dressage query

[lilym]

are schooling sticks allowed in a prelim test, and if so, what is the maximum length?

 

[GDB]

Yes you can use whips of any length now.... but can be penalised for over use...

Yes they are allowed - I just checked the rule book and can't see a maximum length, it just says they must not be of a length that disturbs other riders.

You're allowed schooling/dressage whips at prelim level for BD, except for championships. I think the maximum length rule has been abolished, so any length is fine!

Just make sure you are not hitting any other competitors with it whilst warming up!!! Other than that any length is allowed.....

it depends if you are riding at a PC event or a riding club event. if you are then its 110cm, if not then unaffliated comps are run under BD rules which are whatever length you like as long as it doset interfear with other riders when you are warming up.
