Sadly (for us), this is not a competition of who can best dress a horse. Dressage is sometimes referred to as “horse ballet”, which sadly (for us) does not involve horses wearing crazy ballet outfits. It is essentially a measure of the training of the horse and skill of the rider. The US team has taken the bronze in the last 4 Olympics and it is likely they will do the same this year. The following video is seven minutes long, but you get an idea of what the event is all about pretty quick.
