First, my daughter, who is the dressage rider in the family, enjoys this magazine. I read it too. However, even after years of watching her lessons and understanding her lessons, this magazine sometimes makes me feel clueless as to the sport of dressage. I just do not understand some of the articles in the least. Not only that, but some of the horses featured are so expensive and some of the people have so much wealth, that it feels like a sport that is only for the rich and famous. Granted it is a beautiful sport. Done properly, horses and riders can excel even in "old" age. I have noticed recently that this magazine as well as the sport of dressage, have been making improvements so more people can participate in it and enjoy the benefits.

Pros: technical

Cons: stuffy

This was another magazine in the box we were given. Although we decided not to subscribe to this one at this time, we did find a good magazine with very informative articles. It is more geered toward exactly what it says so if that is your discipline it is a good one. It didnt apply to us right now but we will keep it in mind when my daughter advances

Pros: great articles and photos

Cons: none

Love this magazine, it has unique and interesting articles from professionals. Always good pictures to illustrate the points. The article on the last page always offers a neat idea of how to visualize certain aids.

Pros: great articles, good pictures

Cons: not enough

I like this magazine alot. Unfortunately I don't get it in the mail and only have a few issues. But the ones I have are great! Lots of information including how to ride different movements haunches in, pirouette,ect. Can be pricey to buy in store. But its probably cheaper to get a subscription.

Pros: It has good advice

Cons: $$

I'm not a dressage rider per se, but I always learn something new each month from this magazine. There are articles with varying levels of difficulty - so there is something of interest for everyone.

Pros: Good Writing - Get Inspired to Ride Better

Cons: I never have the time to read it all
