FAQ 3. What do you mean by dressage?

Well that is probably the hardest question to answer. What do we mean by dressage? Does that mean that if I jump or ride western, or follow natural horsemanship that this "dressage" is seperate from what I do?

NO!

We welcome everyone from every discipline. Dressage in its purest form, in reality means to train. HeartFire is about training, in a way that we respect the natural movement of the horse first and foremost and we don't force anything upon our horses. We refer to HeartFire as being dressage, because in reality dressage provides us with the biggest body of ongoing study and knowledge that has gone on for centuries in the study of the horse.  But that dressage, that training, applies to every rider and every horse and every discipline, if we are to respect the horse and his natural way of going.
