Dressage
Dressage is a judged riding test conducted in a rectangular arena.
Riders perform a pre-learned test, where each competitor in a section executes the same routine consecutively. The focus is on demonstrating the rider’s ability to guide their horse or pony willingly and calmly through various movements. Scores, ranging from 1 to 10, are awarded by judges for each part of the test. The winner of the competition is determined by the highest cumulative score achieved by horse and rider.
What Opportunities Do I Have?
Participants in dressage can compete individually or as part of a team at various levels within Pony Club® .
