The name "CollectedQuestions" is a play on words (of sorts). In Dressage, "Collection " is a term used when a "horse’s gaits are shortened and raised by bringing the balance rearward to lighten the forehand, thus giving special agility in a limited space."[reference]. CollectedQuestions.com is a place where members of the community can ask and answer questions about Dressage, horses and other riding disciplines.

Confessions of a Barn Husband

I am a horse husband (aka the Barn Hub). I love my wife and I love our horses. Over the last year, I have become just as caught up in the world of Dressage as she is. As someone who (just a few months ago) knew almost nothing about dressage except that: watching horses dance around seemed a somewhat boring way to spend the weekend (and weekday evening and...). Now we're importing a Warmblood from Holland and I'm learning as much as I can. I wanted a place to ask questions and get answers about this sport that has started to become an obsession for our family.

CollectedQuestions.com is just such a place. So, jump in and ask questions. If you know the answer, jump right in and help the rest of us out. This isn't a place for long-winded debate and discussion or endless rumors and gossip, it's just a place to ask and answer questions about Dressage.
