but i think i will have a go. ) but I imagine you'd get that anywhere.
least i shall not be laughed at haha or b@@ched about not had any experiences but i may try this with my nutty TB may be a little safer than taking to an actually event
Hi,
My daughter has been doing "Interdressage" for about 4/5 months and loves it.
She has really improved her score (starting with low 60s and currently getting high 60s, early 70s) and has been placed quite a bit (came 1st once, and won about £12 prize money I think).
I can't emphasis enough how helpful and thorough the advice and comments are - this alone is worth the entry fee. She's taken it all on board and her instructors are now working on her bending and soft outline (which form the basis of most of her critique).
More than anything, it's really taught her to ride accurately - when it says "at A" it means "at A" - not before or after! She tries hard with her circles and turns etc... and loves the "getting pony ready" bit!
I've heard that the scores can be on the high side (so when she goes out to dressage in the future, I've told her to perhaps expect a little lower) and yes, you do get the last minute entrants (usually on the classes with few competitors
The other really good thing, is that there's lots of variety in the classes - last month was jumping, this month is showing, in addition to the dressage classes.
We've had nothing but positive experiences with Interdressage, so yes, definately give it a go!!
Feel free to ask (or PM?) if you want to know anything else.

Sorry to hijack, OP, but wanted to say that's really helpful. I've been looking at the site and wondered whether to try entering my two girls. They did their first dressage event (local, low key) last week and loved it, and as we don't have transport this woudl suit them well. You've persuaded me to give it a go (and who knows, I might even have a stab mysefl).
eek but this has been a really good way of getting discipline and precision into both of them! They've loved it, and intend to continue for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for this fab comment, if i have any Q's i will deffo get in touch. I think i will deffo give it a go, thanks
