern Oregon, playing with cows, and having long discussions with Bettina in comparing our western horsemanship jobs and relationships with our horses with her background in true Classical Dressage. One of my over-arching goals was to seek an answer to the question of whether or not I could bring along my horses to accomplish the jobs necessary on the ranch, but still adhere to the principles of the Classical Dressage training scale. (i.e. Note these aspects vary slightly in order and have different interpretations given differences in languages: Rhythm, Suppleness/Relaxation, Contact, Straightness, Engagement/Impulsion, and Collection) See articles regarding use of the Training Scale at: www.tnthorsemanship.com/articles Now I am by no means a scholar regarding the bio-mechanics required of the horse/human team to accomplish any job on the ranch or on the dressage court.

The disciplines for each horse are 1. Dressage 2. Trail (Prova) 3. Cattle Work (Team Penning) In the dressage contest the horses had to be good on the rider‘s helpings and react lightly and immediately. No open mouths, no hesitations and a correct position of the head all the time. They had to show galopp coming from walk (no trott or marcha inbetween), stop out of marcha, do sidewalks etc. Harmony of the movements and between rider and horse was very important. Urano de Maripá concentrated in the dressage contest Most horses participating in these contests have been Lusitanos and PREs. It was the first time that Mangalarga Marchadores have been shown in this riding scene in Europe. They all did very well and Patek de Maripá won the dressage contest Urano de Maripá jumping Patek de Maripá even won the dressage contest!
