Dressage score in eventing

[jazmineduke]

Hi all,

I have a mare that was eventing at intermediate level but unfortunatly due to injury can't jump anymore, i was thinking of maybe doing dressage with her. Can anyone tell me what a good dressage score would be in eventing i have her competition record and at one outing she scored 37.1 for the dressage section is this a good score. Is it the lower the score the better or the other way round. What would 37.1 work out on a normal dressage test.

Many thanks

For eventing, you calculate the % from the good marks as normal, then subtract that % from 100 to get penalties.

So 37.1 penalties = 62.9% good marks in the dressage test.

As for whether it's good, it all depends on where she was relative to others in the class as one day you get a "happy" judge and then the next day a "grumpy" judge!

The lower the score the better. That equates to 62.9% in dressage. Just take the penalty score away frrom 100 to get percentage.

That sort of score is pretty average eventing.

So she received 32.9 that meens in Dressage she would have scored 67.1% is this right?
