Riding the test

Rules

Tests should be ridden and will be judged under the rules of the relevant governing body. These can be seen online:

Some modifications have been made to suit judging online and these are listed below. Every eventuality may not be provided for in the following but in any unforeseen or exceptional circumstance, Dressage Anywhere will make decisions in the sporting spirit in which this company is run. Dressage Anywhere reserves the right to amend these rules at short notice and it is advisable to check them on a regular basis.

Videos of tests must not be entered if they have already been judged in another competition. Any video which is suspected of having been filmed during another competition will not be accepted. In these circumstances no refund will be offered. For this reason if a show jacket or hacking jacket is worn, then the horse or pony must wear boots or bandages.

The videographer must stand behind C on the edge of the arena so the rider enters the arena at A riding towards the camera or judge. It may be necessary to move the letters or display temporary ones if space or sun dictates it.

Videos can be uploaded directly to www.dressageanywhere.com or YouTube. If uploading to YouTube you must e-mail the link to info@dressageanywhere.com before the competition closing date. Videos can also be posted on a CD, DVD or memory stick. Please contact Dressage Anywhere to request postal information.

Judges decisions are final. No communication or discussion will be entered into by Dressage Anywhere, any of its representatives or the judge involved.

Copyright laws must be adhered to when submitting any video footage or photographs or printed material. Dressage Anywhere will not be liable for any costs incurred as a result of infringement of copyright laws by any competitor or 3rd party.

Entries

Any rider is free to register and enter a Dressage Anywhere competition and does not need to be a member of the relevant body but juniors of 16 years of age and under must have parental permission.

Acceptance: Making an entry for a Dressage Anywhere competition constitutes acceptance of the Rules and Terms & Conditions of Dressage Anywhere.

Horses and ponies can be ridden by more than one rider.

Horse and rider combinations may not enter a class more than one level below their highest entry in a competition class up to Medium, e.g. an Elementary combination may not enter a Preliminary class. This does not apply to the Practice Test Classes where any combination may 'practice' any level.

Sound must be recorded to ensure competitors are not receiving coaching during their test.

Entry fees will not be refunded once an entry has been accepted.

Further entries and videos may be submitted in a class once an entry has been judged and the score displayed. This will be at a further entry fee. In those cases, only the highest scoring entry will be shown and counted for a prize or rosette.

Dressage Anywhere reserves the right to refuse an entry without stating a reason.

Pricing and cancellation policy

Entry fees: Entry fees and prize money for classes are shown in the schedule. Pricing may be subject to change from month to month. Please refer to the schedule for details.

Video quality: If the quality of a video is considered too poor to be judged, the competitor will be given the opportunity to submit a further video without charge.

Refunds will not be made except in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the management. Such cases will be dealt with on an individual basis.

Late entries: The closing date for each competition is 23:59hrs on the last day of the month. After this time entries and videos cannot be received and no refunds will be made.

Rosettes and prizes

Rosettes and prize money will be generally awarded as per the British Dressage rules. These state that: Rosettes will be awarded to placed riders based on the number of starters for a given class and based on the scale below. One placing for each four starters. For example, if a class has 1 to 4 entries then a 1st place rosette will be given and so on.

# of entries Highest placing
1-4 1st
5-8 2nd
9-12 3rd
13-16 4th
17-20 5th
21-24 6th

Prize money or type of prize, if in kind, will be stated in the schedule. In the event of entries falling below the minimal scale (as shown in the table below) the number of prizes will be reduced.

# of entries Prizes
5-8 entries 1st
9-12 entries 2nd
13-16 entries 3rd

Prizes and rosettes will be sent to prize winners by post following completion of judging and the publication of results. When the prizes are in cash (or a third party gift voucher cannot be used in the winner’s country) the prizewinner has the option of choosing a voucher to go towards a future Dressage Anywhere entry.

Acceptable dress and tack

Dress can be informal but tidy, if a show jacket or hacking jacket is worn, then the horse or pony must wear boots or bandages to clearly demonstrate that the test has not already been judged.

Riding hats must be worn. BSI Standard hats or other such protective headwear is strongly advised and compulsory for those under 18 years of age. Suitable footwear with a heel and gloves must be worn for safety reasons.

Gloves must be worn.

Bridles should be used as follows: For British Dressage Walk and Trot (Introductory) and Preliminary to Novice tests – ordinary snaffle; Elementary and above – ordinary snaffle or double bridle. Nosebands must be worn, a drop, cavesson or flash with a snaffle or a cavesson with a double bridle. Grackle nosebands may only be worn in British Eventing and Pony Club tests.

Other tack: martingales, side, running or elasticised reins may not be used.

Neck straps may be used up to and including BD Preliminary tests. Cruppers are allowed.

Boots or bandages are allowed to be worn.

Spurs and a whip may also be used. Whips may not be used for British Eventing tests.

Riding the test

Commanders may be used except for British Eventing or FEI Eventing tests.

Salutes should be made with reins and whip (if carried) in one hand and the free hand lowered to the rider's side and the rider should nod their head. Gentlemen may remove and lower their hat with their free hand before nodding.

Trot sitting or rising (or a mixture of both) may be ridden in all British Dressage tests up to and including Elementary and all Pony Club tests. Sitting trot should be ridden in FEI unless stated otherwise on the test sheet.

Errors: When a competitor makes an error of course - takes the wrong turn, omits a movement, etc. 2 marks will be deducted. If the movement is not performed then a mark equal to the average of the collectives marks is given as well as deducting 2 for the error. If the competitor makes an error of test - trots rising instead of sitting or at the salute does not take the reins in one hand - he must be penalised for error. If 3 errors of course are made the competitor will be eliminated.

Further details pertaining to riding the test can be found in British Dressage Notes on Interpretation of Dressage Sheets in the BD Rule Book 2011 (pages 51-2).

Also, see Principles of Dressage for further definitions of paces and movements.
