How to Enter
Dressage Anywhere has been running online dressage competition and training classes since 2010 and has judged over 10,000 dressage tests online to date, with 11,000 members from more than 70 countries. Dressage tests are judged online by a BD List 1, 2 or specialist judge and riders can download their scoresheet as soon as their test has been judged. Including Hobby Horse Dressage competitions is their answer to the current environment.
Oh, this is great! I remember years ago, seeing a Pony Club Hobby Horse show jumping event. The jumps were straw bales and cavalletis, the riders little kids, their horses a stick horse. It was hilarious. One girl had the brilliancy to actually REFUSE a jump, circle around and whack herself on the butt to jump the obstacle. LAUGH? It was wonderful.
