I'm going to western dressage with a 3 yr old mare, and I was wondering f there's anything I need to know before I actually want to do it. Any thing I need to be concerned about?

What is the difference between regular dressage and western dressage? :)

Ok, i have been to many Western Dressage shows.
1. Lots of horses lose it when they are doing lead changes for some reason.
2. You either sit in the saddle like your butt is glued to it or post slightly.
3. It is mostly calm there, personally i think they cheer louder then normal dressage so if you mare is sensative about noise, put earplugs on her or something.
4. People always lunge there horses in the Warm-up arena so watch where you go.

Thats about it, hope it helps!

Not where I show ;) It's honestly the best Egg Salad sandwiches I've ever had.

Just sit back, relax and go for it. I'm assuming you have showed before, it won't be much different from English Dressage.

I'd say just go for it. Lower level western dressage is good for a baby, just don't push too hard. I'd say don't do more than a walk trot or walk trot canter test. No lengthenings, no leg yields, no changes of lead through the trot yet. Keep it easy for her. I'd say have fun and don't take it too seriously to start off... Oh, but thank your judge after your test! They appreciate it. I don't do western dressage, but I know a couple of people who do. I think you'll be fine, and you'll have a better idea of what to do after you get feedback from the judge the first time. It's pretty similar to English dressage overall.

Nothing wrong with starting small lateral movements - worked in a top dressage stable and all 3 year olds recently broken in could leg yield and do shoulder in. It's not pushing them. My unbroken rising 3 year old gelding can leg yield and shoulder in on the ground already.

Oh, I completely agree! I think you misunderstood me. All I'm saying is not to show that level when you're just starting out with a baby. Nothing wrong with very lightly schooling it. :)
