I have been wanting to do dressage for a while now, but I was wandering at what stage in your riding did you go from learning general riding skills to being specialized in one area. I can walk, trot and I am learning the canter, but I have lots of bad habits that I am finding very hard to correct.
Do you have to be able to w/t/c before you go into one area of riding, and would it be a lot more expensive? The stables that I am at say that they can teach competition level dressage, but they always have me in a group with people that are much younger than me and are always wanting to "Jump, Jump, Jump!" and the stables don't seem that keen on having people in private lessons. This is where I go for lessons:

Any thoughts? Should I wait and see where I am in a year or so's time and then think about going onto dressage?
