Is dressage heading in the right direction?

The first time I met Christoph Hess was 20, 30 years ago, when Germany was still a very formal place. So I fronted for my meeting with the Director of Rider Education in the DOKR, suitably tricked out in jacket and tie, to meet this wildly enthusiastic character in an open neck shirt and a pair of jeans. It was the first in an ongoing series of conversations with Christoph, and throughout that time, his enthusiasm has never waned as he has hammered home the principles and practice of correct civilised riding.
