Unaffiliated Team Dressage

Join us each month for our Unaffiliated Team Dressage competitions, with tests from Introductory to Elementary in a 20 m × 40 m arena.

Each team consists of three or four riders, drawn from a larger pool of team members if you wish. Riders can choose tests suited to their own level, so teammates can compete at different levels while contributing to the same team result.

New teams and new riders are always welcome. Whether you are entering your first dressage competition or have years of experience, enjoy competing in a friendly, supportive atmosphere where you can build confidence, celebrate progress and share your achievements with teammates.

Alongside individual recognition, teams earn points towards our league, which culminates at the End of Summer Dressage Championship.

Scoring

The three highest percentages in each team count towards the team result. These are added together, with collective marks used to determine placings in the event of a tie.

League points are awarded at each event as follows:

League Points are awarded at each event as follows:
1st Team: 10 points
2nd Team: 8 points
3rd Team: 6 points
4th Team: 4 points
Each unplaced team: 2 points

The team with the highest total number of league points at the end of the league is crowned the winner.

Gather your friends, saddle up and join us for a great day of dressage!
