The discipline above is known as Dressage Haute Ecole or Dressage High School. High School defined as the upper lever of School or Equestrian learning like college. It is an old discipline and it has been defined by a standard with a historical purpose of use in the military. The purpose of "piaffe" and why it was historically trained: The piaffe was originally used in battle to keep the horse focused, warm, and moving, ready to move forward into battle. In modern times the piaffe is mostly taught as an upper level movement in Classical Dressage and as a Grand Prix level movement. Additionally, it is needed to develop the levade and from that the airs above the ground. How long is too long to do a piaffe? I would assume it would depend on how long the battle lasted?
