It was fantastic to have Pam Millar, a British Dressage Registered trainer, to the riding school for our liveries and regular riders, taking a very special dressage lesson 🏇🐴

Described as 'Formation riding is an equestrian sport where a team of riders execute specific movements to music'. We'd say they've done a brilliant job here!

We hope everyone had a lovely lesson 😄

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
