FAQs.

Where did the dressage letters originate from?

The exact origin of the dressage markers is not known,
however there is some speculation that they originated from what we now call Germany (previously Prussia) in the 18th Century. Nearly 300 of the king’s horses lived in the Royal Manstall (stable), so letters were used to
signify where grooms would hold certain horses for their specific rider to mount.

When did dressage first go to the Olympics?

Dressage made its debut appearance at the 1912 Stockholm Olympic Games. Only military officers could compete in the sport and was originally based on obedience tests used by the military. It wasn’t until 1936 that the sport evolved into more of the sport we recognise today, and at the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games civilian men and women were allowed to compete in Dressage.

What is the world record for a dressage test?

94.3% is the highest freestyle dressage score, achieved by Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro at the London FEI World Cup at Olympia in 2014. The highest Grand Prix dressage score is also held by Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro from the London FEI World Cup at Olympia in 2014, scoring 87.46%.
