A Dressage Pony is a Human Pony whose specialisation is the performance of structured movement — patterns, transitions and figures — under the direction of a Trainer or Driver. The discipline emphasises precision, posture, obedience to aids and elegance.

Dressage Pony practice developed by adapting the traditions of ridden and long-rein dressage to Human Ponies.

Dressage standards and vocabulary vary between Stables and events. Some are highly formal; others use dressage loosely as a training framework.
