I'm new to the Dressage world. I'm a hunter/jumper so all these fancy french words are new to me. Lol! I am extremely invested in Dressage and I am willing to put in the time, money, sweat, and tears that I'll take to get to the top. So, assuming I'm a fairly adequate rider and would have the horse to take me there (I'm working on that part lol). I would be taking two, one hour private lessons a week and I would also be riding everyday. How many years does it take to achieve excellence in Dressage? I'm at First/Second Level right now btw :)
Please, no one try to talk me out of this, or tell me how hard it is, or tell me how much money it is because I am already aware and I really don't want those kinds of responses. Thank you :)
Answer on Advanced Dressage Riders: How long does it take to get to the highest levels of Dressage?
Normally it takes about 8-10 years of intensive training (several lessons a week on a great horse) in order to make it to the top. It takes about one year per level. I'm glad to see how determined and dedicated you are. I hope to see you at the top someday ;)
