Ride times for competitions are listed here beforehand. Results are posted as they become available.

Results for 2012 and earlier years are posted here.


New for 2012:

Starting this year, judges will be allowed to use half points in scoring. As stated in the USEF rulebook (Section DR122):

All half marks from 0.5-9.5 may also be used both for movements and collective marks, at the discretion of the judge.

 

Effective March 1, 2011, for dressage:

For Licensed Shows: anyone mounted on a horse must wear protective headgear except those riders age 18 and over while on horses that are competing only in FEI levels and tests at the Prix St. Georges level and above (including FEI Young Rider Tests, the USEF Developing Prix St. Georges Test and the USEF Brentina Cup Test).

Some riders arrive at our show venues the day before a Licensed Show begins. Anyone mounted on a horse on those days must wear wear protective headgear, with no exceptions.

For Schooling shows: Anyone mounted on a horse must wear wear protective headgear, with no exceptions.

Dressage Tests for 2012

The tests used this year were established by the USEF and USDF tests in 2011. For your convenience, here are some links to places the current dressage tests are published on-line. I will update the links here as they become available.
