Do YOU Ride Dressage?

If YOU are a Dressage rider or, you have a friend that is a dressage rider then this is THE gift to get for them this year.   Yes, I like to show and once and a while get all dressed up in to their show attire to compete at a certain level of skill against other competitors. But the majority of the time, I'm schooling and just riding my horse, maybe getting a lesson or are attending a clinic. These are the rides when I LOVE to wear comfortable t-shirts and THIS is one of my favorite Tees.  With the awesome embroidered graphic that symbolizes elegance, precision and skill - yes "iDressage".   I really love wearing it. It is long enough to stay tucked in and is nice and soft to wear and it comes in Black... my favorite color.  Funny, I ride better when I wear this Polo T-shirt.   dressage horse tee
