Dressage
Dressage Information 2011
There is more opportunity than ever to compete in teams this year at all levels. We want to make this fun and accessible to as many people as possible.
So don't be shy come on and give it a go even if you haven't considered it before. It is easier than you think.
BRAND NEW VIDEO DRESSAGE COMPETITION
South Berks PC is excited to introduce a new type of dressage competition which will be run monthly through the year.
Compete from your local outdoor/indoor school or grass arena at a time which suits you, without the trouble of travelling long distances,
dressing up or waiting hours to collect your score sheet/rosette. All tests may be commanded.
What's the secret? Submit a video of a designated test and receive back by post your score sheet marked and constructively commented on by a BD listed judge, (and hopefully a rosette) We will also be running the 'Riders Test' along side each class, see below for details.
It will cover all levels of dressage, from minis to seniors. We believe it will help you improve your dressage skills and confidence at home without having to wait for Dressage competitions, which are few and far between, to get feedback. The regular practice and the filmed test are an invaluable experience for and your pony/horse for when you compete as an individual or in a team for South Berks

There will generally be classes for all levels of competitors.
If anyone wants to compete at any of these events, then it is on a 'first come, first served' basis and teams will be assembled accordingly.
