Dressage
What is Dressage?
Dressage is about showing the judge that you can get your pony to do what you want him to do, when you want him to do it.
You and your pony have to follow a set of instructions laid out in the dressage test.
A judge marks the test. They give you a mark out of ten for how well you carry out each instruction. At the end of the test the marks are added up and the winner is the horse and rider with the highest score.
Dressage in the Burton Hunt Pony Club
We are very lucky to have a great coach in Victoria Maw for Dressage – she is a GB International Dressage Rider. British Dressage UKCC Level 3 Accredited Coach and is an enthusiastic and patient coach. She is excellent with all ages and abilities of riders and our members have progressed well under her instruction competing at Area competitions.
We train at Riseholme on alternate Monday evenings, working in pairs of similar ability.
