Dressage callers at BE / RC qualifers

[MagicMelon]

Please remind me, Im having a severe mental block right now! Are callers allowed for the dressage at BE and at the RC horse trial area qualifiers? Thanks!

 

[be positive]

Definitely not allowed at BE and unlikely at RC areas although I would not be 100% it would be very unusual to have a caller at any horse trials other than a low level one for novices.

Yeah I know its very unusual but I thought the rule had changed with one of them just recently?

Yes it changed with BRC a few years ago, the link to the rule book has been put up for you:

HT1.3.5: Commanders
Dressage tests at Area Qualifiers may be commanded, but not at the Championships.
Commanders should be courteous when multiple arenas are running and position themselves
to avoid disturbing other riders. Commanders should only read out the printed text or extracts
for each movement and must not use any other words or emphasis to prompt the rider.
