We invite you to explore the time honored practices and techniques included in this new magazine, presented as a collection of thoughts, ideas, training methods and philosophies.  This collection is actually centuries in the making, and available for the first time in a journal to give the serious dressage rider access to information that has been passed down through the ages.

Whereas most dressage magazines in the US and elsewhere seem to focus primarily on the competitive side of dressage, CDJ will focus more on the training than showing, and it will have a wider scope that includes all of the classical European traditions, French (De La Gueriniere as well as Baucher), Portugese, Spanish, German, and the Spanish Riding School tradition of Vienna.  Our main target audience are the countless riders who are primarily interested in the gymnastic development of the horse, the artistic, philosophical and spiritual aspects of dressage, as well as its history, culture and traditions.
