​

CLASSES: Our standard dressage events offer eight classes to suit all levels of riders:

​

• GREEN and GREEN Lead Rein (walk only, on or off Lead Rein – will be combined if low entries)

• YELLOW and YELLOW Lead Rein plus *NEW* YELLOW Assisted (walk/simple trot, on or off Lead Rein or with assistance – will be combined if low entries)

• YELLOW-PLUS (extended walk/trot)

• BLUE (walk/trot/simple canter)

• RED (walk/trot/canter)

​

Please see our Rider Levels page for more information on the colour-coded levels.

​

In Spring and Autumn we also run a Prix Caprilli (a dressage test with jumps in!) and these follow a slightly different format with just three classes. To avoid confusion with our standard Dressage classes, these have been given a colour scheme of their own, but our coded coded levels still apply:

• LIME - Walk and Trot Lead Rein (walk and trot, on the Lead Rein - this class is suitable for those normally competing at Green and Yellow level)

• TEAL - Walk and Trot off the lead (walk and trot, with the jump in trot - this class is suitable for those normally competing at higher-level Yellow, Yellow Plus, or entry-level Blue level)

• VIOLET - Walk, Trot and Canter off the lead (walk, trot and canter, with the jump in canter - this class is suitable for those normally competing at Blue or Red level)

​

As always, please contact us if you are at all unsure which level/class to enter, and we will try to help based on what you can tell us about your child’s experience and confidence.

​

All details for each event, including the tests (free to download!) that you need to ride, can be found on the Current Event page at the relevant times.

Payment can be made via PayPal (including credit/debit cards if you do not have an account) or there is the option to check out and make a payment via BACS.

If you would like to check your BACS payment has gone through, you can email demidressage@gmail.com

​

PLEASE NOTE although we happily accept overseas competitors, we are only able to accept payment via PayPal if you are outside of the UK. You will also need to add the Overseas Postage option to your basket to 'top up' the UK postage automatically applied at the checkout.

​

Once you have entered, you will need to upload your video to us before the closing date. We recommend YouTube - see the Uploading Your Video page for more help with this.

​

Please TITLE your video CLEARLY - Rider and Pony Name, the level / test they are doing. This is particularly important if you are sending us more than one video link e.g. for two tests or if you have different riders/ponies.

​

RIDING SCHOOLS: We offer a discount on bulk entry fees for Riding School Riders*, as long as they are made together by a single representative from the Riding School. All sheets and rosettes will be posted to this single person who made the entries. Please email demidressage@gmail.com to register interest for your Riding School clients and to get your discount code.

​

*A 'riding school rider' is defined as a riding school client who has lessons (and competes) on a pony/horse that is part of a riding school, not their own (this does not include part-share or loan ponies unless it is a genuine Riding School loan scheme).
