Circensic Dressage is the art and science of training the Trick Horse or Exhibition Horse and rider.

The concept of  Circensic Dressage is brought to life in Allen Pogue's unique Imagine A Horse presentations. A program of beautiful horses performing above and beyond the ordinary by combining Enlightened Trick Horse routines with the spectacular gaits of circus-style Haute E'cole.

Circensic dressage is a style of horse mastery that preserves the nobility of the horse.
