Some General Information
- Once you arrive at the competition, report to the secretary’s table, take your passport (if required) and give the secretary your last name. You will receive your number. Please return your number at the end of the day when picking up your tests. When you return your number you will receive your passport.
- Check the score board and day sheets. Note your time and which horse you follow in your classes. Put your rider number on your saddle pad or bridle. This number must be on the horse at all times when outside their stall.
- Lunging is allowed in the designated area only.
- Listen for the announcer to announce who is in the ring and who is on deck. Proceed to the on-deck area when the rider you are following is in the competition ring. Note: you do not have to ride before your scheduled time. However, if you are ready and wish to proceed this helps to keep the show running. Test callers can be used if desired and are arranged by the competitor.
- After completion of all your classes, return your number to the secretary and pick up your tests, passport, and freestyle CD (if applicable). Note: Tests cannot be returned until the class is completed and placed.
Dressage Competition Etiquette
The following are a few helpful suggestions to make a dressage competition fun and enjoyable for officials, fellow competitors, volunteers and landowners.
- If you must scratch from a class or the competition, please call the show organizer or secretary or tell a fellow competitor or volunteer, to notify the secretary at the show.
- If your horse is misbehaving or comes up lame in the ring forcing you to retire, stop, face the judge and salute before leaving the ring.
- Horses should be braided and clean, with clean tack and saddle pads.
- Warm-up is to be conducted in designated areas only. Please use the warm up ring for mounted warm up work and the lunging area for unmounted warm-up.
- Please do not leave your horse unattended at a trailer.
Warm-up ring:
- left hands meet when passing other riders.
- coaching in the warm up area is to be done with coach outside the warm up ring.
- beginners should have the right of way over advanced riders.
- horses acting up will be removed from the warm up ring. (The steward can ask a misbehaving horse to leave the warm-up ring for the safety of the other competitors)
