Dressage: a necessary evil

When I first started to prepare for my first event I HATED dressage. Absolutely loathed it. To me it was something to just get through before the fun stuff started. Luckily, Megan is the BEST instructor when it comes to dressage. She also had known Theo for a long time, knew the guy who trained him, and therefore knew exactly how I had to ask him to do things in order to get the intended result. But I still hated it. After a solid month of riding dressage more often than not, being so exhausted after lessons I thought of never walk again, and seeing the changes in the big red boy as he remembered how to carry himself and redeveloped his muscles, you'll never guess what happened. I kind of, just a little bit, started to like dressage :)

Update 9/6/12: I LOVE DRESSAGE! Lol. For real. It's crazy.
