Campbell, a junior biomedical
science major, competed in dres
sage shows against more than 40
Texas contestants throughout the
year to amass the highest percent
score on her level.
Dressage is horsemanship in
which the movements of the rider
and the horse are harmonious,
Campbell said.
Dressage develops the horse’s
physique and his ability to be obe
dient, calm and flexible.
This riding style developed in
Europe.
Campbell said dressage is disci
plined and conservative horse

hunting boots, white britches,

ing cap to participate.
The dressage test, a pattern of
15 to 20 separate moves, begins
when the rider trots the horse into
the arena and stops, taking the
reins in one hand and letting the
other arm drop to the side. The
rider then bows to the judge,
Campbell said.
Each horse is entered at his
level of ability, Campbell said,
and is judged on each movement
in the five-minute test.
Dressage is working a horse at a
walk, trot and a canter in a series of
bends and flexes, Campbell said.
Campbell said dressage concen

good as it can. Cues should not be

Campbell has been training
Chunky for three years.
Chunky first had to learn to re
lax while performing at a walk, trot
and a canter, Campbell said. The
horse’s whole body must bend
through the spine.
Chunky then learned to re
spond to leg signals, Campbell
said. Most cues are given with the
legs, not the hands.

Campbell said she has ridden
many horses, but none of them
were as talented as Chunky.
The Clydesdale-thoroughbred
gelding was bred and is owned by
her sister, Campbell said. Camp
bell brought Chunky to Texas
A&M with her during her sopho
more year.
Campbell, 20, has been riding
and taking lessons since she was 7.
She began dressage when she was
16.
Although dressage requires a
lot of time and money, Campbell
plans to continue her hobby, she
said.
“There is no money involved in
dressage competition, but I get
pleasure from training a horse to
compete and it’s a personal chal
lenge,” Campbell said.
Campbell, who wants to be
come a veternarian, goes to
Equestrian Park daily to work
with Chunky.
Campbell said, “Rather than
waste two hours a day watching
television I’m doing something I
like and the horse gets something
out of it.”
Campbell spends those hours
six days a week at the stable work-

said.
Campbell said she participates
in \JL0 to 15 shows yearly.
Chunky’s expenses are about a
$40 per month feed bill, veterin
ary bills and a $50 a month board
ing fee, which she works in the
summer to pay for.
