What Happened To The Piaffe?

The piaffe is a dressage movement where the horse is in a highly collected and cadenced trot, in place or nearly in place. The center of gravity of the horse should be more towards the hind end, with the hindquarters slightly lowered and great bending of the joints in the hind legs. We are following a series by Blondedressage on TikTok. In this series, she talks about dressage controversies. In this video, she talks about the evolution of the piaffe in dressage. https://www.tiktok.com/@blondedressag... More and more often we are seeing the piaffe as a trot on the spot or rather just a few awkward and uneven steps from the horse before they transition out of it in the grand prix dressage test. Today we look at the evolution of the piaffe then we take a look at 4 grand prix riders working through the piaffe in the grand prix test. You get the chance to be the judge and test your dressage judging skills for the piaffe. Time to have some fun!
