(/ˈdrɛsɑːʒ/ or /drɪˈsɑːʒ/; a French term, most commonly translated to mean “training”) is a highly skilled form of riding performed in exhibition and competition, as well as an “art” sometimes pursued solely for the sake of mastery. As an equestrian sport defined by the International Equestrian Federation, dressage is “the highest expression of horse training” where “horse and rider are expected to perform from memory a series of predetermined movements.”
Performance Horse Nutrition® (PHN®) was founded in 2002 by Dr. Stephen Duren. The goal of PHN has always been to advance the “science” of feeding horses, and equally important to disseminate that science to our clients in the simplest, most straightforward means possible. PHN prides itself on having trained Ph.D equine nutritionists that are not only scientists, but also horsemen. We understand how to feed horses and our feeds, feeding recommendations, articles and seminars reflect that understanding.
