Please could all competitiors ensure they are using the correct tack for these competitions. We use BD tack rules so please check on their website for more details. Incorrect tack used for working in or competition will result in either the rider being disqualified or having to compete HC.  Thanks.

Beginners Dressage.....                                                                                                                     The aim of  the beginners dressage is to encourage novice horse and rider combinations to ‘have a go at dressage’. The rider may be inexperienced at dressage or nervous or be getting to grips with a new horse. The horse may be young, inexperienced or require tack that is not allowed under normal dressage rules. Any tack can be used and a trainer/assistant/friend may help the rider through the test by commenting at the time.
This class is not part of the overall points prizes at the end of the year as it is a stepping stone class and it would be hoped that the combination will soon move onto bigger and better things!
It is only fair to other competitors that, once you have won this class 3 times, you must not compete again in the class as the same combination. Competitors in this class can only compete in the next prelim class.

In Summary:
§         Any tack (for this class only)
§         Outside assistance can be given
§         You can only enter the next prelim also, this is under riding club rules
§         3 wins and your combination is excluded
§         there are no points for this class as it is a training aid
