A sport in which the Germans are the dominant players. Dressage is one of the disciplines in 3-day eventing, but when held as a separate event, the Germans tend to scoop the pool, in addition to being the best at breeding horses specifically for dressage.

Dressage. It's swimming while fully clothed. The scoops are used to prevent drowning.

They have to breed the horses specially to get an intelligence level such that they can handle the scoops. It's also difficult to dress a horse that doesn't understand why it has to wear clothes.

Dear Faldage:horses have always been smarter than a large part of the population. Did you ever hear of a horse dumb enough to bet on a human?
