| Dressage Dressage is the basic training of all riding horses. Showjumpers, Show Hacks and Pleasure horses will all benefit from dressage training - dressage training creates a horse that is more comfortable, safe and pleasurable to ride. Competitive Dressage
Competitive Dressage takes the form of a series of increasingly difficult tests. Each test is a rigorous routine of set gymnastic movements which are performed with absolute exactness in front of judges. The sequence of movements designed to show the suppleness, obedience and strength of the horse.
Australian National tests are ridden from Preliminary to Advanced Level. The International Tests, issued by the FEI are executed at five levels, from Prix St Georges through to Grand Prix Special. A Freestyle to Music has recently been added to the Dressage repertoire. In Freestyle tests, riders perform their own pattern of movements choreographed from a list of compulsory elements suitable for each level.
Horses Horses for official competition must exceed 14.2hh, be 3 years of age or over, registered with the EFA and have a current performance card. There are no restrictions on breeds.
Riders
Official dressage requires a rider to be twelve (12) years plus and to be a member of the EFA. Dressage riders come in all shapes and sizes and male and female riders compete on equal terms.
