So - how many roads do lead to Rome? I don't know. I don't even know if it is a finite number. But I thing I do know how to see if I'm on the road to Rome - maximizing the dressage potential of myself and my horse in a way that is true to the disciple of dressage. I can look at the others that have traveled this road. Have they gotten to where I want to go and what has been their experience along the way? Have I been a good steward of my horse and his capabilities? A vehicle that has broken down physically or mentally isn't going to get me where I want to go. Did I ask for directions and then listen to what I was told?
The road to Rome is different for each of us. Some prefer to take the highway and others, the more scenic country road. Some will reach a higher level than others, either due to choice or lack of "horsepower" on the part of the horse and/or the rider. Whatever your choices, hopefully, I'll see you in Rome.
