Dressage is a very interesting sport that involves the achievement of specific movements by a trained horse in reply to barely perceivable signals from its rider. It is a very skilled form of riding performed in presentations and competitions and due to this fact, it requires a very proficient rider.
That’s why it is very unusual to see young riders in this kind of discipline. The young girl shown in the video below is a great example that if you are really focused and determined, you can achieve everything you want. Dylan Philipps is just 6-years-old, but she managed to steal everyone’s attention during competition while she was riding her beautiful pony, named Rusty.
As you can see, she is very talented and her mother confesses that Dylan learned to ride before she could even walk properly. Dylan’s mother bought the small pony when she was young and she never would have thought that one day her own daughter will ride him!
She shared a big passion for horses and made sure that her daughter would also be a great horse lover. Dylan left all the crowd amazed by her talent and the way she handled everything at such a young age.
All riders who perform in this kind of discipline know how much work it takes, especially if you are riding a Shetland pony. They are known for being mischievous sometimes and riding them is not a simple thing to do and it demands many skills. Watch the video below for more!
