One of those
sports that are notoriously
boring for
people who don't do it to
watch. It's
really impressive when you see the
training,
discipline, and
money that's behind it all, but going to a
dressage show is comparable to
watching grass grow,
watching paint dry, or watching
other people play
golf.
And it's pronounced 'dres-SAH-jeh', not 'dress-ij'. If you're ever caught saying the latter by people in the know you could be crucified.
