Entry fees from £12.00 to 16.00 per class.
Do you want to compete but do not want to dress up, travel far or deal with a busy warm up arena? The answer is to ride a ‘Dressage Anywhere’ test here at Thurleigh Equestrian Centre.
You can wear your usual riding gear, warm up alone and even have a practice run through the test beforehand. We give you a dressage test time, you warm up in our indoor arena and have 10 min to run through the test in the outdoor arena. We then film your test and upload it onto the Dressage Anywhere site and enter you for the class. Your test is judged by an affiliated dressage list 1 or 2 judge and you receive a completed test sheet with judges comments and score, just as if you are competing in a live class, you will even win prize money or vouchers if you come in 1st to 3rd.
Any rider can enter a Dressage Anywhere competition and does not need to be a member of the relevant body but juniors of 16 years of age and under must have parental permission. For our riding school clients, we can also provide a horse for you to ride the test on if you would like to have a go!
If you are a British Dressage Associate Member and are taking part in Introductory, Prelim, Novice and Elementary classes you also have the opportunity to qualify for the Championship Show if you achieve two scores of 62% or above. If you qualify but you're not yet a British Dressage Associate Member, it's really easy and free to join.
Sign up online at http://www.britishdressage.co.uk/membership/associate_membership and don't forget to forward us your membership number when you enter so we can verify your details.
