Videos, DVD's and CD's can be an excellent way to gain
information, instruction or to keep up on horse shows. Below are some resources (tho I have not tried all of them!)

Excellent selection of commercial instructional and International show videos, ranging
in price from $30 and up. Includes the Olympics and DVD's. Dover Saddlery is a primarily Hunt Seat tack
store.

Covers major Dressage shows (FEI level), including Aachen. Some other shows
like the Andalusian finals.
Tapes that their video company makes of dressage include listing of the marks
for certain movements that are replayed in slow motion. Prices generally around $50 per class final per show, less for
past shows. They run archived copies on rfd-tv every now and then.
