Chairmans
Address
Dear Member,
I’m delighted to be introducing our new Members Handbook.
We hope that you find the enclosed information helpful and informative.
The handbook incorporates our normal rules and a lot more! This
expanded offering reflects our growth as an organisation including new
initiatives and services such as Team Quest, and our Equine Helpline run by
Harrison Clark Rickerbys.
I am proud of our efforts to create an inclusive sport – we have something
for all dressage enthusiasts, regardless of the level of rider, or type of
horse or pony. For example, we will soon be launching a series for veterans
(horses and riders). Or perhaps you support us as a volunteer or in an
official capacity – for which we are very grateful.
If you are new to our family, then welcome! We hope you experience us as
welcoming, transparent, and committed to improving standards in
dressage.
Please continue to provide us with your feedback and suggestions on all
matters relating to British Dressage.
Thank you for being a member of our special club.
Best wishes,
Penny Pollard
BD Chairman

BD Competitions
BD Affiliated Dressage Competitions are those allocated by BD and held under the rules
contained in this book.
BD Rules
These rules are intended principally for use in connection with National Dressage
Competitions, relating to all competitions affiliated to BD. However, the Rules do not only
relate to National Competitions; some rules, particularly with regard to conduct and
discipline, are effective at all times and in any circumstance with regard to BD members.
Every eventuality cannot be provided for in these Rules. In any unforeseen or exceptional
circumstances the relevant officials have a duty to make a decision in a sporting spirit,
approaching as near as possible the intention of these Rules and to protect the reputation of
the sport of dressage in the UK and the welfare of the horse.
Amendments or changes to the rules in this book may be published in ‘British Dressage’
(which is published 8 times per year) and the BD website.
Failure to comply with any published rule changes will be considered a breach of these rules.
Only queries relating to this rule book that are submitted and answered in writing by an
authorised member of staff will be binding on BD.

Members Code of Conduct
Code of
Conduct
No member of British Dressage shall:
a) Conduct them self at a show in a manner which is offensive to the public.
b) Argue at a show with a Judge or with an official or use abusive or threatening language or
behave with incivility or contempt towards a Judge or official.
c)
Illtreat in any way a horse or pony under any circumstance.
d) Misuse or use excessively a whip or spur.
e) Deliberately use the action of the bit as a means of punishment and/or misuse any item
of saddlery in a manner likely to cause pain or discomfort to the horse or pony.
f)
Allow knowingly or otherwise a horse or pony for which he is responsible as owner,
lessee, authorised agent, or rider to compete in any dressage competition under the
influence of a prohibited substance. Such member shall be in breach of this rule if the
analysis of a sample taken from the said horse or pony shows the presence in its body
fluids of any quantity of any substance, which is either a prohibited substance or one of
its metabolites or a substance which cannot be traced to normal and ordinary feeding
and which by its nature is likely to affect the performance of the horse or pony in
competition.
g) Unreasonably refuse to allow a horse or pony which has competed or is about to
compete in a dressage competition to undergo any properly authorised test or
examination if requested to do so by an officer of British Dressage or the show
organising committee. Refusal to allow a test for a forbidden substance constitutes a
violation of the prohibition on forbidden substances and as such is of equal gravity to the
finding of a forbidden substance.
h) Conduct them self in a manner which is or may be in breach of the Memorandum and
Articles of Association or any rule, regulation or bylaw of the Association. A member
shall be in breach of this rule in the event that any person who assists, represents, or acts
on behalf of or in the employment of such member during the course of a show affiliated
to British Dressage, to the FEI or to any foreign national federation, conducts himself in
such a manner that were they a member of British Dressage they would themself be in
breach of any of the provision of any rules.
i)
Conduct themself in a manner detrimental to the character and/or prejudicial to the
interests of British Dressage.
j)
Make, either orally or in writing, to an officer of British Dressage or of an affiliated show
or a third party, a statement on any matter covered by the rules which he knows to be
untrue.
k) Compete as owner or rider in a competition for which the horse or pony and the rider are
not fully eligible.
l)
Exercise any of the rights or privileges of membership while suspended there from, nor
assist represent or act on behalf of any other member of British Dressage at a show
affiliated to British Dressage, to the FEI or to any foreign national federation while
suspended from all rights and privileges of membership.
m) Compete as a rider in any competition while under the influence of a prohibited
substance.
n) Unreasonably refuse to give a sample of his or her body fluids for the purpose of control
of prohibited substances.
8
p) Paragraphs a, c, d, e, h, i, j, m, n, p and q of this rule shall apply in any circumstance
whether or not the offence or offences occur at a show.
Code of
Conduct
o) Allow a stallion for which he/she is responsible as owner, lessee, authorised agent, or
rider to compete or be prepared to compete, in any dressage competition without taking
adequate precautions to ensure other members of the public are not put at risk of injury.
q) Members shall not behave in a way which may be considered inappropriate to members
of BD staff. Inappropriate behaviour includes the use of foul language or acting in an
intimidating or threatening way.
r)
Members shall not unfairly discriminate on the grounds of race, colour, religion or belief,
disability, sex, marital status, age, sexual orientation, nationality and ethnic or national
origins.
s)
Members shall not post inappropriate words or images on social media that can be
deemed offensive, intimidating or threatening to other members, show organisers,
officials and BD Staff.
Complaints of misconduct
Any person wishing to make a complaint of misconduct by a member must do so in writing to
the Chief Executive who will refer it to the Disciplinary Sub Committee, if after preliminary
investigation he/she considers that a prima facie case of misconduct exists.
Anyone seeing an incident which they may wish to report, where possible, should note the
time, place, names etc. and try and find additional witnesses. They should approach the
Steward, Organiser or Senior Judges on site who should inform the individual concerned of
the complaint. Every effort should be made to ascertain the condition of the horse and
whether it has been marked by bit, spur or whip. All evidence should be written down and
submitted to the Chief Executive.
A decision to prosecute a complaint against a member will be in the sole discretion of the
Chief Executive and/or Disciplinary Sub Committee. The complainant will be required to give
evidence on behalf of British Dressage if such decision is taken but shall take no further part
in the proceedings other than as a witness.
Notice of complaint
As soon as practically possible after receipt of a complaint against a member, and the Chief
Executive considering it appropriate to refer the complaint to the member, a letter
identifying the date, venue, and nature of the complaint shall be sent to the member with
any other supporting evidence as the Chief Executive deems appropriate.
The accused member shall be given opportunity by the Chief Executive to respond to such
complaint. Upon receipt of such response the Chief Executive shall decide whether to
proceed with the complaint pursuant to summary powers or refer the complaint to the
Disciplinary SubCommittee for a hearing.
In the event that the Chief Executive decides to proceed with a Disciplinary SubCommittee
hearing copies of all the evidence gathered by British Dressage in support of the complaint
shall be delivered to the accused member in advance of the hearing.
Notice of the time and place of the Disciplinary SubCommittee meeting will be sent to the
member against whom a complaint has been made at least three weeks before the date of
such hearing unless in exceptional circumstances it is not possible to give notice less than 3
weeks when a shorter period of notice shall be given.

Regional
Structure
BD Regional Structure
The country is divided in to eight regions. Each
region has a dedicated Regional Development
Officer (RDO).
The RDOs work closely with and under the
technical guidance of the voluntary Regional
Committee which includes a Chairman and
representatives for coaching, rider training,
judges, para dressage, marketing, members
and BYRDS. In turn, the RDO and the Regional
Committee work under the direction of the
Board and Technical Committees.
Members are allocated a region based on their
address registered with BD, however if they live on
or close to a border of two regions may opt to be in
a different region to that of their address.

Section 1
SECTION 1
1. Agreement to be bound by the rules
a) All members of British Dressage (BD) are bound by the Memorandum and Articles of BD,
together with the rules, regulations and byelaws made under them. Decisions of the
Board and other delegated authorities of BD in connection with the rules, regulations
and byelaws are final and binding. Members are responsible for ensuring they are
familiar with the Rules.
b) The Rules and Annexes contained in this book are in force at the date of publication. Any
amendments by BD are enforceable on the date of publication (unless otherwise stated
in the notice of amendment), provided that notice of such amendment is published in
one or more of the following media:
British Dressage Magazine
Show Organisers and Officials Newsletters
British Dressage Website – www.britishdressage.co.uk
c)
By signing an Affiliation Agreement, Show Organisers are considered members of BD
and are bound by all BD rules, regulations and byelaws and any published Code of
Conduct. Additionally, they agree to abide by and observe the decisions of the Board
and delegated authorities and committees of BD. Show Organisers are responsible for
ensuring that they are familiar with the Rules, Code of Conduct and any amendments
made to them.
d) It is understood and agreed by members that any photographs (and/or film footage)
taken at a BD affiliated show or activity by an official photographer may be used by BD
for security and/or promotional purposes without payment. Under 18s consent will be
covered by the photo consent form contained in the BD Child Protection Policy.
2. Acceptance of rules
Becoming a member of BD and making an entry for an affiliated dressage competition
constitutes acceptance of these Rules. Owners and riders must ensure that horses and
riders are eligible to compete in the classes for which they are entered. Any dispensation
from these Rules is only valid if in writing.
3. British Dressage membership
Only members of BD may ride in affiliated competitions or register as the owner of a
horse/pony, except for those entering using a class ticket or where the class permits to
ride with associate membership.
Applications for membership are to be made on the approved form and submitted to the
BD office. They may also be made online at www.britishdressage.co.uk. Applications
must be accompanied by the appropriate fee.
BD reserves the right to decline any application for, or renewal of, membership without
stating a cause.
14
BD subscriptions run for twelve months from the date of joining, except for Winter
membership which runs from 1 October – 31 March and Trial membership which runs for
6 months from the date of registration and is only available to those who have never
been a member of BD previously.
BYRDS and Team Quest Club membership only entitles members to compete in
Preliminary classes and in Team Quest competitions. Those with a BYRDS or Team Quest
Club membership who qualify for an Area Festival or Regional Championship must
upgrade to a full member in order to compete.
Riders must be a minimum of associate members to compete in Introductory or
Preliminary open sections, and their horse must hold an associate horse registration.
Should they wish to compete in Preliminary restricted sections the rider must be a paid
member or compete on a class ticket.
British riders not residing in the UK who compete in national competitions outside of the
UK must have written permission from BD to do so and be a full member of BD.
Music membership entitles riders to compete in freestyle to music qualifiers with a
registered or associate registered horse. Horses must be fully registered to compete in
Music Regional Championships. All riders competing in freestyle to music competitions
must sign a PPL licence. Class tickets may not be used to compete in music classes as
BD membership is required for PPL licensing.
Section 1
Only members of BD and organisers of affiliated competitions are covered by the
insurances provided by BD (see annexes for full details).
4. Age of members
There is no upper or lower age limit. Members are responsible for ensuring they are fit to
compete.
5. Class tickets
BD members on nonregistered horses, and nonmembers on registered or non
registered horses can purchase class tickets at £8 each. Each ticket enables them to
enter one affiliated class. Holders of class tickets must also pay the entry fees and are
subject to the BD Rule Book. Class tickets may be used at any level (except music
classes) provided the rider is eligible to compete in the class entered.
Those riding on a class ticket are eligible to win prize money and rosettes but will not
earn grading points or qualify for Championships other than Area Festivals.
6. Horse/Pony registration
Before competing in an affiliated dressage competition, a horse or pony must be
registered with BD (except for Introductory and Preliminary open classes where horses
may have an associate horse registration). There is no lower height limit for registration
but horses/ponies must be four years old or over to compete. BD reserves the right to
refuse registration.
For Preliminary restricted, Music, Young Horse and Para Equestrian classes, horses must
be registered either fully or have associate horse registration. The latter is free of charge
and allows BD to record a horse’s details and results. An Associate member may register
an associate horse.
15
Section 1
Full registration for horses and ponies runs for 12 months from the date of registration
(with the exception of Winter/Trial). If a horse’s registration has lapsed for more than
one month, any points or qualifications gained since lapsing will not be allocated.
A horse that has been subject to a loss of use insurance claim may be registered provided
that it is sound and sufficiently fit for competition.
The legal owner/s of horses and ponies registered with BD must also be members of BD
because, where the stated owner of a registered horse/pony is not the legal owner, this
could invalidate the liability insurance under the BD policy.
Registrations are accepted on the understanding that the person making the registration
is the bona fide owner, part owner or authorised agent of the horse or pony registered.
BD accepts no responsibility in cases of disputed ownership, which must be settled by
the parties concerned. BD may suspend registration of the horse or pony until such time
as the dispute over ownership is settled.
Mares may not compete after their fourth month of pregnancy or with a foal at foot.
7. Names of Horses and Ponies
Horses/Ponies must be registered with the same name as the name shown on their
registered national breed society or FEI passport. The only exceptions are as follows:
•
The name of the horse/pony can be changed if the name on its passport is formally
changed by the issuing authority; the owner must send the relevant pages of the
new amended passport to BD for verification. The fee for change of name is £30.
•
A horse registered with a different name to that on the passport prior to the
implementation of this rule in 2010 may keep the registered name. However, if the
owner wishes to change the registered name to match the name on its passport, this
can be changed free of charge.
•
If the horse/pony’s name has not been entered on its national breed society passport
the owner can choose the horse/pony’s name, enter it direct onto the passport and
inform the passport issuing body of its name. This name will be linked to the
horse/pony’s unique identification number shown on its passport.
•
A suitable prefix or suffix (not shown in the horse/pony’s passport) may be added for
a fee of £30.
•
If the horse/pony is subsequently registered with the FEI, the chosen prefix may not
be permitted and the horse/pony must be named according to FEI rules.
•
If a horse/pony changes ownership/sponsorship the prefix/suffix can be removed and
the horse/pony can revert back to its original name unless the national breed society
passport has also been changed. There is no charge for this.
8. Age of horses and ponies
The age of a horse/pony is taken from 1 January in the year in which it was born. The
minimum age from which a horse may compete is 4 years old. Horses competing at PSG
level and above must be at least 7 years old. Horses competing at Grand Prix must be at
least 8 years old.
9. Pony Height Certificates
Ponies may be registered and compete on equal terms with horses in all affiliated
competitions, with a rider of any age. Grading points will be awarded in the normal manner.
16
Riders should ensure that their ponies are used to being measured and within the current
height limit, as they are liable to be measured if they travel to International
competitions, and will be measured at the Pony European Championships.
10. Equine Influenza Vaccination
A valid passport must accompany the horse to all competitions and be produced on
request; failure to comply is a disciplinary offence and will debar the horse from
competing at the event for which it has been entered. A horse will not be permitted to
compete unless it has a current vaccination against equine influenza which complies with
the following conditions:
•
An initial course of two injections for primary vaccination, not less than 21 days and
not more than 92 days apart, are required before being eligible to compete;
•
A first booster injection must be given between 150 and 215 days after the second
injection of primary vaccination;
•
Subsequent booster injections must be given at intervals of not more than one
calendar year, commencing after the first booster injection.
•
The full course or booster must have been administered at least 7 days before the
competition.
Ponies which attend Pony Squad training will be measured by the Team Vet at one or
more of their sessions. Copies of valid Height Certificates for all ponies entered for
Selection Trials must be submitted with their entries.
Section 1
Ponies are not required to obtain FEI Height Certificates for their FEI Passports.
However, ponies must have current JMB Height Certificates for National competitions.
The Record of Vaccination(s) in the horse’s passport, in which the record of injection(s) is
completed, signed and stamped line by line, must be completed by an appropriate
veterinary surgeon (who is neither the owner nor the rider of the horse). For those
competing under FEI rules please refer to the FEI rules.
17
Section 2
SECTION 2
Grading of Riders and Horses
11. Grouping of riders
Riders will be graded in the following groups (also see rules relating to down grouping):
Group 1
Riders who have competed in a CDI abroad or in any CDIO or CDIW after 1 January 2000.
Group 1 riders may not compete in Novice and Elementary qualifiers.
Group 2a
Riders who have won point(s) at Grand Prix or who have competed in Big or Small Tour in
a UK based CDI after 1 January 2000 (except Group 1). Group 2a riders may not compete
in Novice qualifiers. Any U25 rider who competes in FEI 1625 GP will become Group 2a.
Should the rider compete in this class abroad, and also compete in any Senior CDI class,
that rider will automatically become Group 1.
Group 2
Riders who have won point(s) at Inter I and above in National Classes after 1 January
2000 (except Groups 1 & 2a).
Group 3
Riders who have won points at PSG level or above (including FEI Young Rider classes)
since 1 January 2000 (except Groups 12). Additionally, riders may claim Group 3 status in
order to ride at PSG, having gained 62% or above in Advanced 102 or 105 or FEI YR level
tests in the previous 12 months. Such claims may be made by writing to the BD Office,
and will take effect once the member has received notification of their upgrade. U21
Riders may compete in the FEI YR level tests without having claimed their Group 3 status.
Group 4
Riders who have won more than 14 points at Advanced Medium level or any points at the
levels above (including FEI Junior classes), after 1 January 2000 (except Groups 13).
Group 5
Riders who have won more than 14 points at Medium level or any points at the levels
above (including FEI Pony classes) after 1 January 2000 (except Groups 14).
Group 6
Riders who have won more than 14 points at Elementary level or any points at the levels
above after 1 January 2000 (except Groups 15).
Group 7
Riders who have won more than 14 points at Novice level or any points at the levels
above after 1 January 2000 (except Groups 16).
18
All other riders.
All Pony, Junior and Young Riders regardless of their age will adhere to the same rules as
a Senior Group 1 rider if they compete in a Senior International CDI, CDIO, CDIW, Small
Tour or Big Tour (UK or abroad). This does not apply to Under 21 riders competing in CDIs
at Pony, Junior and Young Rider level.
A rider who has competed at BE Intermediate horse trials since 1 January 2000 may not
be below Group 6.
Those with a BHSI or FBHS qualification will be no lower than Group 5 upon registration.
12. Down Grouping of Riders
a) Riders who have not competed at or above a specific level (including British Eventing) for
four years or more may apply to the BD office in writing to down group by one level.
b) Riders who have won fewer than 15 points at a specific level prior to 1 December
2007 may be eligible to move to a lower rider group. Riders may only down group by
one level. Cumulative points over more than one level will not be taken into
account. Members should apply to the BD office so that their competition record
can be checked and rider group amended where applicable.
Any rider who has competed at BE Advanced horse trials since 1 January 2000 may not
be below a group 5 rider.
Section 2
Group 8
13. Foreign riders domiciled in the UK and/or competing in national classes
Foreign riders and those who have spent more than 12 months abroad will be no lower
than Group 3 upon registration unless BD grants dispensation.
Foreign riders competing in the UK require permission to compete from their National
Federation; this must be submitted to the BD office upon registration. Riders with
passports from Eire are considered to be foreign.
Riders who wish to maintain their eligibility to ride for their own country may compete in
Qualifiers and Championships but even though they may win the Grand Prix
Championship classes they will not become the BD National Champion and will not be
awarded sashes, rosettes or prize money.
Foreign riders competing at all other levels except Grand Prix at the National
Championships may be awarded first place sashes, rosettes and prize money.
14. Grades of horses
Horses may compete only at the level they are graded or higher. The upper points limit
for each grade is as follows:
Preliminary
49 points
Novice
124 points
Elementary

Section 2
There are additional limits for classes qualifying for National Championships and
restrictions on horses which have started at Intermediate I and above. See Rules for
Qualifying and Championships for each level.
Ponies ridden by riders of 16 years and under may continue to compete at Medium level
once 299 points are achieved but must compete in the Open section.
FEI Pony tests carry grading points equivalent to medium level classes therefore riders
gaining more than 14 points will become a group 5 rider.
15. Grading points
Horses are graded on a points system. Points will be awarded against the percentage
achieved in accordance with the scales below:
60.00 – 61.99%
1 point
62.00 – 63.99%
2 points
64.00 – 65.99%
3 points
66.00 – 67.99%
4 points
68.00 – 69.99%
5 points
70.00 – 71.99%
6 points
72.00% and above
7 points
Horses obtaining the percentages shown in the grading points table will be allocated
points regardless of place and prize money. However, points are not awarded for
Introductory and Preliminary classes, Music classes and all Young Horse classes.
For Preliminary Restricted classes “Prelim Points” will be allocated to the same scale as
all other classes. Prelim Points are for qualification purposes only and do not count
towards the upgrading of a horse.
Grading queries can only be dealt with in writing and within twelve months of the
relevant competition.
16. Imported horses
When an imported horse is registered with BD, it is the owner’s responsibility to submit
a full competition record for the horse so that BD points can be allocated and the horse
graded accordingly.
For the purpose of registration, horses foaled in Northern Ireland and Eire are classified as British.
An imported horse which has been registered with BE for at least one year and has a
competition record will be exempt from importation rules.
If the owner is not able to submit a competition record for the horse, points will
automatically be awarded based on the horses age at time of importation according to
the below table.. It is the owner’s responsibility to supply proof of age at import i.e.,
official import documents or the record of a vaccination administered in the UK. hese
points may be reduced by Downgrading or Assessment.
Imported horses without competition records will be graded according to their age at
the time of registration to the scale given in the table unless proof of import at an earlier
age can be supplied. These points may be reduced by Downgrading or by Assessment.

17. Downgrading horses
Any horse may be downgraded once per twelve month period subject to the restrictions below.
Applications should be made to the British Dressage Office and, for a fee of £60, the horse will be
regraded according to the following table.
Rider Group
Points the horse will be allocated

Section 2
4 year old
Restrictions apply to horses which have competed at Inter IGP levels. Any such horse is not
eligible to compete in qualifiers at lower levels unless it has been downgraded, regardless of its
actual points total. BD record the previous points for all downgraded horses.
Downgrading applies to an individual horse/rider combination; it is only maintained if the horse
is competed by another rider at the same group (or lower) as the rider who downgraded the
horse, whilst still registered to the downgrading owner. For example, a horse downgraded by a
Group 7 rider will only maintain its downgraded status if competed by another Group 7 or 8 rider,
or a rider of an equivalent Group if the downgrading rider upgrades. If the horse is sold, or a rider
of a higher grade competes it, the horse’s points will revert to the highest number of points the
horse has ever had on its record.
A horse can only be downgraded once it has gone over the upper points limit for that level. e.g. a
novice horse can only be downgraded once it has reached 125 points or more.
Downgraded horses must be ridden in the Open section, up to the level from which they have
been downgraded regardless of rider group. Horses may be ridden in qualifiers once they have
been formally downgraded.
Once a horse has been downgraded it loses any qualification that it has previously earned.
A horse may be dedowngraded for a fee of £10 and will revert back to its highest ever points
total (provided this total is higher than its current points).
21
Section 2
22
18. Horse Assessment
If the owner wishes an imported horse’s level of training to be assessed, this must be done
between first registration and the first competition entry. They must contact the BD Office
to make an appointment for the horse to be assessed. An assessed horse does not carry the
restrictions imposed by downgrading. The cost of assessment is £75. Assessors are not to
assess horses that are known to them, eg horses the assessor has previously seen in training
or a purchasing/selling context.
19. Grading of horses training or competing abroad
Horses which go abroad and compete in National competitions will be classed as imported
horses for grading purposes if they return to the UK. However, if a full competition record
for that horse from the foreign federation is presented to BD, only the appropriate number
of points according to results achieved will be added to the points the horse had when it left
the UK.

SECTION 3
Competitions & Eligibility
20. Competition Structure
Each year, nearly 10,000 classes from Intro to Grand Prix are held around Britain.
Members can choose to participate for pleasure or may wish to qualify for BD’s various
championships.
BD holds two major Championships per year; the Winter Championships in April and the
National Championships in September. For the majority of levels, members need to
qualify for a regional championship to gain a Championship place.
There are a series of Premier League competitions aimed at riders fine tuning the top
horses ahead of international competition and qualifying for the FEI level classes at
National Championships.
Petplan Equine Area Festivals are BD’s Grassroots Championships series aimed at riders
looking to have a first taste of a big Championship. Area Festivals are held all over the UK
from August to November each year with classes from Prelim to Inter I and qualify for a
national championship held in April the following year.
In addition to the above there are individual series and championships for Para Equestrian
riders, Young horses, Freestyle to Music, and fun competitions such as Team Quest.
21. Qualifying competitions
At each level there are specific dressage tests that are referred to as qualifiers. These are
marked with a Q in their class title in the show schedule. Rules and Qualifications for
each championships can be found later in this book.

23. Freestyle tests
BD produces Test Sheets for Freestyle Tests at Introductory as listed aboves. These tests
may be ridden either with or without music. No grading points are given for any
Freestyle competition, whether with or without music, but in all other respects they are
run in accordance with graded classes of the comparative level.
24. Introductory classes
Introductory classes are open to members or associate members in groups 7 & 8 on
registered and associate registered horses with no grading points. Grading points will not
be awarded for Introductory classes and sheets gained in these classes cannot be used
for qualification.
25. Preliminary classes
The Open section of Preliminary Classes is open to members or associate members on
registered or associate registered horses, horse not to have gained more than 49 BD
points. Those competing in the open section do not qualify for the Winter or Summer
Regional Championships.
The Restricted section of Preliminary Classes is for those who are eligible to qualify for
the Summer and Winter Regional Championships, i.e. members of BD who are groups 7
or 8, riding registered or associate registered horses with no more than 49 BD points.
Preliminary Restricted sections classes carry “Prelim points” which are used for
qualification purposes only and do not affect the horses grade. Full horse registration is
required for the Winter/Summer Regional Championships and Area Festivals.
26
Restricted and Open sections are offered so that less experienced riders who have just
started competing at a given level can compete against similarly inexperienced riders in
the Restricted section. The Group into which each rider is placed is determined by their
experience at each level of competition. The rider group then determines whether they
may compete in the Restricted sections of classes as set out below.
Classes from Preliminary to Advanced Medium will be divided into Open and Restricted
sections. Organisers are to offer both sections when running a class at a level where
Open/Restricted sections apply.
At Preliminary only those in the Restricted qualifier section are eligible to qualify for
National/Winter Championships. There is no championship for Open Preliminary.
Restricted section riders may gain 14 points at the next higher level before having to ride
in the open section at the level below. For example, a Group 7 rider will be able to gain 14
points at Elementary before becoming Group 6 and therefore having to ride in the
Novice Open section. This applies to all levels from Novice to Medium. At Advanced
Medium, riders may gain unlimited points at advanced level and retain eligibility to ride
in the Restricted section. Those who wish to compete at PSG must be Group 3 and must
ride in the Advanced Medium Open section.
Section 3
26. Restricted and Open sections
Riders must state the section they are entering for every class; if not stated, they will be
put in the Open section. Riders may not change section once a class has started.
27. Eligibility for Restricted and Open sections
At Preliminary level
Riders are eligible for Restricted sections if they have won
no more than 14 points at Elementary level or any points
at the levels above since 1 January 2000.
At Novice level
Riders are eligible for Restricted sections if they have won
no more than 14 points at Elementary level or any points at
the levels above since 1 January 2000.
At Elementary level
Riders may enter the Restricted section if they have won
no more than 14 points at Medium level or any points at
the levels above since 1 January 2000.
At Medium level
Riders may enter the Restricted section if they have won no
more than 14 points at Advanced Medium level or any
points at the levels above since 1 January 2000.
At Advanced Medium level
Riders may enter the Restricted section if they have won
no points at PSG or above since 1 January 2000 and they
do not wish to use Advanced points to claim Group 3
status in order to compete at PSG.
Those riding a downgraded horse must compete in the Open section upto the level from
which the horse was downgraded.
BD and BE riders awarded a Union Flag must ride in the Open section (with the exception
of Para Equestrian Dressage riders). As soon as the Union Flag is awarded, any
qualifications already gained in Restricted sections are to be transferred to Open sections.

Points won by a Group 1 or Group 2a rider may not count as a part qualification for
Novice and/or Elementary classes for the horse concerned.
Foreign riders allocated to Group 3 by default must qualify for PSG by achieving a score
of 62% or more in Advanced 102 or 105.
In order to be eligible to ride at PSG, riders must have achieved 62% or above in
Advanced 102 or 105 or FEI YR level tests in the previous 12 months and claimed their
group 3 status via the BD office. Such claims may be made by writing to the BD Office,
and will take effect once the member has received notification of their upgrade.
If any rider receives a score below 50% in a class at PSG or above they may not compete at
these levels again until they have achieved a score of 62% or more in Advanced 102 or 105.
28. Training sections
Training sections are open to members on registered or associate registered horses; non
members may enter with class tickets. Both horse and rider must be eligible under BD
Rules for the levels entered.
Score sheets gained cannot be used for qualification to Summer or Winter Regional
Championships, however, they may be used to qualify for Area Festivals. No grading
points will be given and the results will not affect rider status. No Prize money or
rosettes will be awarded. BD Rules apply to Training sections.
29. Eligibility for riders under the age of 14.
All riders under the age of 14 (the end of the year of their 13th birthday) will be
allowed to continue to ride in the restricted section at any level irrespective of their
rider group.
For example – A rider under the age of 14 who has gained more than 14 points at
elementary is eligible to remain in the restricted section at novice rather than move
in to the open section.
28
The exception to the downgrade rule is that a downgraded horse/pony ridden by a rider
under the age of 14 may be ridden in a restricted section an does not have to go open
section.
As soon as a rider reaches the end of their 13th year they will return to the
appropriate section and level (open/restricted) as per the regular BD rules.
A rider under the age of 14 who has been placed at the Winter or National
Championships at a level is not eligible to ride in the restricted section at that level or
below in future years, and must move to the open section in the same way as riders
over 14.
An under 14 rider is bound by the same rules for Championships and if qualified may
not rider at two restricted levels.
30. Unaffiliated competitions
If an unaffiliated class is run at an affiliated show, the class must be run and judged
separately from any equivalent affiliated class. If there are fewer than ten riders in either
section, the class may be mixed, but organisers should endeavour to keep the sections
separate whenever possible. Unaffiliated classes run as part of an affiliated show must be
run under BD rules in all respects in order to be covered by BD insurance.
All riders under the age of 14 will qualify for Regionals and Area Festivals in exactly
the same way as all other riders.
Section 3
All horses must still be eligible for the level being ridden at and if the horse points
limits are exceeded the horse will need to be downgraded.
31. Pick Your Own classes (PYO)
Certain classes may be designated as PYO by an organiser. They will only be open to
members of BD riding registered horses or to those with class tickets. They may cover
more than one level with the schedule stipulating the test to be ridden eg. PYO FEI. A
PYO FEI class may also include FEI Para tests. Classes are judged on a percentage basis.
PYO classes only count as nonqualifying classes in relation to qualifying points.
32. Associated competitions
These competitions are open to members and nonmembers of BD but may be restricted
in some way, for instance to horses in a certain stud book. They are run under BD rules
and may give whatever prize money they choose. Their schedules must be included in
the schedules section in “British Dressage” and they will be liable for the £2.00 levy per
competitor although no grading points will be given and classes will not count as
qualifiers for the BD Championships.

applies wear protective hats at all times for their own safety. Organisers may require
that Under 21 riders are to wear protective hats at all levels, if this is stipulated in the
schedule. Organisers may also prescribe venuespecific rules that are stricter than stated
if clearly shown in their schedules.
34
Competitors are strongly recommended to check their hats are correctly fitted and
replace them if damaged, or following a fall, and are responsible for ensuring their hat
meets the required standards above. Riders are also advised to check the wording of any
insurance policy they may depend on in case of accident for any specific requirements
regarding the wearing of hats.
If a hat comes off during a dressage test, it must be replaced immediately; the rider may
dismount or the hat may be handed to them. The test will be restarted at the beginning
of the movement during which it came off. There will be no penalty for error of course,
but if the hat is not replaced the Judge is to eliminate the competitor.
If a rider starts their test without wearing the correct headgear, the Judge is to ring the
bell and instruct the rider to dismount and leave the arena. At the discretion of the
organiser and the Judge, the rider may restart the test once properly attired. If a rider
fails to comply with the instruction, the organiser is to eliminate the competitor from all
classes on that day. This will also apply if, as a result of a spotcheck, a rider’s hat is found
not to comply with the required standard.
PAS 015, EN1384, BSEN1384 (BD strongly recommends that hats are BSI Kitemarked)
ASTM F1163 (2004) with SEI mark

70. Arena layout
Arenas are to be set out to the dimensions shown.
The arena should be level and separated from the public by a distance all round of 15
metres for International competitions and at least 10 metres for other events if more
room is not available. Adjacent arenas should be a minimum of 5 metres apart. Roping
(incorporating safety break points) should be used when necessary to prevent intrusion.
The arenas may be marked in the following ways:
a) By a continuous surround of white boards.
b) By intermittent white boards placed at each corner and opposite each marker.
NB –Alternative arena surrounds may be used with permission from BD.
Plan of 20 x 40 arena
The length of the diagonal from corner to corner is 44.72 m
\

47
Section 6
71. Markers
The outer markers must be clearly visible. Arena boards may be marked opposite each
outside marker. A gap of about one metre each side of the centre line must be left at A
to form an entrance and the A marker placed far enough back to allow horses to enter
the arena on a straight track.
72. Inspection of arenas
Riding the Test
The Judge is responsible for checking that the arena is satisfactory and having it
modified as necessary.
73. Competitors’ conduct
Riders and owners of competing horses and their assistants must, under penalty of
elimination, obey any order or direction given to them by any official and they must, in
particular, be careful not to do anything liable to upset or hinder the progress of the
competition.
74. Competitors’ responsibility/declarations
The competitor is responsible for arriving at the appropriate competition arena early
enough so that they start their test at the designated time. The competition time
allocated to the competitors is the time that they should start their test.
75. Dispensation
Any BD member with a physical disability preventing them from riding a test in
accordance with the rules or who requires compensating aids should apply to the
Dispensation Panel through the BD Para Officer for a Dispensation Certificate. Members
applying for dispensation for a permanent disability must be assessed by a qualified FEI
or RDA classifier. Contact the BD Para Officer for details.
On classification, if a rider’s impairment is not considered sufficiently severe under the
ParaEquestrian rules to warrant classification to Grades I IV, the dispensation panel will
review the full classification card submitted by the classifier. The level of impairment in
the relevant affected part of the body will be considered (e.g. a rider requesting
dispensation for looped reins would have the scores for wrist, fingers and thumb taken
into account, but not those for any other part of the body). Only riders demonstrating
10% or higher levels of impairment (based on the classification results) in the relevant
body part will be considered.
When entering a competition, the rider is to send a copy of the Dispensation Certificate
to the organiser who is to pass it to the Judge. Such competitors must be capable of
riding in and competing in the facilities as provided for all competitors. Any
improvement or deterioration in the rider’s condition must be reported to the BD Para
Officer.
76. Numbers
Ideally all horses should wear numbers on both sides of their bridle or saddle cloth.
Horses attending affiliated competitions are to wear their competition numbers at all
times when they are ridden or exercised.
48
Section 6
77. Riding in collecting ring or practice areas/arenas
Riders are to behave with consideration to their fellow competitors whilst working in:
a) Pass left hand to left hand when meeting another rider coming in the opposite
direction unless they are in counter canter, when you should give way by circling.
Riding the Test
b) Make tack adjustments outside the arena if possible, or near the middle of the arena,
but without obstructing the diagonal or centre lines.
c)
To avoid accidents, announce that you intend to enter an indoor practice area.
d) Ensure your whip is not so long or used so that it could upset a passing horse.
e) Do not halt or walk on the outside track and always leave room for other riders to pass.
f)
Do not lunge without the permission of the Organiser and only if there is sufficient
room so as not to cause inconvenience to other riders.
g) Trainers or other pedestrians are not to stand in the collecting rings or practice
areas/arenas and must minimise disruption to other riders when helping their client.
h) Riders with impaired vision should wear a white armband whilst warming up as an
indication to other riders.
i)
If a warmup arena is becoming overcrowded, the Organiser or steward/marshal
may ask competitors not competing that day to leave. An organiser/steward may
impose a limit on the number of horses allowed in the warmup arena, giving priority
to those closest to performing their test.
78. Commanders
a) Commanders may be used in all classes except Area Festivals, Premier Leagues,
Championships and Selection Trials, although they may be used for warm up classes.
Organisers who do not wish to allow commanders at their shows must state this in
the schedule.
b) Where commanders are allowed the competitor is responsible for ensuring that only
the words of the printed text or extracts therefrom are read out and that there is no
emphasis on any part of the command. The Judge may eliminate the rider if this rule
is not met.
c) The Judge may mark an error of course for repetition of any part of the text if it is
used to redirect a competitor in the process of making such an error.
d) Dispensation must be granted by BD for the use of headsets, and will only be
permitted when an independent adult stands next to the caller to check that only
words from the tests are used.
e) Commanders may be introduced partway through the test at the Judge’s discretion
f)
Commanders may not stand inside the arena.
g) A Commander may be used for blind riders in addition to callers.
50
The Judge is to eliminate a rider who is given any outside assistance designed to help
them improve their performance during a test.
80. Penalties for contravening rules
81. Tack Checking
A Steward may be appointed to checking saddlery and equipment, but competitors are
responsible for complying with the rules. If a bit is in question the trainer/groom may be
asked to open the horse’s mouth before or after the test at the rider’s discretion.
Alternatively, the bridle can be removed following the test. When checked after the
competition, if the bit is not permitted the horse will be eliminated from the competition.
Riding the Test
The penalty for a contravention of these rules will range from a two point deduction for
each occurrence of a minor infringement, such as incorrect dress; to elimination for major
infringements, such as forbidden tack, or when stated explicitly in the rule concerned.
Elimination is always at the discretion of the Judge and the rider will be notified at the end
of the test. Points will be deducted from the final score and will not count as errors of
course. Please see annex 2 for the table of penalties for contravening rules.
Section 6
79. Outside assistance
82. Entering arena before the signal to start
Normally, no horse may enter any arena, other than the practice arena, except when
actually competing, on penalty of elimination. Competitors must wait until the Judge
has signified that they may start before entering the arena. Riders are not to enter or
ride around the competition arena during a break or whilst the Judge is not present.
Where the construction of the arena makes it impossible for the competitor to ride
outside the entire circumference of the arena before the Judge’s signal to enter is
sounded, they may ride inside the arena. Where a 40m x 20m arena has been created
within a 60m x 20m arena, the competitor is permitted to ride in the entire arena.
Depending on the circumstances, riders have the option of entering at A from inside or
outside the arena.
Any horse failing to enter the arena within 45 seconds of the bell being sounded will have
a 2 mark penalty per Judge awarded. Failure to enter after 90 seconds of the signal to
start will result in elimination.
83. Execution of test
Movements must follow one another in the order laid down in the test. In a movement
carried out at a specific point, the movement is executed when the rider’s body is level
with the marker. All tests are to be ridden with both hands except where stated
otherwise on the test sheets. In tests up to and including Elementary, transitions may be
progressive except where stated otherwise on test sheets; in simple changes the upward
transition is always direct.
Competitors may not repeat a movement or put in an extra circle or loop, unless the
Judge decides that an error of course has been made, and sounds the horn or bell. If,
however, the rider has started a movement and tries to do the same movement again,
the Judge is to consider the first movement only and, at the same time, penalise for an
error of course.
51
Section 6
84. Salute
Competitors are to take the reins and whip, if carried, in one hand, then lower the free
hand to their side and nod their head. Gentlemen wearing top hats may salute in the
same manner or, if they wish, may remove and lower their hat with their free hand
before nodding.
85. Sitting and rising
Riding the Test
Trot work may be ridden sitting or rising for all tests at Elementary level and below. At
Medium level trot work must be ridden sitting except extended/medium trot
movements, which may be ridden in rising. At Advanced Medium level and above sitting
trot is mandatory. For National Young Horses tests in 4, 5 and 6 year old classes trot
work may be sitting or rising. FEI tests, including Young Horse tests, require sitting trot
except where specifically stated otherwise.
86. Leaving the arena
Riders are to leave the arena (after the final salute) at walk on a long rein at an
appropriate place. The Judge is to eliminate any horse that leaves the arena during a
test, when the surround is continuous and 9in high or more. Where the surround is less
than 9in, no marks are to be given for any movement when the horse places all four feet
outside the arena. Where the arena is marked by a line or intermittent boards, it is at the
Judge’s discretion as to the marks deducted. Any horse leaving the arena not under
control is to be eliminated. A test begins when the horse enters at A and finishes when it
moves off from the final salute.
87. Dismounting and/or fall of rider/horse
If, after the rider has entered the arena, they dismount without a reason acceptable to
the Judge, no marks will be given for the movement. In the case of a fall of horse and/or
rider, the combination will be retired immediately from that test but may ride in further
tests if the rider declares they are fit to continue.
88. Resistance
a) Any horse failing to enter the arena within 45 seconds of the bell being sounded will
have a 2 mark penalty awarded by each Judge. Failure to enter after 90 seconds of
the signal to start will result in elimination.
b) The Judge is to eliminate any horse refusing to continue the test for a period of 20
consecutive seconds during a test.
89. Grinding teeth and tail swishing
Teeth grinding and tail swishing may be signs of nervousness, tenseness or resistance
and can be taken into account by the judges in their marks for the movements concerned
as well as in the appropriate collective mark at the end.
90. Voice
The use of the rider’s voice is prohibited and is to be penalised by the loss of two marks
from the score that would have been awarded for each movement in which it occurred.
52
Tests will be timed from the move off after the first salute until the halt before the final
salute. Halts must be shown at the beginning and the end of all freestyle tests and these
must be on the centre line facing the judge. Two penalty points will be deducted from the
final total if a test exceeds the maximum time allowed or is more than 30 seconds shorter
than the minimum stated time.
Riding the Test
In the case of a technical failure that will interfere with the competition, the judge at C
will ring the bell. In the case of the rider’s music failing, skipping or jumping during a test,
the rider may make one request to restart or the judge can suggest that they restart.
When possible the restart should be immediate but if not the rider should return to
complete or restart their test during a scheduled break or at the end of the competition.
During extreme weather conditions or other extreme situations the judge at C may ring
the bell for interruption of the test. The rider should return to complete their test when
conditions permit. It is up to the rider whether to restart the test from the beginning or
to commence from the point the music failed. In either case the marks already given to
the point at which the music failed will not be changed.
Section 6
91. Freestyle to music and Technical failures
Test sheets are available at all levels and each includes a list of compulsory movements,
noncompulsory permitted movements and prohibited movements. If included,
movements of a higher standard than the test being performed will be penalised by the
deduction of two points each time they are performed.
Where a competition consists of two rounds, the second being a freestyle competition, a
rider automatically declares their intention to compete in the Freestyle if they participate
in the first round. In cases of legitimate withdrawal due to illness or veterinary/welfare
reasons the next qualified combination will move up into the freestyle.
92. Riding the wrong test
A rider who starts the wrong test for the class may be allowed to restart the test (at the
Judge’s discretion) as long as they can do so immediately. They will be penalised for a
first error of course.
93. Errors of course
When a rider makes an error of course (takes the wrong turn, omits a movement etc), the
Judge at C is to ring the bell. If necessary, the Judge will explain the point at which the
rider must take up the test again, and the next movement to be executed. However, in
some cases when the sounding of the bell would unnecessarily impede the fluency of the
performance – eg if the competitor makes a transition from medium trot to collected
walk at V instead of K or, cantering up the centre line from A, makes a pirouette at D
instead of at L – it is up to the Judge to decide whether to ring the bell or not.
The Judge should ring the bell when a movement is executed at the wrong marker, if there
is the possibility of a similar mistake when the movement is repeated on the other rein. If
the combination does not enter at A in a Freestyle test, two marks are to be deducted.
53
Section 6
If the Judge does not realise until the competitor has left the arena that one or more
movements have been omitted he must:
a) Adjust as necessary the position of his marks and comments on his sheet to accord
with the movements actually performed.
b) Give to each of the movements not executed a mark equal to the average of the
collective marks entered at the bottom of his sheet (averaged to the nearest half).
Riding the Test
c)
Record the penalty for error of course.
94. Penalties for errors of course
Every error of the course, whether the bell is sounded or not, is to be penalised:
•
the first time by 2 points
•
the second time by 4 points
•
the third time the competitor is eliminated, although he may continue his
performance to the end, marks being awarded in the ordinary way.
95. Errors of the test
If a competitor makes an error of the test (eg, trots rising instead of sitting, or at the
salute does not take the reins in one hand) he is to be penalised as for an error of course.
The writer is to put a star against the movement concerned and mark an error at the
bottom of the sheet. Competitors are not to repeat a movement of the test unless the
Judge at C decides on an error of course and sounds the bell. If, however, the rider has
started the execution of a movement and tries to do the same movement again, the
Judges must consider only the first movement shown and also penalise for an error of
course. The penalty points are deducted on each Judge’s sheet from the total points
given to the competitor.
96. Lameness
In the case of marked lameness, the Senior Officiating Judge is to inform the rider that he
is eliminated. There is no appeal against the decision. If there are any doubts as to a
horse’s soundness, the competitor will be allowed to complete the test and any
unevenness of pace severely penalised.
97. Scoring method
Each Judge will allot from 010 points for each numbered movement and collective. Half
marks from 0.5 9.5 may be used. The marks are then added together and any penalty
marks are deducted. It is essential that all penalty marks are deducted from the
individual totals before these are added together. Where there is a panel of 2 or more
judges, the final percentage is calculated by adding the scores for all judges and
calculating the percentage for the combined total.
Under both BD and FEI Rules the Judges’ marks are totalled to find the final percentage.
If 2 riders achieve the same percentage, the horse with the higher collective marks is to
take the higher placing. If the total of the collective marks is also equal the horses
concerned are to be given the same placing.
54
The scale of marks is as follows:
4
Insufficient
9
Very Good
3
Fairly Bad
8
Good
2
Bad
7
Fairly Good
1
Very Bad
6
Satisfactory
0
Not Executed
5
Sufficient
The marks 10 and 0 must be awarded where the performance warrants their use. “Not
executed” means that nothing required has been performed.

99. Judges’ sheets
Score sheets, one per horse per Judge, may be purchased from the BD office. These
tests are protected by copyright: photocopying is not permitted, and legal action will be
taken against offenders.
When judges have sanctioned their distribution, competitors may collect their sheets.
Competitors taking part in two classes on the same day judged by the same Judge, are
not to have access to their score sheets before competing in the second test. Judges’
score sheets with remarks signed by the Judge must be treated as confidential until
given to the competitor, when they become his or her private property. Organisers are
not obliged to make public any figures other than total marks, percentage scores
awarded and results.
100. Judges’ decision final
In all cases the Judges’ decision is final.
a) Any complaint against a Judge must be made in writing and in accordance with the
official complaints procedure.
b) The BD Board may direct the retest of any Judge, or remove him/her from the
Official Panel, giving reasons for their decision. If necessary complaints may be
forwarded to the Disciplinary SubCommittee (DSC).
c)
101.
Any Judge under investigation is to be suspended until their hearing.
Cautions
a) The Judge is authorised to caution a competitor as to his conduct at an affiliated
show. All such cautions must be reported to the Chief Executive in the following
form:
“I have to report that at the .....Show, on ....(date), I had occasion to caution ...
(name) as to his conduct....(Signature of Judge)”
55
Section 6
b) If the same member receives a second caution within a period of 3 calendar years,
the Chief Executive will call for a full report of the incident which gave rise to the
second caution and may refer this to the DSC as a case of misconduct. The DSC will
be advised of any previous caution.
102. Objections
Riding the Test
Only the owner, his agent or the rider of a horse taking part in a competition may lodge
an objection. Objections must be made in writing to the Secretary of the competition,
accompanied by a deposit of £25, not later than 1 hour after the final results are put onto
the scoreboard.
The senior dressage Judge present should adjudicate whenever possible. If this is not
possible the objection should immediately be referred to the BD Office for consideration
by the DSC.
The deposit is forfeited unless the objection is upheld or it is decided that there were
good and reasonable grounds for lodging an objection. Where an objection relates to a
scoring error, the competitor must notify the organiser within 24 hours of the result
being published, if a change needs to be made or a possible qualification registered.

b) Other than listed above and National Irish Judges no other foreign judge may
officiate at an affiliated competition. Irish Judges may officiate at one list lower than
their Irish listing and must be BD members.
105. Positioning of Judges
A Jury usually consists of 2, 3 or 5 judges. Judges may be positioned on the outside of the
arena at E,H,C,M & B. The President sits at C, and 2 others (M and H) on either side of
the Judge at C, to the inside of the long sides. Side Judges are placed at B & E. There
should always be a Judge at C but the positioning of the other Judges may be decided by
the Jury. A Jury of 2 Judges may be positioned close together either side of C, or one at C
and one at E or B. The Judges’ boxes should be sited at least 2 metres away from the side
of the arena to ensure a full view.
106.Judging restrictions

PSG & Intermediate I
In qualifiers at Premier Leagues and UKbased CDIs, 2 combinations from the show will
qualify directly with 65% or above. If there is only one qualifier the top 2 combinations will
qualify. If there are two, both winners will qualify. If the qualifiers are oversubscribed, they
may be split with the winners of the sections qualifying, making a total of 4 qualifiers from
that show.
66
Combinations which have competed in PSG and Inter I in CDIs abroad may request that their
highest score be entered onto the wild card list if they notify the BD Office in writing before
the end of the qualifying period for direct qualification to the National Championships.
The top 10 combinations will go through to the Inter I Freestyle. Riders who enter the
Inter I class at the National Championships automatically declare their intention to
compete in the Inter I Freestyle if qualified. In cases of legitimate withdrawal due to
illness or veterinary/welfare reasons the next qualified combination will move up.
Intermediate II
Direct qualification for the National Championships will only be from Premier Leagues &
UK Based CDI’s. 2 combinations from the show will qualify directly with 65% or above. If
there is only one qualifier the top two combinations will qualify. If there are two the 2
winners will qualify. If both qualifiers are oversubscribed, one may split with the winners
of both sections qualifying, making a total of 3 qualifiers from that show.
If a qualifying place is taken by a prequalified horse, the qualification will pass down to
the next highest placing at 65% or above.
Horses which gain 5 or more grading points in Intermediate II qualifiers at 65% or above
will potentially be eligible for a wildcard. Wild cards will go to those with highest
scores & 5 points first, then highest score with 4 points etc. Three points must be won
from either Premier League qualifiers or UK based or overseas CDI classes. Any
allocation will be based on the highest score earned at a Premier League or CDI.
Combinations which have qualified directly for the Grand Prix Championship and the
Intermediate II Championship are only eligible to compete in both if they have not
competed at GP CDI/ CDIO level abroad. Combinations which have competed at GP level
at a CDI/CDIO abroad are eligible to compete in the GP Championship only.
Grand Prix
Places for the Grand Prix Championships will be allocated as follows;
•
Automatic qualification for the selected combinations for that year’s senior
European or World Championships or Olympic Games.
•
Automatic qualification for the winners of each of Premier League GP class
(excluding GP Special or Freestyle) scoring 65% or above.
•
Qualification to the 4 horses who have achieved the highest scores above 65% in
UK based or overseas CDI Grand Prix classes (excluding GP Special or Freestyle).
•
Qualification to the 4 horses who achieve the highest average score above 65% from
3 Premier League or High Profile Show Grand Prix classes (excluding GP Special or
Freestyle). At least one score must come from a Premier League.
Intermediate I Freestyle Championship The top combinations in the Intermediate I
Championships will qualify but marks will not be carried forward.
Section 8
If all the direct places are not filled from the Premier Leagues a first allocation of wild
cards will be issued prior to the Summer Regional Championships taking place.
If the places are not filled by the above method, additional places will be filled by taking
the next highest score from either the CDI list or the list of the highest average scores
from 3 Premier League/ High Profile Show Grand Prix classes.
The top 10 combinations will go through to the Grand Prix Freestyle. Riders who enter
the Grand Prix class at the National Championships automatically declare their intention
to compete in the Grand Prix Freestyle if qualified. In cases of legitimate withdrawal due
to illness or veterinary/welfare reasons the next qualified combination will move up.
67
Section 8
U25 Grand Prix classes do not form part of the qualification for the National Championships.
The marks from both sections will be added and the average percentage calculated to
determine the National Champion.
117. Special rules for Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight and offshore islands
For all levels, half the qualifying points must be achieved at the required percentage and
at least half these points must be gained in qualifiers. Where the total points required is
an odd number, the number of points needed under these special rules will be rounded
up eg Prelim will require 10 points all from qualifiers and Novice Restricted will require 10
points, 5 from qualifiers. This rule only applies to residents in Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of
Wight, Isle of Man and other offshore islands. Riders who gain points at competitions
held on the mainland may only use them towards the full qualification total. On island
points may also be used towards the full total, but off island points may not be used
towards the reduced on island total.
118.General rules applicable to all Freestyle to Music qualifiers
a) Riders must provide their own CD, timed to run from the moveoff from the halt at
the start of the test, until the final halt. Halts must be on the centre line facing the
Judge. No more than 20 seconds of introductory music may be played before
entering the arena at A.
b) To compete in Music competitions and Qualifiers at any level riders must be Full, BD
Music members on a fully registered or associate registered horse. Riders must
upgrade to Full Membership and full horse registration to compete in a Regional
Music Championship or any other Championship.
c) All tests must include the compulsory movements for the relevant level and may
also include additional movements at that level or below.
d) All music must be licensed. A PPL licence and music record form can be obtained
from the BD office.
e) Minimum percentages for all levels apply.

b) Wild cards are a means of qualifying for a championship other than gaining
qualification at the Winter or Summer Regionals or direct from a Premier League.
When determining the ratio for direct qualification from Regional Championships,
a percentage of the available places at the Championships are retained for use as
wild cards.
c)
Immediately after the final Winter or Summer Regional Championships those
qualified at Preliminary – Advanced Medium are listed and the remaining places in
the relevant Championship class are filled by the nonqualified competitors with the
next highest percentages from across all of the Regionals. Wild cards are only
distributed after all Championship places have been allocated to those who qualify
by right. If combinations on the wild card list end on equal percentages, the
collectives will decide the order of acceptance.
d) For Prix St Georges and Intermediate I, wild cards are to be offered to nonqualified

2. Each pair will ride a set pattern which will be commanded. This is not a dressage
test and marks will not be deducted for riding the wrong pattern. The pattern is
designed to assess the quality of the horse’s paces, talent and training. First round
marks are used solely to determine the top 6 horses, which then return for final
judging. Horses are not stripped or ridden by the Judges. Final placings are decided
between the top 6 horses, disregarding the first round marks.
c)
a) Combinations qualify from Regionals to the National or Winter Championships on a

recomposed in such a way as to have a maximum of one member to be higher than a
group 7 and maximum of a group 5 competing for the team at any given time.
h) Riders who during the team quest season upgrade to a rider group higher than 5 will
no longer be eligible to compete at any team quest competition (including finals)

Team Quest
138. Qualifying Period
TQ Qualifying competitions to take place from 1 February to 31 August.
Eight Regional finals to take place in September.
National final to take place late October/November.
139. Regional Rankings & Finals
Each of the eight BD regions will have its own TQ leader board. Teams can compete in
any TQ competition in any region, but their points based on their pacing at the
competition will be allocated to the team’s regional leader board.
The regional rankings are based on points and will only take into account the 5 best
placings for each team.
At the end of the qualifying period a Regional Final will be held in each of the eight
regions. The top 15 teams from each section (BYRDS & Open) within the region will
qualify for the respective regional final. Teams must compete in the regional final within
the region which they have nominated to ride in.
Points at each competition will be allocated according to team placings, as follows:
Team Placing
Points
1st
10
2nd
9
3rd
8
4th
7
5th
6
6th
5
7th
4
8th
3
9th
2
10th

Teams lower than 10th place will not receive any points.
In case of equality of points, points accumulated over fewer events will determine a
higher placing than points gained over more events. For example a team earning 30
points in three competitions will go ahead of a team who have earned 30 points across
five competitions.
If there is still equality of placing the individual percentages contributing to the team total at
each show will be added together. The higher total of such percentages will take the lead.
84
The top three teams from each section (BYRDS & Open) from each of the eight regional
finals will qualify for the TQ National Final.
If a team is unable to attend the final the place will be allocated to the next team from
the same region.
All tests will be run in short arenas. Organisers can choose to put on any of the following tests:
Introductory Level
Preliminary Level
Novice Level
Introductory A (2008)
Preliminary No. 1 (2006)
Novice No. 24 (2010)

Annex 1
ANNEXES
ANNEX 1
British Dressage adopts the FEI code of conduct for the welfare of the horse in all respects in
order to maintain standards in both International and National competition.
FEI Code of conduct for the welfare of the horse
The FEI requires all those involved in International equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI’s
Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at all times the welfare of the Horse
must be paramount and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial
influences.
1. At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must
take precedence over all other demands.
a) Good horse management
Stabling, feeding and training must be compatible with good horse management
and must not compromise welfare. Any practices which could cause physical or
mental suffering, in or out of Competition, will not be tolerated.
b) Training methods
Horses must only undergo training that matches their physical capabilities and level
of maturity for their respective disciplines. They must not be subjected to any
training methods which are abusive or cause fear or for which they have not been
properly prepared.
c)
Farriery and tack
Foot care and shoeing must be of a high standard. Tack must be designed and fitted
to avoid the risk of pain or injury.
d) Transport
During transportation, horses must be fully protected against injuries and other
health risks. Vehicles must be safe, well ventilated, maintained to a high standard,
disinfected regularly and driven by competent staff. Competent handlers must
always be available to manage the horses.
e) Transit
All journeys must be planned carefully, and horses allowed regular rest periods with
access to food and water in line with current FEI guidelines.
2. Horses and Athletes must be fit, competent and in good health before they are
allowed to compete.
a) Fitness and competence
Participation in competition must be restricted to fit horses and athletes of proven
competence.
92
Doping and Medication
Abuse of doping and medication is a serious welfare issue and will not be tolerated.
After any veterinary treatment, sufficient time must be allowed for full recovery
before competition.
d) Surgical procedures
Any surgical procedures that threaten a competing horse’s welfare or the safety of
other horses and/or athletes must not be allowed.
e) Pregnant/recently foaled mares
Mares must not compete after their fourth month of pregnancy or with foal at foot.
f)
3.
c)
Annex 1
b) Health status
No horse showing symptoms of disease, lameness or other significant ailments or
preexisting clinical conditions should compete or continue to compete when to do
so would compromise its welfare. Veterinary advice must be sought whenever there
is any doubt.
Misuse of aids
Abuse of a horse using natural riding aids or artificial aids (e.g. whips, spurs, etc.) will
not be tolerated.
Events must not prejudice horse welfare.
a) Competition areas
Horses must only be trained and compete on suitable and safe surfaces. All
obstacles must be designed with the safety of the horse in mind.
b) Ground surfaces
All ground surfaces on which horses walk, train or compete must be designed and
maintained to reduce factors that could lead to injuries. Particular attention must be
paid to the preparation, composition and upkeep of surfaces.
c)
Extreme weather
Competitions must not take place in extreme weather conditions if the welfare or
safety of the horse may be compromised. Provision must be made for cooling
horses quickly after competing in hot or humid conditions.
d) Stabling at events
Stables must be safe, hygienic, comfortable, well ventilated and of sufficient size for
the type and disposition of the horse. Clean, good quality and appropriate feed and
bedding, fresh drinking water, and washingdown water must always be available.
e) Fitness to travel
After competition, a horse must be fit to travel in accordance with the FEI’s
guidelines.
93
Annex 1
4. Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they
have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers
are over.
a) Veterinary treatment
Veterinary expertise must always be available at an event. If a horse is injured or
exhausted during a competition, the athlete must dismount and a veterinarian must
check the horse.
b) Referral centres
Wherever necessary, the horse should be collected by ambulance and transported to
the nearest relevant treatment centre for further assessment and therapy. Injured
horses must be given full supportive treatment before transport.
c)
Competition injuries
The incidence of injuries sustained in competition should be monitored. Ground
surface conditions, frequency of competitions and any other risk factors should be
examined carefully to indicate ways to minimise injuries.
d) Euthanasia
If injuries are sufficiently severe the horse may need to be euthanased by a
veterinarian as soon as possible on humane grounds and with the sole aim of
minimising suffering.
e) Retirement
Every effort should be made to ensure that horses are treated sympathetically and
humanely when they retire from competition.
5. The FEI urges all those involved in equestrian sport to attain the highest possible
levels of education in their areas of expertise relevant to the care and management
of the competition horse.
British Dressage Statement
Those in the sport of Dressage are very caring of their animals and welfare related incidents
are usually due to a lack of knowledge and understanding. Therefore by adopting a more
proactive approach to welfare and its implementation, we can help prevent these situations
occurring.
It will be for the Technical Committees ie Judges, Training etc to make policy
recommendations on welfare issues relating to their areas of responsibility and to implement
this policy. These policies will be reviewed annually by the Welfare Committee. Each
Technical Committee should have a member whose specific responsibility is welfare policy.
BD Welfare procedure
Any distress caused to dressage horses is almost always due to ignorance or over determined
riding. Riders are usually very concerned when they are told that their actions amount to
94
It is always preferable to deal with welfare issues on the day on which they have occurred and
either while they are occurring or as soon as possible after they have occurred.
If the issue can be dealt with appropriately on the day it may not be necessary to report it. If
however the issue can be dealt with on the day but the Technical Delegate
(TD)/Organiser/Judge/Steward still feels that it is a serious welfare issue then it needs to be
reported to the Disciplinary Sub Committee for further action/consideration.
If in the opinion of the TD/Organiser/Judge/Steward this issue cannot be dealt with on the
day then it should be reported to BD along the following lines:
If during a competition abuse to a horse is witnessed by an Organiser, a Judge or a Steward, a
second person should be sought to discuss the incident before a decision is taken, unless the
situation is very urgent in which case an attempt to stop this abuse should be made
immediately. If someone else witnesses what they perceive to be abuse they should
immediately draw it to the attention of an Organiser, Judge or Steward.
Annex 1
abuse and are anxious to cooperate. The person on the ground must keep this in mind when
assessing the situation and act accordingly.
Make a note of the time and place, name of horse and the name and contact details of at
least one witness. Report the abuse to BD setting out all of the details as clearly as possible.
If possible the competitor involved should be informed on the day that a complaint is being
sent to BD about their conduct.
If abuse takes place during a test and abuse of the horse is seen, or blood is seen and this
amounts to abuse of the horse as laid out below, then the competitor must be eliminated
immediately. The competitor must be informed why they have been eliminated and if the
Judge feels it appropriate the situation should be reported to BD.
Examples of abuse (this is not an exhaustive list and other incidents or injuries may be
considered to be abuse or the result of abuse):
•
Bit – The bit must never be used as punishment.
•
Spurs – To use spurs excessively or persistently so as to injure the horse. If a
judge/steward sees a spur that is likely to cause injury they can ask the competitor to
remove them.
•
Overworking – To ride/compete an obviously exhausted, lame or injured horse.
•
Whip – Excessive and inappropriate use of the whip is not acceptable.
•
Lameness – Riding an unsound horse.
•
Tack – Tack should be correctly fitted to avoid pain.
•
Distress – To manifest distress of a horse or pony whether caused by the rider or
external factors.
•
Blood – If blood is seen anywhere on the horse during riding in or the test the rider
should be stopped, informed and must withdraw from the competition. The blood
may or may not be related to abuse but it indicates a problem which requires
attention and which the rider should know about. If the blood is only noticed by the
95
Annex 1
Judge towards the end of the test and before there is a chance to stop the horse,
then an inspection should take place immediately after the test is finished and if the
horse is definitely bleeding then the score should not count.
If the Judge at C fails to see the blood but it is seen by a cojudge, Organiser,
spectator etc it should immediately be reported to the Judge, Steward or Organiser
who should inspect the horse and if it is confirmed then the score would not count.
Any horse which has a “sore patch”, an area where hair has been rubbed off and the
skin is inflamed, in a location where there is a danger that the skin could be broken if
the horse were continued to be ridden, must be withdrawn from competition. If the
sore patch is not noticed until after a test has been completed, then elimination will
only occur if the skin is broken, however the horse may not continue to compete for
the remainder of the competition thereafter, unless approved to continue by an
independent vet.

the Chief Executive. If after preliminary investigation he/she considers that a prima facie case
of misconduct exists, it will be referred to the DSC..
Anyone seeing an incident which they may wish to report, where possible, should note the
time, place, names etc. and try and find additional witnesses. They should approach the
Steward, Organiser or Senior Judges on site who should inform the individual concerned of
the complaint. Every effort should be made to ascertain the condition of the horse and
whether it has been marked by bit, spur or whip. All evidence should be written down and
submitted to the Chief Executive.
A decision to prosecute a complaint against a member will be in the sole discretion of the
Chief Executive and/or Disciplinary Sub Committee. The complainant will be required to give
evidence on behalf of British Dressage if such decision is taken but shall take no further part
in the proceedings other than as a witness.
Notice of complaint
As soon as practically possible after receipt of a complaint against a member, and the Chief
Executive considering it appropriate to refer the complaint to the member, a letter
identifying the date, venue, and nature of the complaint shall be sent to the member with
any other supporting evidence as the Chief Executive deems appropriate.
The accused member shall be given opportunity by the Chief Executive to respond to such
complaint. Upon receipt of such response the Chief Executive shall decide whether to
proceed with the complaint pursuant to summary powers or refer the complaint to the
Disciplinary SubCommittee for a hearing.
In the event that the Chief Executive decides to proceed with a Disciplinary SubCommittee
hearing copies of all the evidence gathered by British Dressage in support of the complaint
shall be delivered to the accused member in advance of the hearing.
Notice of the time and place of the Disciplinary SubCommittee meeting will be sent to the
member against whom a complaint has been made at least three weeks before the date of
such hearing unless in exceptional circumstances it is not possible to give notice less than 3
weeks when a shorter period of notice shall be given.
Complaints against Judges
Complaints relating to Judges; a Judges conduct; behaviour or performance or the judging of
a particular class or competition will be considered according to the following procedure:
100
Requirements
Complaints not made in accordance with this rule will not be accepted.
Complaints regarding scores will not be accepted, (a Judge’s decision is final in relation to
scores). Complaints or challenges to scores should be dealt with under the rule relating to
Objections.
Complaints should where possible, be supported by evidence or statements from
independent witnesses.
Confidentiality
Complaints will be dealt with in a confidential manner.
Process
1.
As soon as possible after an incident anyone wishing to complain should send a written
complaint to the CEO giving as much information as possible about the incident
concerned including where possible details of any independent witnesses and any
video/DVD and or copies of any test sheets of other documents. The complaint should
be sent to the CEO to either:
Complaints will only be accepted in relation to the conduct or performance of BD Judges in
connection with affiliated competition. Complaints relating to unaffiliated competitions will
not be considered unless BD has provided judging services to a related organisation
(including British Eventing, The British Riding Clubs and The Pony Club).
Annex 3
All complaints must be made in writing and be signed by the complainant who shall also give
their full name and address either by letter or email addressed to the Chief Executive.
Email: [email protected] or
Post: Chief Executive, British Dressage, Building 2020, Meriden Business Park, Meriden,
West Mids, CV5 9RG.
If a complaint is made more than 14 days after the incident complained of the Chief
Executive may in his/her sole discretion refuse to investigate the complaint.
2. The CEO will acknowledge receipt of the complaint as soon as reasonably possible. The
CEO may at this stage request further evidence such as video/DVD, copies of test sheets
or names of witnesses.
3. The CEO will review the complaint and supporting evidence to consider whether or not it
requires further investigation. Complaints not supported by evidence are unlikely to be
considered or investigated. In this respect the decision of the CEO is final.
4. If the CEO considers that the complaint should be investigated, the Judge detailed in the
complaint will be asked to respond to the complaint. Such response should be received
by the CEO within 14 days of the request for a response being made. In the absence of a
response the CEO will be entitled to consider the complaint in any event. The CEO will
also make any further enquiries he or she considers to be appropriate.
5.
If having made further enquiries the CEO considers that the complaint should be pursued
further the complainant will be informed and a copy of the complaint may be provided to
the Judge who is the subject of the complaint.
101
Complaints for poor conduct
Annex 3
Following investigation the CEO may take one or more of the following courses of action.
i.
The CEO may decide to take no further action.
ii.
The CEO may issue cautions or reprimands.
iii. The CEO may refer any complaint to the Disciplinary SubCommittee for
consideration and a full hearing. In this instance, the Judge will be suspended from
judging until the outcome of the hearing.
Judges receiving two or more cautions or reprimands in any 12 month period will be referred
to the full Judges Committee. In such event the Judges Committee will consider the previous
complaints and may take such action as it considers appropriate in the circumstances. For
the avoidance of doubt the Judges Committee will also give an opportunity to the Judge
complained of to make representations.
Judging complaints
Complaints of poor judging will be reviewed by the CEO and at least one member of the
Judge Complaints Committee who may take one or more of the following courses of action.
i.
To take no further action
ii. To issue a warning letter to the Judge. Such a letter will be in the form of a letter
guiding the Judge concerned how the matter should or could have been dealt with
more effectively.
iii. To refer the matter to the full Judge Complaints Committee.
In the event that a warning letter is issued the judge may either accept the letter or may
request the CEO to refer the matter to the full Judge Complaints Committee. Such request
shall be made within 21 days of the issue of the letter of concern.
Judges receiving more than two warning letters in any 12 month period will be referred to the
Judges Committee. In such event the Judges Committee will consider the previous
complaints and may take such action as it considers appropriate in the circumstances. For
the avoidance of doubt the Judges Committee will give an opportunity to the Judge
complained of to make representations.
Any appeal from a decision of the Judges Committee or the Judge Complaints Committee
will be in accordance with the BD Rules from time to time.
The Chief Executive may in their sole discretion provide the complainant with information
concerning the outcome of the complaint.
The decision as to how a complaint is dealt with in this procedure is a matter for the CEO in
his/her absolute discretion.

ANNEX 4
Disciplinary Procedure
Rights of Members at Disciplinary SubCommittee (DSC) hearings
1.
A member whose conduct is referred to the DSC may appear in person to answer the
complaint against him/her at the hearing and may present oral or written evidence and
may call and examine witnesses. He/she may also submit written evidence and
statements for consideration in his/her absence this must be submitted to the DSC at
least 7 clear working days prior to the hearing. If a member fails to appear before the
DSC they may reach a decision and impose a penalty in his/her absence. All witness
statements must be endorsed with a statement of truth failing which they shall be
inadmissible as evidence in the event that the maker of that statement does not attend
to give evidence at the disciplinary hearing.
2. A member may also request that the matter be dealt with in his/her absence and submit
written evidence and statements for consideration, which documentation must be
received by the DSC at least 10 clear days prior to the hearing. In the event that the DSC
require the member’s attendance at the hearing he will be notified that his/her request
for the matter to be dealt with in his/her absence has been refused no less than 3 clear
days prior to the hearing. If a member fails to appear before DSC after being informed
that he/she is required to do so, this will be considered to be a further disciplinary offence
of the member and shall be dealt with accordingly.
3.
If a member fails to appear before the DSC either by failing to make a request for the
matter to be dealt with in his/her absence or by failing to comply with the direction by
the DSC that he/she must attend, the DSC will consider the offences in the absence of
the member and impose a penalty as they shall think fit.
4. A member is entitled to be represented by a third party before the DSC. A member under
the age of 18 must always be accompanied by an adult. The name and address of such
third party or adult must be notified to the DSC for their reasonable approval at least 7
clear days prior to the hearing. British Dressage, the Company and the DSC reserve the
right to refuse attendance of any named third party whose approval for attendance has
not previously been obtained from the DSC.
Powers of the DSC to impose penalties
If after considering all the evidence at a hearing of the DSC it decides that the complaint of
misconduct by a member is sustained they are empowered to impose on such member any
one or more of the following penalties:
1.
That such member be reprimanded and cautioned as to his/her future conduct.
2. That such member be suspended from all or any of the rights and privileges of
membership for a period not exceeding 5 years.
3. That any horse or pony belonging to and/or ridden by such member at the time of the
104
4. That such member pay a fine of such sum as the DSC shall in their absolute discretion
direct, giving due regard to the gravity of the misconduct.
A member may be suspended from all rights and privileges of British Dressage following
conviction in a British Court of Law of any equestrian related offence, or any offence which, in
the reasonable opinion of the Chief Executive, shall bring British Dressage or equestrian sport
into disrepute, pending a full investigation by the DSC at an enquiry called under the terms of
Rule 95. In the event that the DSC confirms that the suspension shall stand following
approval by no fewer than 3 members of the DSC panel, such suspension will be confirmed in
writing, and may take effect from the date of conviction.
Immediate suspension
Annex 4
misconduct be debarred from competing in any competition at shows affiliated to British
Dressage; to a foreign federation, or to the FEI for a period not exceeding 12 months
and/or be disqualified from the result of any competition or competitions directly
associated with the misconduct.
Notice of findings, penalties and appeals
1. The Chief Executive will, within seven days of the DSC’s decision, notify the accused, in
writing, of the findings of the DSC and of any penalties imposed.
2. The findings of and penalties imposed by the DSC shall be final and binding on all parties
in every case.
3.
Any member whose conduct has been referred to the DSC and who is dissatisfied with
the DSC’s decision may, within 7 days of a decision (or where relevant of receipt by the
individual of the Respondent’s written clarification for the decision) appeal to the British
Equestrian Federations Appeal Panel subject to the BEF’s terms of reference.
The Notice of Appeal must be in writing and clearly state the decision that the appellant
wishes to appeal and the grounds for the appeal. The Notice of Appeal must be signed by the
Appellant.
Terms of Reference of the British Equestrian Federation Appeal Panel can be obtained from
British Dressage by sending in an SAE to the office or see BEF website.
The Notice of Appeal must be accompanied by a cheque for a fee of £300 not subject to VAT,
made payable to the ‘British Equestrian Federation’. This sum is to cover the costs and
expenses of appointing the Appeal Panel and will be retained by the BEF in the event that the
Appellant is unsuccessful but will be refunded in the event that the Appellant is successful
and in that case the Respondent will pay the fee of £300 to the BEF.
Pending the outcome of the appeal the Appeal Panel, once appointed, has the discretion to
order that the decision of the Respondent stands and that the Appellant is bound by that
decision until such time as the Appeal Panel issues their finding to the contrary.
Any member who has been penalised by the DSC and who has appealed such decision to the
BEF’s Appeal Panel and is dissatisfied with such Panel’s decision, may appeal to Sports
Resolution UK whose terms of reference may be obtained from British Dressage or the BEF.
105
Powers of British Dressage Officials to issue cautions and reprimands
Annex 4
Any British Dressage Official may issue a caution or reprimand, either in writing or orally, at any
time to any Member where they are of the reasonable opinion that a Member has breached any
rule or, whether by act or omission, may result in harm to the reputation of the sport of
dressage or affect the welfare of the horse. Such caution or reprimand will be notified to the
Chief Executive who shall retain a record of such caution or reprimand. All cautions and
reprimands shall expire 2 years after the date that such caution or reprimand was given.
A Member may appeal against any such caution or reprimand by writing to the Chief
Executive within 14 days. The Chief Executive shall reconsider the issue of such caution or
reprimand and may either deal with the matter under the Summary Powers of the Chief
Executive set below and/or may refer the matter to the Disciplinary SubCommittee.
In the event that a Member receives 2 or more cautions or reprimands the matter shall be
dealt with by the Chief Executive.
For the purposes of this section a British Dressage Official shall include the Chief Executive,
any member of the Board of British Dressage, a Judge, any member of the Disciplinary Sub
Committee, a Team Manager, any official delegate or steward appointed by British Dressage
to officiate at any affiliated competition or training event.
Summary powers of the Chief Executive
The Chief Executive may impose penalties on members and/or officials of fines not exceeding
£250. In respect of any infringement of the Rules where the Chief Executive considers the
infringement of the rules to be a minor infringement. In such event the Chief Executive shall
give notice to the Member of the intention to treat the matter as a minor infringement and
the penalty it is intended to impose. The Member may within 21 days object to the
treatment of the complaint as a minor infringement and/or object to the proposed penalty
and request that the matter be referred to the Disciplinary SubCommittee.
Such requests shall be made in writing to the Chief Executive. Such fines may be imposed on
anyone bound by the rules with or without disqualification of the horse or pony concerned
from any competition. If the horse or pony is not disqualified, any points gained in these
circumstances will remain on its grading record. In the event of a horse or pony competing in
a class for which it is not eligible it will be disqualified from that competition and all points
and prize money won will be forfeited.
If a competitor, horse or pony qualifies for a further competition as a result of a competition
for which he, she or it was not eligible for any reason, the qualification will be cancelled,
whether or not a fine or penalty has been imposed. Provided the cancellation of such
qualification has been confirmed by the Chief Executive before the normal closing date for
the next round of the competition or championship, the qualification will pass to the next
eligible competitor, horse or pony, if any.
Summary powers of a Team Manager
The Chef d’Equipe or Team Manager or his/her duly authorised deputy whilst accompanying
members on a course of training or on a tour or team visit (whether or not such course of
training or tour or team visit takes place in Great Britain) shall have power in his/her absolute
discretion to regulate, control and/or adjudicate upon the conduct of members on such
course of training, tour or team visit and shall have the power to direct that a member shall
be suspended from competing or taking part in such course of training or in any competition
taking place on such tour or team visit.

ANNEX 6
Dressage Definitions
The scales of training
The way of going
Dressage is about retaining and developing each horse’s natural athleticism. We want him to
do the movements but not dourly and subserviently. We want him to be willing and
gymnastic, and the way of going is just as important as achieving the technical requirements
(such as halting four square). More and more emphasis is being put on the way of going, the
quality of the work, and it is no longer sufficient to simply do the movements.
For the shoulderin it is not just a matter of checking the angle and positioning but also
whether the horse has rhythm, suppleness, contact, impulsion, straightness and collection.
Similarly for lengthened strides the Judge should ask not just: “was there lengthening?” but
also: “was there rhythm, suppleness, contact, straightness?”
The most tried and tested ways of understanding the way of going are the German Scales of
Training. These are what the riders in the most successful dressage nation in the world learn
in their early years of riding and what the leading international judges talk about at the
seminars they give.
Those Scales of Training are:
• Rhythm
• Suppleness
• Contact
• Impulsion
• Straightness
• and eventually, Collection
As a rule the training scales are approached in that order but there are times when one is
skipped over to work on another. However, until the horse works with rhythm, it will be
difficult to make him supple, and until supple, contact will be spasmodic and until the contact
is true, impulsion will be illusive.
Also the scales should improve and be of a higher standard the more advanced the training.
Therefore the suppleness accepted in a young novice horse as being good enough to start
working more on the contact and impulsion will be much less than that expected in a horse
that is advanced enough to learn flying changes.
Rhythm
Rhythm should be both:
1.
Regular, that is correct for each pace.
In the walk there should be four hoof beats – in a marching time.
In the trot two hoof beats – the legs move in diagonal pairs plus a moment of suspension
when all legs are off the ground.
In the canter three hoof beats – only one diagonal pair move together and there is a
moment of suspension.
2. The same tempo (speed of the rhythm) and this should have a pronounced beat to it. The
horse should not speed up or slow down whether he is going around a corner or on a
straight line, whether he is lengthening his strides or shortening them.
112
The aim is that the horse’s muscles have tone and are free from resistance, his joints are
loose and he does not tighten against the rider’s aids. The muscles that are really important
are those over the top line from the hind legs over the quarters, loins, in front of the wither
and up to the poll.
Contact
The ideal contact is a light, even, elastic feel in both reins and this is achieved by aids from
the legs and seat, not the hands. The legs are applied as a driving aid, the horse steps under
more and works ‘through’ those muscles along his top line – over the back, neck, through the
poll and the rider feels the energy thus created in the reins. When the contact is established
in this way his outline and steps will be ‘round’ not hollow, and in the trot and canter springy
and not flat. The horse’s hindquarters and forehand are connected by that band of muscles
over the top line and the rider can feel this in his hands as there will be a lively forward
tendency in the reins. The horse is then said to be ‘connected’.
The test of whether a horse is supple and working ‘through’ the back and neck is that when
the rein contact is eased (as in a free walk) the horse wants to stretch forward and down and
not try to hollow and lift his head.
Annex 6
Suppleness
Impulsion
This is the contained power of the horse. It is created in the hindquarters by getting him to
take more energetic steps, to place his hind legs further under his body, and it is contained by
the rein contact that stops him from using up this extra energy to simply go faster. Any
resistance, tightening of muscles, ligaments and joints, will block this energy getting through
so he must be supple and connected to be able to build up real impulsion.
Riders aim to create enough impulsion to develop the horse’s ability and to show off his
athleticism but not so much that it cannot be controlled. The skill of the rider is to create as
much energy as can be contained without the horse starting to pull and speed up.
Straightness
Horses, like humans, are born one sided and will tend to move forward with their bodies
slightly curved. This crookedness can get worse if a rider sits to one side and/or keeps a
stronger contact in one rein than the other.
When a horse is crooked it will be more difficult for him to stay balanced and develop
impulsion.
The aim is that the hind legs step into the tracks of the forelegs both on a straight line and on
a circle, and that the rider has an even feel in his reins.
Collection
Dressage makes the horse a better ride, more manoeuvrable, more powerful and easier to
control. To achieve this, his balance has to be changed as he has to adjust to carry the weight of
the rider in the most efficient way. When he is first ridden he will carry most of the rider’s weight
on his forehand. This is cumbersome; he will tend to run faster when asked to lengthen his strides,
he will find it difficult to stop quickly and will often lean on the rider’s hands to keep his balance.
Through training the necessary muscles are built up and he is taught how to carry more and
more weight on his hindquarters. This lightens his forehand, gives more freedom to move his
shoulders and he will become an easier and more athletic ride.
113
Annex 6
Over time the horse is asked for more and more collection so his hind legs step further
forward under his body and as he does this, the weight will be transferred backwards, he will
be developing the carrying power of the hindquarters.
In Grand Prix this collection is such a high level that the horse can trot on the spot in piaffe or
turn around practically on the spot in the canter pirouette. In Pony Club and Novice tests no
collection is asked for but there are movements that start to develop the collection. These
include when the horse comes into a halt or changes from lengthened strides to a working
trot. As he stops or shortens his steps he should step more under his body with his hind legs
and transfer a little more of his weight onto his hindquarters, this is the beginning of
collection.
Summary
The Scales of Training can be used as helpful checks on the way of going for the rider when
doing a movement, for the Judge when marking a movement, and the spectator when
looking at a movement. When there is rhythm, suppleness, contact, impulsion, straightness
and in the more advanced tests collection, the way of going is good.
Definitions of movements ridden in National tests
Turns and circles
A rider in movement along the outer track will continue along it on the same rein, without
alteration of pace or manner of riding, until instructed to do otherwise. If required to leave
this track and return to it (e.g. when circling), the rider will continue along the track in the
same manner of going as he left it and on the same rein unless instructed to do otherwise.
For a simple ‘Turn right (or left)’ the rider will change direction through 90° by riding a quarter
of a small circle (as at a corner) beginning before reaching the marker and finishing on a line
at right angles to the track and directly opposite the marker.
For ‘Turn right (or left)’ at any marker the rider will turn in a similar manner but will finish on
the outer track. (N.B. – the horse must not begin by swinging out in the opposite direction
and then cross the line of approach).
Change of pace at a given marker
The horse should make the first step in the new pace as the rider passes the marker. (When
the transitions are progressive they must begin before reaching the marker). Where a
movement requires medium or extended canter followed by a transition to collected trot,
some collection should be shown just before the transition.
Simple change
Simple change of the leg at canter. This is a change of leg where the horse is brought back
immediately into walk and, after approx. one horse’s length, is restarted immediately into a
canter with the other leg leading. The walk steps should be clearly shown. A simple change is
always through the walk. If walk steps are not required the movement should be described as
a ‘change of leg/lead through trot’ and NOT as a simple change.
Give and retake the reins
The rider pushes one or both hands, as stated on the test sheet, towards the bit to clearly
release the contact and then retakes it. The movement of the hands/hand should be
continuous and achieved over two or three strides. As this is a test of self carriage the horse
should stay in balance, keeping the same rhythm, level of engagement, suppleness of the
back, and accept the restoration of contact without any loss of submission.
114
After the final salute the rider should move off from the halt at a walk on a long rein and leave
the arena at an appropriate place.
Work on a long rein
Annex 6
Leave the arena
Free walk on a long rein
Trot/canter on a long rein
The horse is allowed the freedom to lower and stretch his head and neck forward and down
while the rider maintains a light contact through the reins. The horse should continue to
trot/canter in the same rhythm, with suppleness of the back and self carriage.
Free walk on a long rein is a pace in which the horse is allowed complete freedom to
lower and stretch out his head and neck while the rider maintains a light contact through
the rein. The horse covers as much ground as possible, without haste and without losing
the regularity of his steps, the hind feet touching the ground clearly in front of the foot
prints of the forefeet.
Large walk half pirouette
The principles are as in the walk pirouette but are performed with less collection. They are
approached out of a medium walk although the rider can shorten the walk just before them.
The hind legs are permitted to make a half circle of 1 metre in diameter and the horse returns
to the track on a straight line without taking sideways steps.
FEI Object and General Principles of Dressage, by kind permission of the FEI
1. The object of Dressage is the development of the horse into a happy athlete through
harmonious education. As a result, it makes the horse calm, supple, loose and flexible, but
also confident, attentive and keen, thus achieving perfect understanding with the athlete.
These qualities are demonstrated by:
•
The freedom and regularity of the paces.
•
The harmony, lightness and ease of the movements.
•
The lightness of the forehand and the engagement of the hindquarters, originating
from a lively impulsion.
•
The acceptance of the bit, with submissiveness/throughness (Durchlässigkeit)
without any tension or resistance.
2. The horse thus gives the impression of doing, of its own accord, what is required.
Confident and attentive, submitting generously to the control of the athlete, remaining
absolutely straight in any movement on a straight line and bending accordingly when
moving on curved lines.
3. The walk is regular, free and unconstrained. The trot is free, supple, regular and active.
The canter is united, light and balanced. The hindquarters are never inactive or sluggish.
The horse responds to the slightest indication of the Athlete and thereby gives life and
spirit to all the rest of its body.
4. By virtue of a lively impulsion and the suppleness of the joints, free from the paralysing
effects of resistance, the horse obeys willingly and without hesitation and responds to
the various aids calmly and with precision, displaying a natural and harmonious balance
both physically and mentally.

Annex 6
5.
In all the work, even at the halt, the horse must be “on the bit”. A horse is said to be “on
the bit” when the neck is more or less raised and arched according to the stage of
training and the extension or collection of the pace, accepting the bridle with a light and
consistent soft submissive contact. The head should remain in a steady position, as a rule
slightly in front of the vertical, with a supple poll as the highest point of the neck, and no
resistance should be offered to the athlete.
6. Cadence is shown in trot and canter and is the result of the proper harmony that a Horse
shows when it moves with wellmarked regularity, impulsion and balance. Cadence must be
maintained in all the different trot or canter exercises and in all the variations of these paces.
7.
The regularity of the paces is fundamental to Dressage.
The Halt
1.
At the halt the horse should stand attentive, engaged, motionless, straight and square
with the weight evenly distributed over all four (4) legs. The neck should be raised with
the poll as the highest point and the noseline slightly in front of the vertical. While
remaining “on the bit” and maintaining a light and soft contact with the athlete’s hand,
the horse may quietly chew the bit and should be ready to move off at the slightest
indication of the athlete. The halt must be shown for at least 3 seconds. The halt should
be shown throughout the salute.
2. The halt is obtained by the displacement of the horse’s weight to the hindquarters by a
properly increased action of the seat and legs of the athlete, driving the horse towards a
softly closed hand, causing an almost instantaneous but not abrupt halt at a previously
fixed place. The halt is prepared by a series of halfhalts (see transitions).
3.
116
The quality of the paces before and after the halt is an integral part of the assessment.
1. The walk is a marching pace in a regular and wellmarked four (4) times beat with equal
intervals between each beat. This regularity combined with full relaxation must be
maintained throughout all walk movements.
3. The following walks are recognised: Medium walk, Collected walk, Extended walk and
Free walk. There should always be a clear difference in the attitude and overtracking in
these variations.
3.1. Medium walk. A clear, regular and unconstrained walk of moderate lengthening. The
horse, remaining “on the bit”, walks energetically but relaxed with even and
determined steps, the hind feet touching the ground in front of the hoof prints of the
fore feet. The athlete maintains a light, soft and steady contact with the mouth,
allowing the natural movement of the horse’s head and neck.
3.2. Collected walk. The horse, remains “on the bit”, moves resolutely forward, with its
neck raised and arched and showing a clear selfcarriage. The head approaches the
vertical position and a light contact is maintained with the mouth. The hind legs are
engaged with good hock action. The pace should remain marching and vigorous, the
feet being placed in regular sequence. The steps cover less ground and are higher than
at the medium walk, because all the joints bend more markedly. The Collected walk is
shorter than the Medium walk, although showing greater activity.
2. When the foreleg and the hind leg on the same side move almost on the same beat, the
walk tends to become an almost lateral movement. This irregularity, which might
become an ambling movement, is a serious deterioration of the pace.
Annex 6
The Walk
3.3. Extended walk. The horse covers as much ground as possible, without haste and
without losing the regularity of the steps. The hind feet touch the ground clearly in
front of the hoof prints of the fore feet. The athlete allows the horse to stretch out the
head and neck (forward and downwards) without losing contact with the mouth and
control of the poll. The nose must be clearly in front of the vertical.
3.4. Free Walk. The free walk is a pace of relaxation in which the horse is allowed complete
freedom to lower and stretch out his head and neck. The degree of ground cover and
length of strides, with hind feet stepping clearly in front of the footprints of the front
feet, are essential to the quality of the free walk.
117
Annex 6
3.5. Stretching on a long rein. This exercise gives a clear impression of the
"throughness" of the horse and proves its balance, suppleness, obedience and
relaxation. In order to execute the exercise "stretching on a long rein" correctly,
the athlete must lengthen the reins as the horse stretches gradually forward and
downward. As the neck stretches forwards and downwards, the mouth should
reach more or less to the horizontal line corresponding with the point of the
shoulder. An elastic and consistent contact with the athlete's hands must be
maintained. The pace must maintain its rhythm, and the horse should remain light
in the shoulders with the hindlegs well engaged. During the retake of the reins the
horse must accept the contact without resistance in the mouth or poll.
The Trot
1. The trot is a two (2)beat pace of alternate diagonal legs (left fore and right hind leg and
vice versa) separated by a moment of suspension.
2. The trot should show free, active and regular steps.
3. The quality of the trot is judged by general impression, i.e. the regularity and elasticity of
the steps, the cadence and impulsion in both collection and extension. This quality
originates from a supple back and wellengaged hindquarters, and by the ability to
maintain the same rhythm and natural balance with all variations of the trot.
4. The following trots are recognised: Working trot, Lengthening of steps, Collected trot,
Medium trot and Extended trot.
4.1. Working trot. This is a pace between the Collected and the Medium trot, in which a
horse’s training is not yet developed enough and ready for collected movements. The
Horse shows proper balance and, remaining “on the bit”, goes forward with even,
elastic steps and good hock action. The expression “good hock action” underlines the
importance of an impulsion originating from the activity of the hindquarters.
4.2. Lengthening of steps. In the test for four (4)yearold horses "lengthening of steps" is
required. This is a variation between the Working and Medium trot in which a Horse’s
training is not developed enough for Medium trot.
4.3. Collected trot. The horse, remaining “on the bit”, moves forward with the neck raised
and arched. The hocks, being wellengaged and flexed, must maintain an energetic
impulsion, enabling the shoulders to move with greater mobility, thus demonstrating
complete selfcarriage. Although the horse’s steps are shorter than in the other trots,
elasticity and cadence are not lessened.
4.4. Medium trot. This is a pace of moderate lengthening compared to the Extended trot,
but “rounder” than the latter. Without hurrying, the horse goes forward with clearly
lengthened steps and with impulsion from the hindquarters. The athlete allows the
horse to carry the head a little more in front of the vertical than at the Collected and
the Working trot, and to lower the head and neck slightly. The steps should be even,
and the whole movement balanced and unconstrained.and the whole movement
balanced and unconstrained.
4.5. Extended trot. The horse covers as much ground as possible. Without hurrying, the
steps are lengthened to the utmost as a result of great impulsion from the
hindquarters. The athlete allows the horse to lengthen the frame and to gain ground
whilst controlling the poll. The fore feet should touch the ground on the spot towards
which they are pointing. The movement of the fore and hind legs should reach equally
forward in the moment of extension. The whole movement should be wellbalanced
and the transition to Collected trot should be smoothly executed by taking more
weight on the hindquarters.
118
All trot work is executed “sitting”, unless otherwise indicated in the test.
1.
The canter is a three (3)beat pace where, in canter to the right, for example, the footfall is
as follows: left hind, left diagonal (simultaneously left fore and right hind), right fore,
followed by a moment of suspension with all four (4) feet in the air before the next stride
begins.
The Canter
Annex 6
5.
2. The canter, always with light, cadenced and regular strides, should be moved into without
hesitation.
3. The quality of the canter is judged by the general impression, i.e. the regularity and
lightness of the steps and the uphill tendency and cadence originating from the acceptance
of the bridle with a supple poll and in the engagement of the hindquarters with an active
hock action – and by the ability of maintaining the same rhythm and a natural balance,
even after a transition from one (1) canter to another. The horse should always remain
straight on straight lines and correctly bent on curved lines.
4. The following canters are recognised: Working canter, Lengthening of strides, Collected
canter, Medium canter and Extended canter.
4.1. Working canter. This is a pace between the Collected and the Medium canter, in
which a horse’s training is not yet developed enough and ready for collected
movements. The horse shows natural balance while remaining “on the bit”, and goes
forward with even, light and active strides and good hock action. The expression
“good hock action” underlines the importance of an impulsion originating from the
activity of the hindquarters.
4.2. Lengthening of strides. In the test for four (4)yearold horses "lengthening of strides"
is required. This is a variation between the Working and Medium canter in which a
horse’s training is not developed enough for Medium canter.
4.3. Collected canter. The horse, remaining “on the bit”, moves forward with the neck
raised and arched. The hocks, being wellengaged, maintain an energetic impulsion,
enabling the shoulders to move with greater mobility thus demonstrating self carriage
and an uphill tendency. The horse’s strides are shorter than in the other canters,
without losing elasticity and cadence.
4.4. Medium canter. This is a pace between the Working and the Extended canter. Without
hurrying, the horse goes forward with clearly lengthened strides and impulsion from
the hindquarters. The athlete allows the horse to carry the head a little more in front of
the vertical than in the Collected and Working canter, and at the same time allows the
horse, to lower the head and neck slightly. The strides should be balanced and
unconstrained.
119
Annex 6
4.5. Extended canter. The horse covers as much ground as possible. Without hurrying, the
strides are lengthened to the utmost. The horse remains calm, light and straight as a result
of great impulsion from the hindquarters. The athlete allows the horse to lengthen the
frame with a controlled poll and to gain ground. The whole movement should be well
balanced and the transition to Collected canter should be smoothly executed by taking
more weight on the hindquarters.
4.6. Counter–canter. The Counter canter is a balancing and straightening movement that
must be executed in collection. The horse canters in correct sequence with the outside
foreleg leading with positioning to the side of the leading leg. The foreleg should be
aligned to the same track as the hind leg.
4.7. Simple change of leg at the canter. This is a movement in which, after a direct
transition out of the canter into a walk, with three (3) to five (5) clearly defined steps,
an immediate transition is made into the other canter lead.
4.8. Flying change of leg. The flying change is performed in one (1) stride with the front and
hind legs changing at the same moment. The change of the leading front and hind leg
takes place during the moment of suspension. The aids should be precise and
unobtrusive.
Flying changes of leg can also be executed in series at every 4th, 3rd, 2nd or at every stride. The
horse, even in the series, remains light, calm and straight with lively impulsion, maintaining the
same rhythm and balance throughout the series concerned. In order not to restrict or restrain
the lightness, fluency and groundcover of the flying changes in series, enough impulsion must
be maintained.
Aims of flying changes: To show the reaction, sensitivity and obedience of the horse to the aids
for the change of leg.
Reinback
120
1.
Reinback is a rearward diagonal movement with a two (2)beat rhythm but without a
moment of suspension. Each diagonal pair of legs is raised and returned to the ground
alternately, with the forelegs aligned on the same track as the hindlegs.
2.
During the entire exercise, the horse should remain “on the bit”, maintaining its desire to
move forward.
Anticipation or precipitation of the movement, resistance to or evasion of the contact,
deviation of the hindquarters from the straight line, spreading or inactive hind legs and
dragging forefeet are serious faults.
4. The steps are counted as each foreleg moves back. After completing the required number
of steps backward, the horse should show a square halt or move forward in the required
pace immediately. In tests where a Reinback of one (1) Horse’s length is required, it should
be executed with three (3) or four (4) steps.
Reinback series (Schaukel) is a combination of two (2) reinbacks with walk steps in
between. It should be executed with fluent transitions and the required number of steps.
Transitions
The changes of pace and variations within the paces should be exactly performed at the
prescribed marker. The cadence (except in walk) should be maintained up to the moment
when the pace or movement is changed or the horse halts. The transitions within the paces
must be clearly defined while maintaining the same rhythm and cadence throughout. The
horse should remain light in hand, calm, and maintain a correct position.
The same applies to transitions from one (1) movement to another, for instance from
passage to piaffe or vice versa.
5.
Annex 6
3.
Half Halts
Every movement or transition should be invisibly prepared by barely perceptible half halts.
The half halt is an almost simultaneous, coordinated action of the seat, the legs and the
hands of the athlete, with the object of increasing the attention and balance of the horse
before the execution of the movements or transitions to lower and higher paces. By
shifting slightly more weight onto the Horse’s hindquarters, the engagement of the hind
legs and the balance on the haunches are improved for the benefit of the lightness of the
forehand and the horse’s balance as a whole.
Changes of Directions
1.
At changes of direction, the horse should adjust the bend of his body to the curvature
of the line it follows, remaining supple and following the indications of the athlete,
without any resistance or change of pace, rhythm or speed.
2. Changes of directions can be executed in the following ways:
a) Rightangled turn including riding through the corner (one 1 quarter of a volte of
approx. six 6 metres).
b) Short and long diagonal.
c)
Half voltes and half circles with change of rein.
d) Half pirouettes and turn on the haunches.
e) Serpentine loops.
f)
Counterchanges of hand (in zigzag)*. The horse should be straight for a moment
before changing direction. *Zigzag: A movement containing more than two (2)
halfpasses with changes of direction.
121
Annex 6
The Figures Transitions
The figures asked in Dressage tests are the voltes, the serpentines and the figures of eight.
Volte
The volte is a circle of six (6), eight (8) or ten (10) metres in diameter. If larger than ten (10)
metres it is a circle.
Serpentine
The serpentine with several loops touching the long side of the arena consists of half circles
connected by a straight line. When crossing the centreline, the horse should be parallel to the
short side (a). Depending on the size of the half circles, the straight connection varies in length.
Serpentines with one (1) loop on the long side of the arena are executed with five (5) metres or
ten (10) metres distance from the track (b). Serpentines around the centre line are executed
between the quarter lines (c).
Figure of eight
This figure consists of two (2) voltes or circles of equal size as prescribed in the test, joined at
the centre of the eight (8). The athlete should make his horse straight an instant before
changing direction at the centre of the figure.
122
Annex 6
1.
The aim of leg yielding: To demonstrate the suppleness and lateral responsiveness of the horse.
2.
Legyielding is performed in Working trot in FEI Competitions. The horse is almost straight,
except for a slight flexion at the poll away from the direction in which it moves, so that the
Athlete is just able to see the eyebrow and nostril on the inside. The inside legs pass and
cross in front of the outside legs.
Leg Yielding
Legyielding should be included in the training of the horse before it is ready for Collected
work. Later on, together with the more advanced shoulderin movement, it is the best
means of making a horse supple, loose and unconstrained for the benefit of the freedom,
elasticity and regularity of its paces and the harmony, lightness and ease of its movements.
Leg yielding can be performed “on the diagonal” in which case the horse should be as
nearly as possible parallel to the long sides of the arena, although the forehand should be
slightly in advance of the hindquarters. It can also be performed “along the wall” in which
case the horse should be at an angle of about thirty five (35) degrees to the direction in
which he is moving.
Lateral Movements
1.
The main aim of lateral movements – except legyielding is to develop and increase the
engagement of the hindquarters and thereby also the collection.
2.
In all lateral movements shoulderin, travers, renvers, and halfpass, the horse is slightly
bent and moves on different tracks.
3. The bend or flexion must never be exaggerated so that it does not impair the rhythm, the
balance and fluency of the movement.
4.
In the lateral movements, the pace should remain free and regular, maintaining a constant
impulsion, yet it must be supple, cadenced and balanced. The impulsion is often lost
because of the athlete’s preoccupation with bending the horse and pushing it sideways.
5.
Shoulderin. The shoulderin is performed in Collected trot. The horse is ridden with a slight
but uniform bend around the inside leg of the athlete maintaining engagement and
cadence and a constant angle of approx. thirty (30) degrees. The horse’s inside foreleg
passes and crosses in front of the outside foreleg; the inside hind leg steps forward under
the horse’s body weight following the same track of the outside foreleg, with the lowering
of the inside hip. The horse is bent away from the direction in which it is moving.
123
Annex 6
6. Travers. Travers can be performed in Collected trot or Collected canter. The horse is
slightly bent round the inside leg of the athlete but with a greater degree of bend than in
shoulderin. A constant angle of approximately thirty five (35) degrees should be shown
(from the front and from behind one 1 sees four 4 tracks). The forehand remains on
the track and the quarters are moved inwards. The horse’s outside legs pass and cross in
front of the inside legs. The horse is bent in the direction in which it is moving.
To start the travers, the quarters must leave the track or, after a corner or circle, are not
brought back onto the track. At the end of the travers, the quarters are brought back on
the track (without any counterflexion of the poll/neck) as one (1) would finish a circle.
Aims of travers: To show a fluent Collected trot movement on a straight line and a
correct bend. Front and hind legs are crossing, balance and cadence are maintained.
7.
Renvers. Renvers is the inverse movement in relation to travers. The hindquarters remain
on the track while the forehand is moved inward. To finish the renvers the forehand is
aligned with the quarters on the track. Otherwise, the same principles and conditions
that apply to the travers are applicable to the renvers.
The horse is slightly bent around the inside leg of the athlete. The horse’s outside legs
pass and cross in front of the inside legs. The horse is bent in the direction in which it is
moving.
Aims of renvers: To show a fluent Collected trot movement on a straight line with a
greater degree of bend than in shoulderin. Fore and hind legs cross, balance and
cadence are maintained.
8. Half pass. Halfpass is a variation of travers, executed on a diagonal line instead of along
the wall. It can be performed in Collected trot (and in passage in a freestyle) or Collected
canter. The horse should be slightly bent around the inside leg of the athlete and in the
direction in which it is moving. The horse should maintain the same cadence and balance
throughout the whole movement. In order to give more freedom and mobility to the
shoulders, it is of great importance that the impulsion be maintained, especially the
engagement of the inside hind leg. The horse’s body is nearly parallel to the long side of
the arena with the forehand slightly in advance of the hindquarters.
In the trot, the outside legs pass and cross in front of the inside legs. In the canter, the
movement is performed in a series of forward/sideways strides.
Aims of halfpass in trot: To show a fluent collected trot movement on a diagonal line
with a greater degree of bend than in shoulderin. Fore and hind legs cross, balance and
cadence are maintained.
Aims of the halfpass in canter: To both demonstrate and develop the collection and
suppleness of the canter by moving fluently forwards and sideways without any loss of
rhythm, balance or softness and submission to the bend.
124
Annex 6
The Pirouette, Half Pirouette and turn on the haunches
1.
The Pirouette (halfpirouette) is a turn of three hundred and sixty (360) degrees (hundred
and eighty 180 degrees) executed on two (2) tracks, with a radius equal to the length of
the horse and the forehand moving around the haunches.
2.
Pirouettes (halfpirouettes) are usually carried out at Collected walk or canter, but can also
be executed at piaffe.
3.
At the pirouette (halfpirouette) the forefeet and the outside hind foot move around the
inside hind foot. The inside hind leg describes a circle as small as possible.
4. At whatever pace the pirouette (halfpirouette) is executed, the horse, slightly bent in the
direction in which it is turning, remains “on the bit” with light contact, turning smoothly
around, and maintaining sequence and timing of footfalls of that pace. The poll remains
the highest point during the entire movement.
5.
During the pirouettes (halfpirouettes), the horse should maintain its activity (walk also
included) and never move backwards or sideways.
6. In executing the pirouette or the halfpirouette in canter, the athlete should maintain
lightness of the horse while accentuating the collection. The horse’s hindquarters are well
engaged and lowered and show a good flexion of the joints. An integral part of the
movement is the quality of the canter strides before and after the pirouette. The strides
should show an increased activity and collection before the pirouette and the balance
should be maintained at the end of the pirouette.
125
Annex 6
Aims of the pirouette and halfpirouette in canter: To demonstrate the willingness of the
horse to turn around the inside hind leg on a small radius, slightly bent in the direction of
the turn while maintaining the activity and the clarity of the canter, the straightness and
the balance before and after the figure and clear canter strides during the turn. In the
pirouette or halfpirouette in canter, the Judges should be able to recognize a real canter
stride although the feet of the diagonal – inside hind leg, outside front leg – are not
touching the ground simultaneously.
7.
The quality of the pirouettes (halfpirouettes) is judged according to the suppleness,
lightness and regularity, and the precision and smoothness of the entrance and exit.
Pirouettes (halfpirouettes) in canter should be executed in six (6) to eight (8) strides – full
pirouettes – and three to four (4) strides – halfpirouette.
8.
Halfpirouettes in walk (180 degrees) are executed out of Collected walk with the collection
being maintained throughout the exercise. When the horse exits the halfpirouette it
returns to the initial track without crossing the hind legs.
9. Turn on the haunches from walk. For younger horses that are still not able to show
Collected walk the “turn on the haunches” is an exercise to prepare the horse for collection.
The “turn on the haunches” is executed out of Medium walk prepared by half halts to
shorten the steps a little and to improve the ability to bend the joints of the hindquarters.
The horse does not halt before or after the turn. The “turn on the haunches” can be
executed on a larger radius (approx. ½m) than the pirouette in walk, but the demands of
the training scale concerning rhythm, contact, activity and straightness are the same.
10. Turn on the haunches from halt to halt (180 degrees). To maintain the forward tendency of
the movement one (1) or two (2) forward steps at the beginning of the turn are permitted.
The same criteria apply as for the turn on the haunches from walk.
126
Passage is a measured, very collected, elevated and cadenced trot. It is characterised by a
pronounced engagement of the hindquarters, a more accentuated flexion of the knees and
hocks, and the graceful elasticity of the movement. Each diagonal pair of legs is raised and
returned to the ground alternately, with cadence and a prolonged suspension.
2.
In principle, the height of the toe of the raised forefoot should be level with the middle of
the cannon bone of the other supporting foreleg. The toe of the raised hind foot should be
slightly above the fetlock joint of the other supporting hind leg.
3. The neck should be raised and gracefully arched with the poll as the highest point and the
nose line close to the vertical. The horse should remain light, and soft “on the bit” without
altering the cadence. The impulsion remains lively and pronounced.
4.
Irregular steps with the hind or front legs, swinging the forehand or the hindquarters from
one (1) side to the other, as well as jerky movements of the forelegs or the hind legs,
dragging the hind legs or double beat in the moment of suspension are serious faults.
The aim of passage is too demonstrate the highest degree of collection, cadence and
suspension in the trot.
1.
Annex 6
Passage
Piaffe
1.
Piaffe is a highly collected, cadenced, elevated diagonal movement giving the impression
of remaining in place. The horse’s back is supple and elastic. The hindquarters are lowered;
the haunches with active hocks are well engaged, giving great freedom, lightness and
mobility to the shoulders and forehand. Each diagonal pair of legs is raised and returned to
the ground alternately, with spring and an even cadence.
1.1. In principle, the height of the toe of the raised forefoot should be level with the middle
of the cannon bone of the other supporting foreleg. The toe of the raised hind foot
should reach just above the fetlock joint of the other supporting hind leg.
1.2. The neck should be raised and gracefully arched, with the poll as the highest point. The
horse should remain “on the bit” with a supple poll, maintaining soft contact. The body
of the horse should move in a supple, cadenced and harmonious movement.
1.3. Piaffe must always be animated by a lively impulsion and characterised by perfect
balance. While giving the impression of remaining in place, there may be a visible
inclination to advance, this being displayed by the horse’s eager acceptance to move
forward as soon as it is asked.
1.4. Moving even slightly backwards, irregular or jerky steps with the hind or front legs, no
clear diagonal steps, crossing either the fore or hind legs, or swinging either the
forehand or the hindquarters from one (1) side to the other, getting wide behind or in
front, moving too much forward or doublebeat rhythm are all serious faults.
The aim of piaffe is to demonstrate the highest degree of collection while giving the
impression of remaining in place.
Impulsion and Submission
1.
Impulsion is the term used to describe the transmission of an eager and energetic, yet
controlled, propulsive energy generated from the hind quarters into the athletic
movement of the horse. Its ultimate expression can be shown only through the horse's soft
and swinging back guided by gentle contact with the athlete's hand.
127
Annex 6
1.1. Speed, of itself, has little to do with impulsion; the result is more often a flattening of
the paces. A visible characteristic is a more pronounced articulation of the hind leg,
in a continuous rather than staccato action. The hock, as the hind foot leaves the
ground, should first move forward rather than being pulled upwards, but certainly
not backwards. A prime ingredient of impulsion is the time the horse spends in the
air rather than on the ground. Impulsion is, therefore, seen only in those paces that
have a period of suspension.
1.2. Impulsion is a precondition for a good collection in trot and canter. If there is no
impulsion, then there is nothing to collect.
2. Submission does not mean subordination, but an obedience revealing its presence by a
constant attention, willingness and confidence in the whole behaviour of the horse as
well as by the harmony, lightness and ease it is displaying in the execution of the
different movements.
The degree of the submission is also demonstrated by the way the horse accepts the bit,
with light and soft contact and a supple poll. Resistance to or evasion of the athlete’s
hand, being either “above the bit” or “behind the bit” demonstrate lack of submission.
The main contact with the horse’s mouth must be through the snaffle bit.
2.1. Putting out the tongue, keeping it above the bit or drawing it up altogether, as well
as grinding the teeth or agitation of the tail, are mostly signs of nervousness, tension
or resistance on the part of the horse and must be taken into account by the Judges
in their marks for every movement concerned, as well as in the collective mark for
“submission”.
2.2. The first thought when considering submission is willingness, that the horse
understands what is being asked of it and is confident enough in the athlete to react
to the aids without fear or tension.
2.3. The horse’s straightness, uphill tendency and balance enable it to stay in front of the
athlete’s legs and go forward into an accepting and selfcarrying contact with the
bit. This is what really produces the picture of harmony and lightness.
The fulfilling of the main requirements/movements of a Dressage test is the main
criterion for submission.
Collection
The aim of the collection of the horse is:
a) To further develop and improve the balance and equilibrium of the horse, which has
been more or less displaced by the additional weight of the athlete.
b) To develop and increase the horse's ability to lower and engage its hindquarters for the
benefit of the lightness and mobility of its forehand.
c)
To add to the “ease and carriage” of the horse and to make it more pleasurable to ride.
Collection is developed through the use of halfhalts and the use of lateral movements
shoulderin, travers, renvers and half pass.
Collection is improved and achieved by the use of the seat and legs and containing hands
to engage the hind legs. The joints bend and are supple so that the hind legs can step
forward under the horse’s body.
However, the hind legs should not be engaged so far forward under the horse, that they
shorten the base of support excessively, thereby impeding the movement. In such a
case, the line of the back would be lengthened and raised too much in relation to the
supporting base of the legs, the stability would be impaired and the horse would have
difficulty in finding a harmonious and correct balance.
128
The position of the head and neck of a horse at the collected paces is naturally dependent on
the stage of training and, to some degree, on its conformation. It is distinguished by the neck
being raised without restraint, forming a harmonious curve from the withers to the poll, which
is the highest point, with the nose slightly in front of the vertical. At the moment the athlete
applies his aids to obtain a momentary and passing collecting effect, the head may become
more or less vertical. The arch of the neck is directly related to the degree of collection.
Annex 6
On the other hand, a horse with an overlong base of support, which is unable or unwilling to
engage its hind legs forward under its body, will never achieve acceptable collection,
characterised by “ease and carriage” as well as a lively impulsion originating from the activity of
the hindquarters.
The Position and aids of the athlete
1.
All the movements should be obtained with imperceptible aids and without apparent effort
of the athlete. The athlete should be wellbalanced, elastic, sitting deep in the centre of the
saddle, smoothly absorbing the movement of the horse with his loins and hips, supple
thighs with the legs steady and stretched well down. The heels should be the lowest point.
The upper part of the body should be tall and supple. The contact should be independent
from the athlete’s seat. The hands should be carried steadily close together, with the
thumb as the highest point and a straight line from the supple elbow through the hand to
the horse’s mouth. The elbows should be close to the body. All of these criteria enable the
athlete to follow the movements of the horse smoothly and freely.
2. The effectiveness of the athlete’s aids determines the precise fulfilment of the required
movements of the tests. There shall always be the impression of a harmonious co
operation between horse and athlete.
3.
Riding with both hands is obligatory at FEI Dressage Events. When leaving the arena at a
walk on long rein, after having finished the test the athlete may, at his own discretion, ride
with only one (1) hand. For Freestyle tests, see also Directives for Judges – Freestyle tests
and Directives for assessing the degree of difficulty in a Freestyle test available at
www.fei.org.
4.
The use of the voice or clicking the tongue repeatedly is a serious fault.

Safeguarding Policy & Procedures
British Dressage fully accepts its legal (The Children’s Act 1989 & 2004) and moral obligation
to provide a duty of care, to protect all children (and vulnerable adults) and safeguard their
welfare, irrespective of age, any disability they have, gender, racial origin, religious belief and
sexual orientation. A child/young person is defined as a person under the age of 18 years
(The Children’s Act 1989 & 2004).
British Dressage along with all other British Equestrian Federation (BEF) member bodies,
adopts and adheres to the BEF Safeguarding Equestrian Sport Policy. The full policy and the
leaflet ‘Information and Guidance for Children in Equestrianism’ can be downloaded from the
British Dressage website www.britishdressage.co.uk (25 & Under / Child Protection) or BEF
website – www.bef.co.uk (Workforce / Safeguarding).
Policy aims
The aim of the British Dressage Safeguarding Policy is to promote good practice by:
•
Ensuring robust safeguarding arrangements and procedures are in operation to
provide children, young people and vulnerable adults with appropriate safety and
protection whilst at British Dressage affiliated competitions, U21 International
competitions, U25 competitions and training days allowing them to participate in a
fun, safe environment and in an atmosphere of fair play.
•
Taking all reasonable practical steps to protect children and vulnerable adults from
harm, discrimination and degrading treatment and respect their rights, wishes and
feelings.
•
Ensuring everyone understands their roles and responsibilities in respect of
safeguarding and is provided with appropriate learning opportunities to recognise,
identify and respond to signs of abuse, neglect and other safeguarding concerns
relating to children, young people and vulnerable adults.
•
That appropriate action is taken in the event of incidents/concerns of abuse and
support provided to the individual/s concerned and those who raise or disclose the
concern. All concerns or allegations of poor practise or abuse are taken seriously and
responded to swiftly and appropriately. It is the responsibility of child protection
experts to determine whether or not abuse has taken place but it is everyone’s
responsibility to report it.
•
That confidential, detailed and accurate records of all safeguarding concerns are
maintained and securely stored.
•
Maintaining high standards of behaviour and good practice through compliance with
BEF codes of conduct produced for staff, coaches, selectors and volunteers.
The policy will be reviewed every two years, or in the following circumstances:
changes in legislation and/or government guidance
•
as required by the Local Safeguarding Children Board, UK Sport and the BEF
•
as a result of any other significant change or event

131
Nominated Welfare Officer
Annex 7
BD appoints its Regional Development Officers and BYRDS Regional Representatives as
Nominated Welfare Officers (NWO) at regional training sessions, camps and competitions.
At Under 21 National and Squad sessions, Selectors will take on this role unless a Chef d’Equipe
is present. There will also be NWO’s at U25 events including the BYRDS InterRegional Squad
competition, BYRDS Home International and the U25 Championships (Sheepgate).
The role of the Nominated Welfare Officer is:
•
Adopt and promote the BEF and BD’s Safeguarding Policy
•
Be the first point of contact at the event or training session for volunteers, young
people or parents for any issue concerning safeguarding, child protection or welfare,
poor practice or potential/alleged abuse
•
Follow the procedures laid out in the BEF Safeguarding Equestrian Sport Policy for
recording and reporting information
•
Report any allegations or complaints to BD’s Lead Welfare Officer
•
Ensure confidentiality is maintained and information is only shared on a ‘need to know’
basis.
•
Have access to contact details for Children’s Services, the Police and LWO. Where
appropriate this information should be established with the assistance of the event
organiser before the affiliated event.
It is not the role of the NWO to be a Child Protection expert or to determine whether or not
abuse has taken place; their role is to record the details and seek guidance if necessary.
Code of Conduct
To ensure that all forms of abuse are prevented and to help protect people who work with
children and young riders, the following guidelines must be followed by all staff, officials,
members and volunteers:
132
•
Always work in an open environment (e.g. avoid situations where you and an
individual child are completely unobserved);
•
Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all competitors and treat everyone with
equality;
•
Ensure the welfare of each child in the context of winning or achieving goals;
•
Always promote the positive aspects of equestrianism and never condone rule
violations or the use of prohibited substances;
•
Ensure that if any form of manual/physical support is required, it should be provided
openly. Children should always be consulted and their agreement gained. Some
parents are becoming increasingly sensitive about manual support and their views
should always be carefully considered;
•
Recognise the developmental needs and capacity of children – avoid excessive training
or competition and do not push them against their will.
•
Secure written parental consent if there is any event where the children will be
unsupervised. If the need arises to administer emergency first aid and/or other
medical treatment, keep a written record of any injury that occurs, along with the
details of any treatment given.
Avoid spending excessive amounts of time alone with children away from others;
•
Avoid taking or droping off a child to an event unless there are 2 adults present;
•
Allow allegations made by a child to go unchallenged, unrecorded or not acted upon;
•
Do not do things of a personal nature for children or disabled adults that they can do
for themselves.
Note: It may sometimes be necessary for adults to do things of a personal nature for children
particularly if they are young or are disabled. These tasks should only be carried out with the
full understanding and consent of parents/carers. If a person is fully dependent on you, talk
with him/her about what you are doing and give choices where possible;
Officials, competitors and volunteers should never:
•
Engage in rough, physical or sexually provocative games;
•
Allow or engage in any form of inappropriate touching;
•
Allow children to use inappropriate language unchallenged;
•
Make sexually suggestive comments to a child, even in fun.
•
Do not invite or allow children to stay with you at your home unsupervised.
If any of the following occur you should report this immediately to another colleague and
record the incident. You should also ensure the parents of the child are informed:
•
If you accidentally hurt a child or young person;
•
If he/she seems distressed in any manner;
•
If a child misunderstands or misinterprets something you have done.
•
Annex 7
The following should be avoided except in emergencies. If cases arise where these situations
are unavoidable it should be with the full knowledge and consent of someone in charge at an
event or the child’s parents. For example, if a child sustains an injury and needs to go to
hospital or a parent fails to arrive to pick a child up at the end of an event:
Use of photographic/filming equipment at competitions/events
Whilst it is not intended to ban photography at events, organisers and officials must ensure
that proper safeguards are in place and adhered to.
There is a potential risk posed to young children through the use of photographs on websites
and in publications. There is evidence that shows that photographs have been used to
identify children that could place them at risk from those who wish to groom children for
abuse and used or adapted and placed on child pornography sites.
Therefore organisers of affiliated dressage events/training sessions/camps where riders
under the age of 18 yrs are attending, need to ensure that they follow the guidelines below.
Professional/official photographers/filming/video operators must:
•
Be given a clear brief
•
Gain accreditation in advance of the event
•
Wear identification at all times
•
Not be given unsupervised access to competitors under the age of 18 yrs
•
Not be allowed to take photographs outside the event (i.e. at a child’s home)
133
Annex 7
Any other spectators (e.g. parents/guardians/spectators) wishing to take photographs which
feature and clearly identify children i.e. close ups, teams etc. must register their name and
address with the secretary of the event and/or wear identification.
Permission/photography consent forms must be obtained from the child’s parents/guardians
before photographs are taken and the images used. These forms are available on the British
Dressage website – Safeguarding & Child Protection.
A notice confirming who the official photographer of the event is and that permission for
photographs to be taken/used must be gained from all U18’s parent/guardians, should be
clearly displayed in the secretary’s office or in a prominent position or in the event
programme.
All event officials and volunteers should be vigilant and any concerns should be reported to
the organiser of the event who should then forward this information to BD Lead Welfare
Officer.
Use of photographic/filming equipment by Coaches/Trainers
There is no intention to prevent coaches and trainers using video equipment as a legitimate
coaching aid. However, riders and their parents/carers should be made aware that this is part
of the coaching programme and such films should be:
•
stored securely;
•
used only by the trainer/coach for training purposes;
•
destroyed when the film is of no more value for training purposes or when requested
to do so by the parent or carer.
Equity and Equal Opportunities
•
British Dressage is fully committed to the principles of equality of opportunity and
aims to ensure that all people, irrespective of ability, race, gender, ethnic origin,
sexual orientation, social or political status have equal opportunities to take part in
dressage at any level and in any role;
•
seeks to educate and guide British Dressage members, their employees and
volunteers on the ownership, adoption and implementation of its equity plan;
•
intends to raise awareness of Equity through the implementation of this policy and
the adoption of an Equity Action Plan; and, as a result of this process;
•
aims to monitor, review and evaluate progress in achieving the stated aims and
objectives and to feed back to the BEF and member bodies on progress made.
British Dressage will ensure that its recruitment and selection procedures for volunteers, staff
and officials are fair and transparent, and meet the appropriate legal requirements.

Music Licence
Music Licence
Dressage to Music – PPL Licence requirements
The Licence that BD have negotiated with PPL enables our members to use, according to the
terms of the Licence, PPL repertoire music in affiliated Dressage to Music Competitions.
However members can also use non PPL music. BD Members wishing to take part in
Affiliated DTM classes must read the Licence Agreement and then read and sign the Sub
Licence Agreement which is attached to it. The SubLicence Agreement must then be sent to
BD as soon as possible. As well as the SubLicence Agreement members will also be required
to forward a copy of the “Music Licence Record Form”. This form records the nature and
length of tracks that are on the members CD/minidisc. You can check if your music is PPL or
not by looking on the PPL repertoire list.
To obtain a PPL repertoire please phone or email the Music Membership Officer at BD.
If the source of the music is not shown on the PPL list, it should be assumed that it is non PPL
and a note should be put on the music licence record form stating this.
If the label name cannot be found, a note stating that it has not been possible to source the
music should be shown on the music licence record.
The label name that appears on the PLL repertoire list needs to be cross referenced with the
label name that appears on your disc.
PPL will not appear on the disc anywhere.
There are always numerous pieces of information contained on a CD inlay card such as label,
music publishing company, distributor etc. The label releasing the album can usually be
found on either the spine of the CD or on the back cover near a P in a circle.
Once you have returned your completed forms you will be sent selfadhesive labels which
should be applied to the case containing the CD you will use at competitions, this is a PPL
licence requirement.

JUDGES & OFFICIALS PANEL
SECTION 1
Judges
Guidelines and Code of Conduct
List 4 Judges
Code of Conduct for Judges
Judges exercise exceptional authority, which in turn requires them to assume exceptional
responsibilities. Their overall effectiveness depends, not only on their technical competence and
knowledge of the rules, but also on their maturity of judgment, selfcontrol, flexibility and basic fairness
and integrity. Beyond this, all Judges must be scrupulously careful to guard against any appearance or
actuality of conflict of interest. In all questionable cases it is always wiser to acknowledge a
possible source of a conflict and stand aside rather than permit suspicions to gain strength.
This code of conduct applies to British Dressage Judges at all times when attending or judging at
competitions. It should be considered in conjunction with the current British Dressage Rule Book.
1.
Judges should act with integrity and always put the sport and the horse’s welfare first.
2.
Judges should be:
(i) Honest and Open
(ii) Respectful to riders at all times
(iii) Objective, fair and unbiased
(iv) Supportive and encouraging
3.
Judges should always conduct themselves in a professional and appropriate manner when
acting in any official capacity.
4. When at a show or acting in any official capacity Judges should be considerate and respectful
to other Judges, competitors and show officials.
5.
A Judge should not conduct themselves in a manner detrimental to the character of and/or
which may be prejudicial to the interests of British Dressage.
6.
While officiating at, or attending any British Dressage event it is inappropriate to drink alcohol or
be under the influence of any medication or substance which may affect judgment or conduct.
7.
Judges should not solicit organisers for future invitations.
8.
Opinion and comments on any of the combinations judged should be heard only by the writer
and / or any person invited to sitin i.e. someone who is shadow judging, and shared only with the
competitor in question. Care should be taken not to discuss particular tests with anyone else.
9. Judges should not disclose or discuss any details of any combinations judged on social media
sites such as forums, Facebook, twitter, or other websites.
10. Be discreet and loyal to fellow Judges at all times.
11. Judges must observe the Judging restrictions as per the BD Rule Book.
12. Conflicts of interest are not permitted at Regional/Winter/Summer Championships unless an
exemption is granted in an exception circumstance.
148
164
This is calculated by the number of horses that are on the published times for the class.
At all shows when a jury is used, organisers have the option to pay a flat fee to the equivalent of
€120 per day or on a per horse basis to each jury member.
In order to receive a payment a judge must submit a minimum of a simple invoice to the organiser.
An organiser has the right to refuse payment should the judge not submit an invoice. A judge may
continue to judge on a voluntary basis and should declare this when responding to an invitation.
The current mileage rate is 0.45p per mile. This is paid in addition to the above payment. Any other
fees or other charges are by prior agreement with the Organiser and the Judge is responsible for
any tax implications.
Procedural guidelines for judges
1. Reply promptly to judging invitations.
2.
Ensure that you know the appropriate test and rules.
3.
Dress smartly and in accordance with the status of the event. Do not wear advertising clothing
(i.e. jackets, sweatshirts with company logos or branding).
4.
Arrive in plenty of time.
5.
Inspect the arena, checking the going and the positioning of the letters.
6.
Be courteous to your writer. Explain how you will give your marks and comments. Warn your
writer of any tricky parts of the test.
7.
Do not allow competitors or their connections involved in the class to sit in.
8.
Keep to time.
Payment of Judges
The minimum payment a judge will be paid for judging is;
• Intro to Advanced £1 per horse/per judge (including FEI Pony & Junior tests)
• PSG to GP £2 per horse/per judge (inc FEI Young Rider tests)
Section 1
13. Judges should be aware of the BD Safeguarding policy and should not engage with individuals
under the age of 18 years without an appropriate adult present.
9. Check the scoreboard and the results before leaving the show. If you are unsure of the
accuracy of the scorers, have the result checked.
10. If judging as a member of a panel, be prepared to discuss the judging afterwards in private.
11. If you are not able to fulfil a judging commitment it is up to you to discuss with the organiser
to jointly find a suitable replacement i.e. a Judge of the correct list for class to be judged and
one who lives a similar distance to venue.
12. Every eventuality cannot be provided for. In any unforeseen or exceptional circumstance, it is
the duty of the Ground Jury to make a decision in a sporting spirit.

BD is passionately committed to providing opportunities for coaches to develop, increase their
skills and excel wherever or whoever they are coaching. By encouraging the development of
skilled, knowledgeable and up to date coaches we can give riders the best support to enjoy
their dressage and reach their own personal goals.
Choosing a coach is individual to each rider, but we hope the information below will help you
find a coach that is right for you.
ACCREDITED COACHES
BD Accredited Coaches have a UKCC Level 3 dressage qualification and were assessed by BD
assessors. They have shown a good knowledge of modern coaching skills and sound technical
knowledge of dressage up to and including Advanced Medium level. They have an up to date
first aid qualification, have attended a child protection course and have appropriate insurance.
They are required to keep their skills up to date with training every year.
Accredited Coach status may also be granted to a very experienced coach who is a member of
the International Dressage Trainers Club and has trained at least one combination to
international small tour level. They will also have an up to date first aid qualification, have
attended a child protection course and have appropriate insurance.
