USDF/USEF 2023 dressage tests will be used. Classes offered will include Dressage, Western Dressage, and Eventing Dressage. Each show will feature classes offered only at that show. Tack and equipment must follow USEF guidelines. Rules can be found online at www.usef.org. Decisions of the show manager are final. Riders should be neatly attired (no T-shirts or tank tops). Breeches, jodhpurs, or riding pants may be worn. Boots with heels must be worn. All riders are required to wear helmets when mounted.
There is no coaching during the tests. While these shows are schooling shows, one of our objectives is to prepare horses and riders for recognized shows. In accordance with rules at recognized shows, there will be no coaching riders during their test. We welcome riders to have their trainer/instructor work with them during their warm up but all coaching must cease with the judge’s bell. Coaching during a test is grounds for elimination for the rider.
Courtesy and Sportsmanship are expected and required from all participants and volunteers at NWADC functions.
