about dressage.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2016

Chairmans
Address
Dear Member,
Representing British Dressage as chairman continues to be a privilege as
the sport goes from strength to strength, and I’m delighted to introduce
the new Members’ Handbook for 2016.
We value all our competitors, from those riding purely for pleasure to
those representing their country at international events and, following an
extensive consultation process, we are proud to be launching a new
competition structure, which will provide more exciting opportunities for
all. Feedback throughout has indicated that overall the changes have been
received positively, including the revamp of the young horse classes.
Another addition for 2016, thanks to the phenomenal success of Team
Quest, is the creation of ‘My Quest’, a brand new and exciting initiative for
individual riders.
The introduction of Gift Aid has allowed us to begin to reap the benefits of
being a charity and assist us in regenerating and refreshing the services
that we provide to our members, such as the 2015 makeover of the British
Dressage National Convention.
If you are new to British Dressage, then a huge welcome! We’re always
looking at ways of improving our services to members, so if you have any
feedback or would like to make a suggestion, please let us know. We hope
you enjoy being a part of the growing BD family in 2016!
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.
Matters that cannot be resolved by interpreting the rules to the letter should be resolved by
following the spirit of the text to obtain a solution that is fairest to all members.
Amendments or changes to the rules in this book may be published in the ‘British Dressage
Magazine’ (which is published eight times per year) and on 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.
The 2016 Rules contain some significant changes in relation to the British Dressage
competition structure. If as result of these changes the transition from the 2015 Rules to
the 2016 rules causes any uncertainty with regard to the application of the 2016 Rules to
the eligibility of any particular registered horse, rider or combination;
•
to compete at any level of competition or within a particular Gold, Silver or
Bronze section, or
•
to enter any Area Festival, Regional Championship or other British Dressage
competition; then the affected BD member may apply in writing to British
Dressage who shall determine the matter. Any decision of British Dressage in
this regard shall be final and binding.

Code of
Conduct
The Disciplinary Panel and Judges Complaints Panel of British Dressage are appointed by the
Board to consider complaints of misconduct or breaches of these Rules or Codes of Conduct by
Members and Judges and if necessary to impose appropriate penalties. In this context
misconduct is defined as failure in the observance of provision of the Memorandum or Articles
of British Dressage Code of Conduct, Regulation or byelaw made by the Board or any other
competent authority. Members remain subject to such provisions when participating in any
event affiliated to a foreign national federation or to the FEI. The Chief Executive or Judges
Complaints Panel will hear any complaint pursuant to these Rules.
No member of British Dressage shall:
a) Conduct themselves in a manner which is offensive to the public.
b) Argue 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 themselves in a manner which is or may be in breach of the Memorandum and
Articles of Association or any rule, regulation, bylaw or Code of Conduct of British
Dressage. 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 them self be in breach of any of the provision of any rules.
i)
Conduct themselves 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 and properly eligible pursuant to these Rules.
l)
8

("UKAD") to apply, police and enforce those Rules;
(3) To provide all requested assistance to the BEF and UKAD (as applicable) in the
application, policing and enforcement of those Rules, including (without limitation)
cooperating fully with any investigation, results, management exercise, and/or
proceedings being conducted pursuant to those Rules in relation to any potential Anti
Doping Rule Violation(s);
And except where the FEI has jurisdiction over the potential AntiDoping Violation.
(4) To submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any first instance tribunal convened under
those Rules to hear and determine charges and related issues arising under those Rules;

whether or not the offence or offences occur at a show or elsewhere.

members, volunteers, show organisers, officials and BD Staff. Inappropriate behaviour

Section 1
SECTION 1
1. Agreement to be bound by the rules
All members of British Dressage (BD) are bound by the Memorandum and Articles of BD,
together with the Rules, Code of Conduct, 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.
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
By signing an Affiliation Agreement, Venue Proprietors, Show Organisers and their
representatives are considered members of BD and are bound by all BD Rules, Codes of
Conduct, 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.
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/promotional/commercial/fund raising purposes without payment.
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.
In becoming a member of British Dressage members, have also agreed to be bound by:
•
The FEI Rules when competing in International classes
•
The BEF AntiDoping and Controlled Medication Rules (BEFAR)
•
The BEF AntiDoping Rules for Human Athletes
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.
16
Only members of BD and organisers of affiliated competitions are covered by the
insurances provided by BD (see annex for full details).
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.
BYRDS Club and Quest Club membership only entitles members to compete in Team
Quest, My Quest, associated competitions and in Preliminary Bronze and Gold classes.
Those with a BYRDS or Quest Club membership who qualify for an Area Festival must
upgrade to a full member in order to compete. Horses must hold a minimum of associate
horse registration.
Riders competing in Preliminary Silver sections must be full BD members.
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
six months from the date of registration and is only available to those who have never
been a member of BD previously.
Section 1
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 reserve the right to decline any
application for, or renewal of, membership without stating a cause.
To compete at Introductory level riders must be a minimum of associate members and
their horse must hold an associate horse registration.
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.
4. Age of members
There is no upper or lower age limit.
5. Class tickets
Class tickets enable those without a paid BD membership or horse registration to
compete in an affiliated BD class. To compete on a class ticket, both the rider and
horse must hold associate BD registration which is free of charge and be eligible for
the class concerned. Each ticket enables them to enter one affiliated class.
Holders of class tickets must also pay the entry fees and are subject to the rules
contained in the BD Members Handbook. 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, rosettes and grading
points but are not eligible to qualify for any championships or Area Festivals.
6. Horse/Pony registration
To compete in an affiliated dressage competition, a horse or pony must be registered
with BD. 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.
17
Section 1
For Introductory, Preliminary Bronze and Gold, 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.
Full registration for horses and ponies runs for 12 months from the date of registration
with the exception of Winter registration which runs from 1 October – 31 March and Trial
registration, which runs for six months from the date of registration and is only available
to horses who have never been registered with BD previously. 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 registration of a horse with British Dressage is for competition purposes only
and the registration does not determine the legal status of ownership of, or liability
for, said horse. British Dressage accept no responsibility for the content or accuracy
of the registered details which are intended for its own sole administrative use.
BD may suspend registration of the horse or pony until such time as a dispute over
ownership is settled.
Mares may not compete after their fourth month of pregnancy or with a foal at foot.
7. Verification of names and breeding of horses and ponies
A copy of the pages of a horse’s passport containing particulars set out below must
be provided to BD within 28 days of applying for a horse registration. If this
requirement is not complied with the horse may not compete until the information
is received.

•
Unique Equine Life Number (UELN) if applicable
•
PIO registration number (if different from the UELN)
•
Date of birth
•
Pedigree/breeding, or a statement that it is not known; and
•
The breeder's name, or a statement that it is not known.
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:
18
•
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.
•
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 four years old. Horses competing at
PSG level and above must be at least seven years old. Horses competing at Grand Prix
must be at least eight 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.
Ponies are not required to obtain FEI Height Certificates for their FEI Passports.
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.
Section 1
•
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.
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..

SECTION 2
Grading of Riders and Horses
11. Grouping of riders
Riders are placed in the following groups in relation to the highest level that they have
competed at. With the exception of group 1 and 2, a member’s rider group does not
affect eligibility to compete. (also see rules relating to down grouping):
For the purpose of calculating rider groups, only results recorded in the current and
ten preceding years will be taken into account.
Group 1
Riders who have competed at a CDI (Small, Medium or Big tour)
Group 2
Riders who have gained points at Inter II, Inter A or B, U25GP or Grand
Prix in national BD competitions and riders who have competed in the
National or Winter championships (excluding music) at PSG level or
above in Gold sections (or previous open sections)
Group 3
Riders who have gained points at PSG or Inter I level in National BD
competitions (including FEI YR classes nationally or in a CDIYR) except
as described above for group 2
Group 4
Riders who have gained points at Advanced Medium level (including
FEI Junior classes nationally or in a CDIJ)
Group 5
Riders who have gained points at Medium level (including FEI Pony
classes nationally or in a CDIP)
Group 6
Riders who have gained points at Elementary level
Group 7
Riders who have gained points at Novice level
Group 8
Riders who have gained points at Preliminary level or have not gained
any points
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 CDI (Small, Medium or Big Tour).
12. Riders registered with British Eventing or holding a BHS qualification
Any rider who has competed at BE advanced (3* or 4*) horse trials in the current or
preceding ten years may not be below a Group 4 rider.
A rider who has competed at BE intermediate (or 2*) horse trials in the current or
preceding ten years may not be below Group 5.
Those with a BHSI or FBHS qualification will be no lower than Group 4 upon registration.
13. Down grouping of riders
Members who have not competed at or above their specific level for four years or more
may apply to the BD office in writing to down group by one level. This will not be done
automatically.
14. 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 4 upon registration and will be given rider points accordingly unless evidence of a
competition record can be provided, in which case BD will adjust the rider group accordingly.
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 Ireland are considered to be foreign.
20
Foreign riders competing at all other levels except Grand Prix at the National
Championships may be awarded first place sashes, rosettes and prize money.
Horses competing in British Dressage competitions from Preliminary to Grand Prix will be
awarded points based on the below scale. Points will not be awarded for Introductory
classes. Points are awarded in accordance with the percentage achieved in the competition.

Section 2
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.
Points are not awarded for Introductory, ParaEquestrian, Music classes, Young Horse
classes or Team Quest Competitions.
For My Quest classes “Quest points” will be allocated to the same scale as all other
classes. Quest points are for qualification/ranking purposes within Quest competitions
only and do not count towards the upgrading of a horse.
Points are allocated to each registered horse by reference to each level of competition
from Preliminary to Grand Prix, and not as an overall total. The number of grading
points accumulated at each competition level will determine the horse's eligibility for
future competitions, in accordance with Section 3 and other relevant Rules. The
competition records of all registered horses are maintained on a central database and
published on the BD website.
Horses competing in CDI competitions from PSG to Grand Prix and CDI YJP, will be
awarded points based on the below scale. Points are awarded against the percentage
achieved in the competition.
60.00 – 61.99%

Section 2
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 awarded to the horse in
accordance with its level of ability.
For the purpose of registration, horses foaled in Ireland 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.
Newley imported horses without competition records will be automatically allocated 15
points at each level according to their age at the time of registration to the scale given in
the table below, unless proof of import at an earlier age can be supplied. 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.
Age at Import
4 year old
5 year old
6 year old
7 year old
8 year old
9 year old
Points
0 points
15 novice points
15 elementary points
15 medium points
15 advanced medium points
15 PSG points
Horses imported prior to 1 December 2015 which have a BD competition record will
have their points record adjusted so that they have at least the minimum points per
level in the table above, according to age at importation. Horses that have been
assessed maintain the points allocated at assessment.
17. Assessment of imported horses and reallocation of points
If the owner is unable to provide a competition record or evidence of importation, they
may choose to have the horse’s level of training assessed, this must be done between the
time the horse is first registered and the first competition entry.
Owners must contact the BD Office to make an appointment for the horse to be
assessed. The cost of assessment is £75. Assessors are not to assess horses that are
known to them, e.g. horses the assessor has previously seen in training or a
purchasing/selling context.
18. Grading of horses competing in national competitions 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.
22
Section 3
SECTION 3
Eligibility to Compete
19. Levels and classes of competition
At each British Dressage Competition there will be a range of classes which require
different standards of ability of horse and rider. There is a progressive series of tests
which are tailored to the horse’s level of training. It starts with Introductory which is of
walk trot level and culminates with Grand Prix, which has the highest degree of difficulty.
The full list of current tests in use can be found in annex 2 of this book.
At each level there are a number of tests offered each with a varying degree of difficulty.
The lower numbered tests of each level are designed to be slightly easier, with the higher
numbered test being more difficult.
Some tests are specifically designated as qualifying tests. These are marked with a Q in
the class title on the competition schedule. When qualifying for different series and
Championships, horses and riders need to earn a minimum number of points in the
qualifying tests. More specific detail and qualifications for each championship can be
found later in section 5.
20. Sections within each level of competition
Each level of competition e.g. Preliminary or Novice is divided in to three sections Gold,
Silver and Bronze. The section into which a member may enter is determined by the
horses and rider’s experience and points won at each level of competition.
Each level will run as one class with all riders being judged by the same judge. At the end
of the class, for results and qualification purposes, the class will be divided in to the
different sections.
•
Bronze sections are for less experienced horses and riders who have just started
competing at a given level so that they can compete against those with a similar
ability.
•
Silver sections are designed for those combinations that have achieved more ability
at a level and have demonstrated that they are no longer a beginner at that level.
•
Gold sections are for riders who have gained experience at higher levels and are
riding a horse with less experience, or for combinations who have demonstrated
that they are competent at a level. There is no obligation for a combination to move
out of the Gold section at any given level should they not wish to compete at the
levels above.
It is the rider’s responsibility to state the section they are entering for every class; if not
stated, they will automatically be put in the Gold section. Riders may not change section
once a class has started.

been selected for and below. Ponies must ride in the Gold section of Medium and below,
Juniors must ride in the Gold section of Advanced Medium and below Young Riders must

As soon as the Union Flag is awarded, any qualifications already gained in Silver sections
will be transferred to Gold sections.
33. BE riders on Youth Championship teams
Combinations selected to compete for Great Britain in Eventing on a championship team
for Ponies and Juniors must ride in the Gold section of Elementary and below, Young
Riders must ride in the Gold section of Medium and below. As soon as the Union Flag is
awarded, any qualifications already gained in Silver sections will be transferred to Gold

34. Eligibility for riders under the age of 14
All riders under the age of 14 (i.e. end of the year of their 13th birthday) will be allowed to
remain in the Bronze section even if all points limits for this section have been exceeded,
however if the combination has achieved the relevant percentage five times or more
they will need to ride in the Silver section.
Riders under the age of 14 will not have to move to Gold section unless as a combination
they were placed in the top 10 in either the Silver or the Gold section at Winter/National
Championships or the combination has been selected to represent Great Britain on a
championship team.
All riders under the age of 14 will qualify for Regionals and Area Festivals in exactly the
same way as all other riders.
As soon as a rider reaches the end of their 13th year they will return to the appropriate
section and level as per the regular BD rules.
An under 14 rider is bound by the same rules for all Championships.
35. Eligibility for riders riding new horses or schoolmasters
A rider eligible for a Bronze section may compete a new horse in that Bronze section
even if the horse has exceeded the 50 points limit for that level, as long as the horse has
not gained more than 15 points at the higher levels. Once the combination has achieved
the relevant regional qualification percentage five times they must move to the silver
section at that level.
A rider eligible for a Silver section can compete a new horse in the silver section even if
the horse has exceeded all Silver points limits, including points gained at levels above
(excluding group 1 and 2 riders). Once the combination has achieved the relevant
regional percentage five times they will then move to the next section at that level.
Horses with CDI points in the current or proceeding year will be eligible for the Silver
section at Medium level or above only.

conduct the ballot in a fair and transparent manner. Regional Championship and Area
Festival classes may not be balloted.
In all cases, where there is oversubscription, a waiting list must be held and
competitive entries must be accepted over HC entries.
At Premier Leagues, Regionals and Area Festivals, allowing for multiple riders, the

riding HC will not gain any points. Riders may not compete HC at any Championship.
42. 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. With the
exception of FEI tests they may only cover one level (i.e. Meduim) with the schedule
stipulating the tests to be ridden. A PYO may only have a maximum of five tests to be
ridden. A PYO FEI class may also include FEI Para tests. Classes are judged on a
percentage basis.
Any Member can compete a horse ‘HC’ without any restriction on eligibility for either
horse/rider except for PSG and above.
Section 4
41. Hors Concours (HC)
PYO classes only count as nonqualifying classes in relation to qualifying points. Scores
from PYO classes may be used to qualify for Area Festivals.
43. 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.
44. 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. 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.
45. Prize money
Prize money is mandatory, except for Freestyle to Music and Para Equestrian classes.
The number of prizes given and the amount of prize money, or type of prize if in kind,

SECTION 5
Regionals and Championship Qualification
BD Championships
BD hold 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.
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 Preliminary to Inter I and qualify for a National Area Festival
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, My
Quest, Veteran Horse and Rider, and Retraining of Racehorses.
The next sections detail all you need to know about how to qualify for each competition series.

Direct qualification for the National Championships may be achieved by horses that have
competed in the Gold section at Premier Leagues, CDIs abroad and UK based CDIs, at
PSG level and above and by Pony Junior and Young Riders who compete at the European
Championships:
A Young Rider achieving 70% or more in the individual test at that year’s
European Championships will earn direct qualification for the PSG at the
National Championships.
•
A Junior Rider achieving 70% or more in the individual test at that year’s
European Championships will earn direct qualification for the Advanced Medium
Gold at the National Championships.
•
A Pony Rider achieving 70% or more in the Individual test at that year’s
European Championships will earn direct qualification for the Medium Gold at

PSG & Intermediate I
In Gold sections at Premier Leagues and in UKbased CDIs, two combinations from the
show will qualify directly with 65% or above. If there is only one Gold section the top two
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 four qualified from that show.
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.
Combinations which have competed in PSG and Intermediate I in CDIs abroad (including
CDIYR Team and Individual tests) 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.
•
Section 5
54. Direct Qualification for the National Championships
Intermediate I Freestyle Championship
The top combinations in the Intermediate I Championships will go through to the
Intermediate I Freestyle. The number to qualify will be stated in the schedule. Marks
from the Intermediate I will not be carried forward. Riders who enter the Intermediate I
class at the National Championships automatically declare their intention to compete in
the Intermediate 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 Gold Sections at
Premier Leagues & UK Based CDI’s. Two combinations from the show will qualify directly
with 65% or above. If there is only one Gold section the top two combinations will
qualify. If there are two Gold sections then the two winners will qualify. If both Gold
sections are oversubscribed, one may split with the winners of both sections qualifying,
making a total of three qualified 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.
41
Section 5
Horses which gain 5 or more grading points in an Intermediate II Gold section at a High
Profile show in the 12 months prior to the National Championships with 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 Grand Prix CDI/ CDIO level abroad. Combinations which have competed
at GP level at a CDI/CDIO abroad are eligible to compete in the Grand Prix
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 Gold Grand Prix
class (excluding Grand Prix Special or Freestyle) scoring 65% or above.
•
Qualification to the four horses who have achieved the highest scores above 65% in
UK based or overseas CDI Grand Prix classes (including U25GP) (excluding Grand
Prix Special or Freestyle).
•
Qualification to the four horses who achieve the highest average score above 65%
from three Premier League or High Profile Show Grand Prix classes (two scores may
come from U25GP), excluding Grand Prix Special or Freestyle. At least one score
must come from a Premier League.
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 three Premier League/ High Profile Show Grand Prix classes.
The top combinations will go through to the Grand Prix freestyle. The number to qualify
will be stated in the schedule. 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.
The marks from both sections will be added and the average percentage calculated to
determine the National Champion.
55. 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 e.g. Preliminary Silver will require 10 points all from qualifiers and Novice Silver will
require 10 points, five 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.
42
Combinations qualify from Regionals to the National or Winter Championships on a
proportional basis, depending on the total number qualified at each level and the
number of starters at each Regional Championship. A table showing the ratio of
qualifiers to starters and any variation on the proportional qualification basis for a
specific class is to be displayed at each Regional Championship.
a) 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.
b) Immediately after the final Winter or Summer Regional Championships those
qualified at Preliminary to 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.
c)
For Prix St Georges and Intermediate I, wild cards are to be offered to nonqualified
combinations from both Premier Leagues and Regional Championships, with the
aim of having approximately 70% of the places available at the National
Championships filled from combinations competing at Premier Leagues/CDIs.
d) The Board may offer places for any BD Championship or Regional Championship.
This discretion is mainly for higher level classes at the National Championships and
for horses that the selectors would like to see in top class competition.

At PSG/Int1 level, if Regional qualification is not obtained in the Gold section and the
combination is still eligible to compete in the Silver section, they may compete in the Area
Festival using the scores achieved in the Gold section.
Section 6
At Preliminary level, if a combination which is eligible for the Preliminary Bronze
section has attempted to achieve Regional Championship qualification in the silver
section but does not achieve the qualification, the combination may enter in
Preliminary Bronze Area Festivals using scores from the Preliminary Silver section. If
however a regional qualification is gained in the Silver section they may not compete
in a Preliminary Bronze Area Festival.
c) Competitors may choose at which Area Festival they compete and may compete in
different Area Festivals if they have qualified for more than one level.
d) Qualification is restricted to individual horse/rider combinations.
e) Once qualified, combinations may compete even if they subsequently upgrade.
f)
Horse and rider combinations may only ride in Area Festivals at two consecutive levels
in the qualification cycle: e.g. Preliminary/Novice or Medium/Advanced Medium.
g) U21 riders who have competed on a Championship team may not compete in
Area Festivals on their team horse/pony, unless it is at a higher level than which
they competed at the Championships e.g. Ponies Advanced Medium and above,
Juniors PSG and above, Young Riders Inter I only.
h) Once a combination has competed at the National or Winter Championships
(including Music Championships at Advanced Medium or below), they cannot
compete at that level or below in Area Festivals in future years. This restriction does
not apply to those competing in the PSG Championship or Inter I music class.
i)
Combinations competing at Regional Championships (excluding PSG Freestyle)
are ineligible for Area Festivals at that level or below in the same calendar year,
i.e. If a combination qualifies for the Winter/Summer Regionals and decides to
compete at the Regional Championships they will need to compete at a higher
level in the Area Festival in the autumn of the same year.
j)
Combinations achieving 66% or above in the final round of the Preliminary
Bronze Area Festival Championships may not compete at Preliminary Bronze
Area Festivals in future years.
k) Combinations achieving the relevant regional percentage in the final round of

m) Riders qualifying one horse for both the Bronze and Silver sections at the same level
may choose which section they wish to compete in at the Area Festival, but may not
compete in both sections.
Area Festivals
n) If a combination qualifies at a higher level in a higher section, any qualifications
at lower levels will be transferred in to the higher section e.g. qualification in
Elementary Silver and Novice Bronze will require the combination to ride Novice
in the Silver section. However, if a rider is qualified in two consecutive Bronze or
Silver sections they may ride in both e.g. Novice Silver and Elementary Silver.
61. Qualifying for the Area Festival Championships
a) Combinations qualify from Area Festivals to the Area Festival Championships on
a proportional basis, depending on the total number qualified at each level and
the number of starters at each Area Festival Championship. A table showing the
ratio of qualifiers to starters and any variation on the proportional qualification
basis for a specific class will be displayed at each Area Festival.
b) Members will be notified that they have qualified for the Area Festival
Championships prior to the Winter Regional Championships taking place.
c)
If a rider qualifies for the Area Festival Championships before the National
Championships, they lose their eligibility to compete in the Area Festival
Championships at that level or below once they compete at the National
Championships. Riders who have competed in any Para Equestrian Championship,
or the Area Festival Championships which runs alongside the Winter Championships,
are exempt from this restriction. A combination which qualifies for the Area Festival
championship in the autumn, then go on to qualify at the same level for the Winter
Championships the following spring, may ride in both championships.
d) Wild Cards will be issued to the next highest qualified percentages across all Area
Festivals after close of entries for the Area Festival Championships, for any class
which has not been filled. Entries received after the closing date from prequalified
combinations will not be accepted once wild cards have been issued.

64. Eligibility for Music Qualifiers and Regional Championships
If qualification is earned as per above, the combination is then entitled to enter the
equivalent Music class at a Winter Regional Championship.
Once any combination has been placed in the top 10 of the Novice, Elementary and
Medium Silver Music Winter Championships they must ride in the Gold music section
in future years at these levels. Eligibility to ride in Silver sections in nonmusic classes
is not affected.
Combinations that compete in music classes will be limited to three consecutive
levels in any music qualifying period and provided that they remain eligible they may
compete at the Regional Championships in any two levels e.g. a combination could
compete in Novice, Elementary and Medium music qualifiers however at the

91. Regional Rankings and Regional Finals
Section 11
90. Qualifying Period
Teams lower than 10th place will not receive any points.
The regional rankings are based on points and will only take into account the five best
placings for each team. In the event of a tie of points where both teams have competed
five times or more, regardless of the amount of competitions they have competed at, a
tie will be split by calculating the total team percentages achieved at each of the team’s
top five placings.
If there is still a tie, the sixth best placing and score for each team will determine which
team takes the lead. If a tie still remains, the seventh, eighth, etc best placing and score
will determine the team placing until the tie is broken.
In case of equality of points before five results have been achieved, 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 that
has 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.
At the end of the qualifying period a Regional Final will be held in each of the eight
regions. The top fifteen 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.

Each time a combination earns points they will be added to their overall total for that
level. At the end of the qualifying period the twenty highest ranked combinations from
each section/level in each region will be invited to compete at a Regional Final.
The regional rankings will only take into account the five best scores per horse and rider
combination at a given level. In the event of a tie of points where both riders have
competed five times or more, regardless of the amount of competitions they have
competed at, a tie will be split by calculating the total percentages of the rider’s top five
scores.
If there is still a tie, the sixth best score for each combination will determine which rider
takes the lead. If a tie still remains, the seventh, eighth, etc. best score will determine the
placing until the tie is broken.
If a rider is unable to attend the final, the place will be allocated to the next rider from the
same region.
If combinations qualify at multiple levels, they may only compete in two consecutive
levels at regional finals and must ride in the two highest levels qualified for; e.g. a
combination that qualifies at Introductory, Preliminary and Novice would have to
compete in the regional final at Preliminary and Novice.

SECTION 15
Riding the Test and Penalties
138. 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 fifteen
metres for International competitions and at least ten metres for other events if more
room is not available. Adjacent arenas should be a minimum of five 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
94
The length of the diagonal from corner to corner is 63.25m
Section 15
Plan of 20 x 60 arena
95
Section 15
139. 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.
140.Inspection of arenas
The judge is responsible for checking that the arena is satisfactory and having it modified
as necessary.
141. 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.
142. 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.
143. 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.
144. 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. If not worn, this constitutes contravening the
rules and two penalties should be deducted.
96
Riders are to behave with consideration to their fellow competitors whilst working in and
follow the below guidelines:
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.
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)
b) Make tack adjustments outside the arena if possible, or near the middle of the arena,
but without obstructing the diagonal or centre lines.
Section 15
145. Riding in collecting ring or practice areas/arenas
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.
146.Warming up
In all competitions, the horse may be warmed up (including being competed in an earlier
class) by another person. Except for Grade I and II Para dressage riders, at Summer,
Winter, Music Regionals, Area Festival and Championships, only the competitor may
warm up the horse. Another rider may exercise the horse on a long rein at walk under
supervision of the steward or marshal (who is to be notified).
147. Commanders
a) Commanders may be used in all classes except Area Festivals, Premier Leagues,
Regional and National Championships, 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.
97
Section 15
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.
g) A commander may be used for blind riders in addition to callers.
e) Commanders may be introduced partway through the test at the judge’s discretion
f)
Commanders may not stand inside the arena.
148.Outside assistance
The Judge is to eliminate a rider who is given any outside assistance designed to help
them improve their performance during a test. This rules applies once the judges bell has
rung to signal the start of the test.
149.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.
150. Entering arena before the signal to start
On penalty of elimination, normally no horse may enter any arena, other than the
practice arena, except when actually competing. 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 two mark penalty per Judge awarded. Failure to enter after 90 seconds of the signal to
start will result in elimination.
151. 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.
However, if 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.
98
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.
Section 15
152. Salute
153. Sitting and rising
154. 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 will eliminate any horse that leaves the arena during a test,
when the surround is continuous and nine inches high or more. Where the surround is
less than nine inches, 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.
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.
155. 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.
156. Resistance
a) Any horse failing to enter the arena within 45 seconds of the bell being sounded will
have a two 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.
157. 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.
158.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.
99
Section 15
159.Freestyle to music and Technical failures
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.
In the case of a technical failure interferes 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.
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.
160.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.
161.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 e.g. 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.
100
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).
Record the penalty for error of course.
162. 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 two points
•
the second time by four points
•
the third time the competitor is eliminated, although he may continue his
performance to the end, marks being awarded in the ordinary way.
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.
c)
Section 15
If the Judge does not realise until the competitor has left the arena that one or more
movements have been omitted he must:
163.Errors of the test
If a competitor makes an error of the test (eg, trots rising instead of sitting, or carries
a whip) he is to be penalised according to the table in Rule 171 and although these
penalties will be cumulative they will not relate to penalties in Rule 162 and will not
result in elimination. Judges should note them at the bottom of the judges sheet.
164.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.
165. Scoring method
Each Judge will award marks from zero to ten 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 two
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 two 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.
101
Section 15
166.Scale of marks
The scale of marks is as follows:
10 Excellent
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 should be awarded where the performance warrants their use. (“Not
executed” means that nothing required has been performed).
167. 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.
168. Judges’ decision final
In all cases the judges’ decision is final.
a) In all cases the Judges’ decision is final subject only to Rule 170.
b) Any complaint against a Judge must be made in writing and in accordance with the
Complaints Procedure.
c) The BD Board may direct the retest of any Judge, or remove him/her from the
Official Panel, giving reasons for their decision.
d) Any Judge under investigation may be suspended until the matter has been
investigated.
169.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)”
102
170. Objections
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 Disciplinary Panel.
The deposit is forfeited unless the objection is upheld or it is decided that there
were good and reasonable grounds for lodging an objection.
(b) In the event that the objection relates only to the adding up of the scores or
other arithmetical error the competitor must notify the organiser within 24
hours of the result being announced, if a change needs to be made or a possible
qualification registered.
(a) 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
completion, accompanied by a deposit of £25, not later than 1 hour after the
final results are put onto the scoreboard.
Section 15
b) If the same member receives a second caution within any period of 24
months, the Chief Executive will call for a further report of the incident
which gave rise to the second caution and may refer this to the Disciplinary
Panel or the Judges Complaints Panel at his discretion.
171. Penalties for contravening rules
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.
The table below details the penalties for contravening rules;

172. Appointment and deselection
Judges of affiliated classes must be on the Official Judges’ Panel and be a current member
of BD. They are appointed by the organisers of competitions or by BD. Judges must be 18
years or over upon application. Where appropriate, judges subject to investigation may be
suspended until their hearing. A judge may be deselected from the Official Judges Panel by
BD if he or she:
a) is in serious or repeated breach of the BD Judges’ Code of Conduct;
b) brings BD or its name or reputation into any form of disrepute;
c)
is determined by the Judge Complaints Panel or the Chief Executive (using his/her
summary powers) to be in breach of any BD Rule;
d) commits any act of dishonesty or criminal offence;
e) Where the Judges Complaints Panel assesses that a judges standard of judging is
insufficient in some respect, they or the Judges Committee have the authority to
require the judge to undertake specific training or retesting. Failure to comply
satisfactorily with these requirements may result in the judge being downgraded
or removed from the list.
173.Foreign Judges / FEI Judges not listed in Great Britain
a) FEI 3*, 4* or 5* Judges may officiate at affiliated BD competition providing they meet
the national minimum judging requirements as set in the current FEI Education
system, i.e.
•
Dressage – a certified national Grand Prix Judge
•
Para Dressage – a certified national PSG judge
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.
174. 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 and B. The President sits at C, and two 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 and 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 two 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 two metres away from the side of the
arena to ensure a full view.
106
Judges are ambassadors and role models guided by principles of fairness impartiality
and integrity.
A conflict of interest will be deemed to exist when a judge has, or reasonably appears
to have, a personal or financial interest, which could affect their ability to be
impartial.
Judges
It is the responsibility of a judge to be scrupulously careful to guard against any
appearance or actuality of interest whether financial or otherwise. It is always wiser
to acknowledge a possible source of a conflict and stand aside rather than permit
suspicions to gain strength.
Section 16
175. Judging Conflicts of Interest
The following restrictions apply to judges for affiliated dressage competitions
although they will not be exclusive.
a) The Judge may not be the owner of or have a financial interest in any horse in the
class.
b) The Judge may not be in a relationship with or a close relative of a rider or owner.
c)
No Judge may judge a horse at Advanced level, which has been in their
ownership within 2 years of the date of the competition concerned.
d) No Judge may judge a horse at levels up to and including Advanced Medium,
which has been in their ownership within one year of the date of the competition
concerned.
e) The Judge must try to avoid judging any combination with whose training he/she
has been regularly involved, unless exceptional circumstances demand it, (e.g. at
very short notice). In this instance, the Judge must record the possible conflict of
interest with the organiser, which must then be displayed on the scoreboard.
Regular training is defined as having trained a horse or rider more than three
times in the preceding 12 months and not within four weeks of a competition.
f)
No Judge may judge a freestyle if they have participated in the making of a
musical CD or creation of the floor plan used by a competitor in the class.
g) Judges, writers, or others within earshot of the Judge are not to write a
commentary of the class for publication.
j)
A rider and or horse should not be judged by anyone with whom they have a
contractual sponsorship agreement.
If a judge arrives at a show to find they have a conflict, or perceived conflict, with a
combination which they will be judging as under e) above, they should complete an
official Conflict of Interest Form (organisers have the forms) which must be attached
to the score board.
If any member has a complaint against a judge involving conflict of interest, they
should submit a complaint as in Annex 1 of the Rule Book, page 119.

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.
b) Health status
No horse showing symptoms of disease, lameness or other significant ailments or pre
existing 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.
110
c)
Annex 1
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.
3.
e)
Pregnant/recently foaled mares
Mares must not compete after their fourth month of pregnancy or with foal at foot.
f)
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.
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)
112
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.
e)
Retirement
Every effort should be made to ensure that horses are treated sympathetically and
humanely when they retire from competition.
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.
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.
Annex 1
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.
It will be for the Technical Committees e.g. Judges, Training etc to make policy
recommendations on welfare issues relating to their areas of responsibility and to
implement this policy and to implement these policies which 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 abuse and are anxious to cooperate. The person on the ground must keep this
in mind when assessing the situation and act accordingly.
If during a competition abuse to a horse is witnessed by an Organiser, Judge or 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.
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 Panel 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:
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.
113
Annex 1
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 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.

Annex 3
ANNEX 3
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 Rules.
1.
Judges should act with integrity and always put the sport and the horse’s welfare first.
2.
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Judges should be:
Honest and Open
Respectful to riders at all times
Objective, fair and unbiased
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 Conflict of Interest rule as detailed on page 107.
12. Conflicts of interest are not permitted at Regional/Winter/Summer Championships
unless an exemption is granted in an exception circumstance.
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.
118
Member Conduct and Complaints against Members and Judges
1.
1.1 Any person wishing to make a complaint of misconduct or relating to a breach of
these Rules by a Member or Judge must do so in writing to the Chief Executive. If
after preliminary investigation the Chief Executive considers that a prima facie case
of misconduct exists which cannot be dealt with summarily, he may in his absolute
discretion refer the complaint to either the Judges Complaints Panel or Disciplinary
Panel or alternatively to Sports Resolutions UK.
1.2 The Chief Executive or the Board may, at their sole discretion, refer any matter
which comes to their attention to either the Disciplinary Panel, the Judges
Complaints Panel or to Sports Resolutions UK.
1.3 In these Rules references to the Panel shall relate either to the Disciplinary Panel or
the Judges Complaints Panel.
2. 2.1 As soon as possible after an incident anyone wishing to complain should send a
written complaint to the Chief Executive 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 Chief Executive at either:
Email: [email protected] or
Post: Chief Executive, British Dressage, Meriden Business Park, Copse Drive,
Meriden, West Midlands, 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.
2.2 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 if
possible approach the Steward, Organiser or Senior Judges on site who should
inform the individual concerned of the complaint. If the incident concerns a horse
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.
3. The Chief Executive 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.
Complaints of misconduct
Annex 4
ANNEX 4
4. If the Chief Executive considers that the complaint should be investigated, the Member
or Judge (Respondent) who is the subject of the complaint will be asked to respond to
the complaint. Such response should be received by the Chief Executive within 14 days
of the request for a response being made. In the absence of a response the Chief
Executive will be entitled to consider the complaint in any event. The Chief Executive
may also make any further enquiries he or she considers to be appropriate.
5.
If having made further enquiries the Chief Executive considers that the complaint should
be pursued further the complainant will be informed and a copy of the complaint may be
provided to the Member or Judge who is the subject of the complaint.
119

will be dealt with under this rule and will give the Member or Judge the opportunity to
either:
(a) Within 21 days request that the complaint should be referred to the Disciplinary
Panel or the Judges Complaints Panel, in which event the Chief Executive must refer
the matter either to the Disciplinary Panel of the Judges Complaints Panel at his sole
discretion. For avoidance of doubt the Member or Judge is not entitled to request
that the matter be referred to Sports Resolutions UK.
(b) Agree that the complaint should be dealt with under this Rule, in which event the
Member or Judge should respond to the complaint in writing to the Chief Executive
within 21 days. The response should set out in detail any matters which the Member or
Judge wishes to be taken into account and supply a copy of any relevant documents.
(c) In the event that no response is received the Chief Executive or the Chairman of the
Judges Committee may proceed to consider the complaint under this Rule.
(d) If the complaint is to be dealt with under this Rule the Chief Executive or the
Chairman of the Judges Committee will consider the complaint and the response
and will notify the Member or Judge concerned of the decision with 21 days or as
soon as reasonably practical.
9. If the Member or Judge disagrees with the decision of the Chief Executive either as to the
complaint or the penalty imposed he/she must within 14 days of the decision request the
Chief Executive to refer the complaint either to the Disciplinary Panel or the Judges
Complaints Panel (the choice of panel shall be at the Chief Executive’s sole discretion).
The Disciplinary Panel or the Judges Complaints Panel may for the avoidance of doubt,
impose any one or more of the penalties set out in Annex 4 of these Rules.
10. The Chief Executive or Chairman of the Judges Committee is empowered to impose any
one or more of the following penalties:
(a) That such Member or Judge be warned that the conduct complained of was
unacceptable, and for the Chief Executive or Chairman of the Judges Committee
may give advice as to appropriate further conduct by the Member or Judge.
(b) That such Member or Judge be reprimanded and cautioned as to his/her future conduct.

the Chief Executive or Chairman of the Judges Committee.
120
(f) That such a Member or Judge pay a fine of such sum as the Chief Executive or
Chairman of the Judges Committee shall in his/her absolute discretion giving direct

(i) Suspended from judging for a period not exceeding 3 months and/or
(ii) Be deselected or reduced in status and/or

concerned from any competition. If the horse or pony is not so disqualified, any points
won in these circumstances will remain on its grading record. A horse or pony competing
in a class for which it is not eligible will be disqualified from that competition and all
points won and/or qualifications awarded will be forfeit. If a competitor, horse or pony
qualifies for a further competition as a result of a competition for which he, she or it was

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.
12. In the event that the Chief Executive or Chairman of the Judges Committee considers in
his/her discretion that any complaint received results in a minor infringement of the
Rules and considers that it would be inappropriate to either refer the matter to the
Disciplinary Panel, the Judges Complaints Panel or Sports Resolutions UK or to deal with
the complaint under this Rule the Chief Executive may issue a Caution/Formal Warning to
the Member as to their future conduct. Any such Caution/Formal Warning shall be placed
upon the Member’s record. In the event that the Member or Judge disagrees with the
caution or Formal Warning he may elect to refer the matter to either the Disciplinary
Panel or the Judges Complaints Panel (the choice of panel shall be at the Chief
Executive’s sole discretion) within 14 days of receiving notice of the Caution or Formal
Warning.
(e) That any suspension be suspended for a period of up to two years. If during the
period of the suspended suspension a Member or Judge is found to be in breach of
the Memorandum or Articles of British Dressage or of any lawful Rule, Regulation or
byelaw made by the Board or any other competent authority the Member or Judge
will be suspended for the period of the original suspension for such other shorter
period as the Chief Executive or Chairman of the Judges Committee may deem to be
appropriate.

automatically be suspended from all rights and privileges of membership of British
Dressage for the same period of time as the FEI suspension.

should not therefore be viewed as a sign of guilt. The disciplinary hearing shall take place
as soon as reasonably practicable, following notification of the suspension having been
given to the member concerned.
Annex 4
17. A Member may be suspended from all rights and privileges of membership if charged

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.
132
Suppleness
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 7
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.
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.
133
Annex 7
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.
134
Leave the arena
Work on a long rein
Annex 7
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.
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.
135
5.
Annex 7
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.
136
The quality of the paces before and after the halt is an integral part of the assessment.
The Walk
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 7
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.
3.3. 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.
137
Annex 7
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.
138
5.
All trot work is executed “sitting”, unless otherwise indicated in the test.
Annex 7
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
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.
139
Annex 7
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
140
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.
3.
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 7
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.
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.
141
The Figures Transitions
Annex 7
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.
142
Annex 7
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.
143
Annex 7
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.
144
Annex 7
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.
145
Annex 7
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.
146
Passage
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.
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.
Annex 7
1.
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.
147
Annex 7
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.
148
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 7
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.

ANNEX 8
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 adults at risk) 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 adults at risk 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 adults at risk 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 adults at risk.
•
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:

151
Nominated Welfare Officer
Annex 8
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 Inter
Regional 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:
152
•
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.
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:
Annex 8
•
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.
153
Use of photographic/filming equipment at competitions/events
Annex 8
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)
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:
154
•
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
•
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.
Writers at Affiliated Competitions
Whilst we do not want to reduce opportunities for young people or create problems for
judges/organisers; it is essential that British Dressage carries out it’s duty of care to all young
people under the age of 18 yrs to keep them safe, therefore please see below the
recommendations for organisers / judges where writers are under the age of 18 yrs.
•
It is recommended that all writers at affiliated shows are 16 yrs and over.
•
The judge is entitled to ask the age of their writer in advance of the competition and
request an adult writer.
•
It is recommended that when writers are under the age of 18 they are allocated to
judges boxes / cars that are in a public space and in clear view at all times.
•
Where this is not possible both the judge and writer should be asked separately if
they are happy with the arrangement. Where the young person is 16 yrs or under
then consent should be sought from the parent/guardian.
•
Where there are long breaks between tests or classes it is recommended that judges
do not remain in the judges box or their car with writers under the age of 18 yrs.
•
If the judge wishes to bring with them / or chooses to invite a young person under
the age of 16 yrs to write for them then written consent from the parents/ guardian
and assent from the young person should be lodged with the organiser. If the judge
is a first degree family member such as a parent or brother/sister, then no action is
required. Where the relationship is at a second degree family member level such as
aunt, uncle, grandparent or cousin then verbal consent to the organiser is sufficient.
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;

Music Licence
Music Licence
Dressage to Music – Public Performance Licence (PPL)
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 Membership Office 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 PPL 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.

Accredited & Recognised Coaches
ACCREDITEDED COACHES

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

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.
