Abstract:	The purpose of this stydy was to analyse the gait changes inyoung horses trained for dressage. An accelerometric device fixed at the sternum measured the dorsoventral and longitudinal acceleration of the riding horse. Fourteen young horses trained for dressage were recorded during dressage tests. They were tested during three years. Eight variables were calculated to quantify the rhythm, the regularity, the symmetry, the longitudinal and vertical activities of each figure of dressage test at trot. A variance analysis tested the effect of the first three yearsof dressage training on the trot variables. It was found that stride frequency decreased significantly (P
