Welcome to 15+ Dressage
During 2010 we will stage an exciting Dressage Series for all horses and ponies aged 15 years
& above.
Dates are >>HERE<<
The dressage competitions will cover –
Walk/trot tests, Preliminary, Novice & Elementary levels. Dressage
classes can be incorporated into existing classes by asking the
competitors to wear a coloured armband.
• Qualifier
The first 3 placings for each level will compete at a Championship
Show. Qualifications cards awarded FOC. Rosettes awarded at an extra
charge of £1.50p each.
• Rubare Dressage Series
This new and unique dressage series allows horses/ponies to compete
in different kinds of bits and allows boots to be worn, who have
previously been excluded to compete under BD rules. The first 3
placings will compete at a Championship Show. Qualification cards
awarded FOC. Rosettes awarded at an extra charge of £1.50p
each.
The ‘Rubare’ Dressage Series has
been dedicated by his owner Diane Drysdale to encourage the older
horse/pony to ‘have a go’ and enjoy dressage.
Rubare was a fabulous 15hh Chestnut gelding who
was a successful racehorse in his day, who Diane had proudly owned
for 20 years. He sadly died at the age of 30. He was a relatively
complicated horse to ride and enjoyed all equine activities. He
learned to jump at the grand age of 17 years and started to do local
hunter trials for fun. His forte was showing and hunting. He also
tried dressage in his own fashion but due to rules and regulations
regarding tack we found it difficult to fit in. In 1999 Rubare was
National reserve Champion in the Super Solvitax Veteran of the Year
at the age of 26.
Wishing you all good luck during 2009 and look
forwards to seeing and hearing from you.
