Members Dressage & Combined Training

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.

We run two types of competitions, Points League and Stressless competitions. Both are members only competitions and The Points League is where you accumulate points for your scores over the year (see points table/scores below) and is run like a normal Dressage Competition, and then we do a few Stressless Dressage competitions throughout the year where you can come and relax and have a go or practice without any need to bath/plait or get dressed up!

Specific queries please contact: Sheila Rogerson 07780 904857

Entries

Entries close the MONDAY prior to the specific competition. UNLESS the entries become full beforehand. So please enter early to avoid disappointment!

Online entries close automatically, but we request that paper entries are made well in advance.

If there is not the minimum of 11 tests entered, then the competition will be cancelled.

'Stressless' Dressage:

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.

Entry fee is £8.50 / class and the competition will start from 2pm.

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 COMPETITION IT WOULD MAKE THE RUNNING STRESS FREE!

Dressage Rules & Points

Dressage= Highest % wins.

Members will receive points for each competition attended, and rider points will be gained by using your % achieved in the class. SEE TABLE BELOW. We hope members will come and support it and see that 'Stressage' isn't so bad!

The member’s only days are aimed at all levels to ‘have a go’ and to build on already flourishing dressage careers. The club has made its mark in other disciplines, and are now featuring in dressage & giving others a ‘run for their money’!
