Dressage and riding test

Contact: Corrie McLellan

There are four national championships held each year – the novice and intermediate winter dressage championships (indoors), incorporating the medium winter dressage championships, the summer dressage championships and the dressage to music championships.

Winter dressage – this is for teams and individuals and takes place at several levels from prelim to medium. There are two qualifiers (novice and intermediate, with the medium incorporated into one of those) and two championships.

Summer dressage – this is for teams and individuals. The novice team of four all ride prelim tests, whilst the open team consists of three members riding a novice test and one member riding an elementary test. There is also an individual medium competition.

Dressage to music – you need to be a Music Member of British Dressage to compete in these classes.
