Introduction to Dressage Competitions for Newbies

PROGRESSIVE Introduction to Dressage Competitions for Newbies...,

Or those returning after an absence or for anyone who would like to learn some competition tips, with Mark Dobson.

Mark Dobson will present a PROGRESSIVE seminar/ protocol session to help riders prepare for a Dressage Competition, picking up where we left off earlier this year and start to look at Preliminary (canter tests) and Novice. The session will cover rules, approved tack/rider attire, arena layout, the warmup, the competitive test and riding accurate figures & lines.  Mark will also do an introduction to the Training Scale & share some tips for riding your first tests.  This was a great hit last time as Mark had some great stories to share.
