Smart technology like heart rate monitors for horses and AI-driven gait sensors are driving equestrian sports into the digital age.

This should be interesting. I have felt dressage is easier for a horse than is generally thought, especially the Grand Prix. In parallel, I believe extravagant gaits can be natural and promote the horse’s well being, when not forced on the horse in which case the opposite is true. AI might confirm my theory, or not. For example, is a warmup needed? When extravagant movement is solicited from the horse does this actually harm the horse, especially when it feels fantastically smooth to the rider? For the horse would it be better to ride the horse at a walk only from the stable to the start of the test?

This article is self explanatory and intended for anyone interested in dressage.

There is no “how” in this article, mostly “why” and “what” at a high level. I encourage further reading of the books in the bibliography through the eyes of a beginner AND an expert seeking surprise. Classical dressage is a field of study that has evolved historically and should continue to evolve in its practices based the principals of the horse’s play/courtship instincts.
