Faces of
DRESSAGE
Each winter, the majestic sport of dressage is on display here in Wellington, home of the Adequan Global Dressage Festival. Often compared to horse ballet or dancing with horses, the Olympic sport of dressage showcases the grace, beauty and elegance of a horse and rider pair working together as one. But what comes across as effortless in the show ring is really the end result of years of hard work. Dressage is one of those rare sports where riders often get better with age, and the best in the world are here in Wellington to compete, with many of the top riders keeping a keen eye on the upcoming 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. Here, we celebrate all of their hard work and determination in Faces of Dressage 2016, highlighting just a few of the amazing riders you can see in action this winter.
