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
