About this Event

By kind permission of Mr Harry Johnson and family.

All classes are held in a 20m x 60m arena.

The test may be performed in any sequence but must show the movements shown on the test sheet. There must be a halt at the beginning and end of the test on the centre line facing the judge. When ponies/horses compete as a pair they may separate during the test but the majority of the test should be ridden together as a pair. The test may not contain movements above the standard of The Pony Club Dressage test indicated on the test sheet. If included marks may be deducted.

The test should not be of more than 5 1/2 minutes duration. The time is taken from the exact moment when the pony(ies)/horse(s) move(s) forward from halt at the beginning. The test finishes with a halt and salute anywhere on the centre line. The music may start either before the entry at ‘A’ or after the first halt and shall be provided by competitors on their own CDs containing only the music for this particular competition. It is recommended that a second CD or storage drive is kept by the competitor to act as a backup. Competitors need to be aware that some CDRW discs cannot be read by all CD players so it is advisable to use CDR discs.
