dressage entry / restriction question.

[Vicki1986]

I am entering a dressage series, i want to do the walk and trot classes but it says "must not have won at W&T" (or some wording similar, website is down at the mo so cant see the exact wording)

I won at a Training competition - based on the below >
Competitors will ride the Test under BD Dressage Competition rules and will then receive approx 20-25 minutes instruction from the Judge, including the option to ride the Test for a second time, also under BD competition rules. The competition will be judged on the first Test.

So does this count as a normal win?? Was hoping to use the W&T for my warm up for prelim class as im still not really prelim level as pony is a bit 'inconsistent' is a nice way of putting it, but i dont want to break the rules!

Was your win at affiliated? If so then under the rules you cannot do the test, however you may be able to go HC. If it was unaffiliated but under BD rules you should still be able to do it.

I would say you are ok to enter the WT class, as you won a training competition, not an "official" competition, but that's just my opinion. You would be best off ringing the organisers to be sure.

the win was unaff and what im entering is unaff.

double check with the organisers. If there is a problem - why donot you ask if you can enter HC - you still get your warm up class then, but wont be in the placings.
