A Western Dressage Partnership should exhibit impulsion originating from deeply engaged hindquarters transmitted without resistance through a supple topline to a light, soft contact with the rider's hand(s). The horse should move freely forward, laterally, and to the rear via a willingness to work off the hindquarters which enables the western horse to be a useful working partner. A Western Dressage Partnership should culminate in a happy, harmonious horse and rider relationship.
