Mastering The Art Of The Top Hat

2010-05-24T10:37:00.000-07:00

I am proud to announce that I have successfully and elegantly mastered the art of creating the Top Hat.
Each line, each circle, each ribbon edge has been perfectly executed to create the finest custom top hat available to all Dressage Competitors.

In creating the top hat, I found the true reason of wearing the Top Hat in Dressage. It is an metal of honor for all the hard work, focus and dedication devoted to achievement in a goal that one has set for themselves along with their most valued and loved partner. Our horses.

As in training in Dressage,creating the top has had its pains of glory. And, all very well worth it.

Top Hats

I am finding out that the making of a top hat and dressage are even more alike. As in a perfect 20 meter circle, the brim of my top hat has been a challenge today. Getting the wire to bend in my brim is taking more practice than I thought. Being a perfectionist has it's challenges, but the top hat has to be a perfect 10.

I missed being with Tux and Sonnie today. I can't wait to practice more circles tomorrow with them.

What the making of Top Hats and Dressage have in common

I am working on the custom top hat my trainer ordered for her husband. While working on the top hat I realized I have an affinity for line and circles. If the lines on a top hat are not perfect the top hat will be all off. A millimeter off will ruin the hat. My lines all are circular. It is confirmed that I am in the right sport. Isn't it the same for Dressage.

As if Tux was not enough to want to earn my top hat!
