SPORTING EVENTS IN SPAIN

CLASSICAL AND DISABLED DRESSAGE CHAMPIONSHIP

You can discover the keys to this Olympic discipline, based on the co- ordination between the rider and the horse, in a number of cities in Spain. The aim of the sport is to highlight the strength and skill of the horse which should make increasingly diffi- cult movements in response to orders given by the rider.

There are numerous events and official competitions in Spain. For example, one of Spain's most prestigious tour- naments, the Copa de S.M. el Rey de Doma Clásica or King's Dressage Cup, is held in the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid in October and November.
