Ac​kworth & District Riding Club
Dressage & Combined Training - Members Only
Members’ Dressage:
Our members’ competitions are suitable for those who would like to have a go, up to our eager competitive champions.
The atmosphere is always friendly and supportive and yet the aim for best score remains.
Rosettes are from 1-6th place and split into Juniors and Seniors if there are 2 or more of each age group.
We run two types of competitions, Points League and Stressless , both are open to members and non-members.
Most competitions are run with the following order: Intros, P test, Novice test and then Pick Your Own from P, N or E tests. Results are published at the end of each class. Occasionally the riders may pick their times and results are published when the last one in a class has gone.
Closing Date is the Wednesday before the competition.
Volunteers
We are hoping each member who enters will give a short time on the day to help run your competitions, giving the organisers chance to ride their own horses. Please let me know on your entry form if you are able to help.
IF EVERY ONE COVERED ONE EVENT, THEY ALL BE STRESS FREE!
​
The Points League:
The points are accumulated for your scores over the year (see points table/scores below) but it is run like a normal Dressage Competition. The points are as below -Please read the rules below!
*Cost per class
£11.00 for ADRC members
£13.00 for Non Members*
FOR THIS SEASON:
Combinations who have won the ADRC Intro or P level leagues at members’ only competitions in 2022 or the previous 2 years cannot do 2 tests at that level competitively. They may enter one class but the second one at the same level would be deemed to be non-competitive.
For specific enquiries please contact Sheila Rogerson 07780 904857
Stressless Dressage:
These are competitions held throughout the year but they are more relaxed and you can have a go or practice without any need to bath/plait or get dressed up!
A relaxed spin on a normal dressage competition. Correct hats and footwear must be worn, but clothing and plaiting is your choice. Tack must still conform to the usual dressage rules i.e no boots in the ring and correct bits/bridles etc.
