How is this western version of classical Dressage? I would like to know what are the similarities of this western cowboy and Classical Dressage?

I called this the western version of Classical Dressage because of the subtle communication between horse and rider. The horse is completely paying attention to the rider. The communication is undetectable, because the horse is accepting extremely subtle aids. This is what happens with classical dressage. That is the reason that I said it was the western version of classical dressage.
