Can you use a schooling whip in dressage?

[Tiarella]

Im aiming for a ode at the start of september, a tiny tiny ode

45-60cm

Its my first time and his first time so no idea what will happen

I will be doing a small w&t dressage test, will I be able to use a schooling whip? He always seems to get a lot better when I carry a whip, uses his back end a lot more. So am I able to?

Its half and half with the unaffiliated stuff round near me - some don't mind ,some think you have gone mad even thinking about it

best bet is to ring secretary about it and they should be able to give you an answer. Also if you look in schedule some state that they are being run under be/bd or bsja even if they are unaffiliated . Good luck

Yes.

... but having seen above post, I'd check the rules to be on the safe side. Have you looked at their T&Cs? its usually in there.

generally eventing dressage tests allow spurs but not whips.

However if the dressage bitis under BD rules whips will be allowed
