Hello
I've recently moved country (from Germany, to Holland, and am now in England) and am wanting to do some unaffiliated dressage with my mare. She is well up to Elementary level and does a lovely job in the double bridle. Seeing as every country has slightly different conventions, I've got some questions for you all
1. Is it mandatory to wear black show jackets? Or am I allowed to wear a grey show jacket?
2. Are fly-hats allowed?
3. Am I allowed to ride in a double bridle at Elementary level?
4. What is the maximum difficulty that can be asked in an Elementary test? I've seen leg yielding, reign-back, medium trot, collected trot/canter, and I've heard some of them have counter canter...?
If there are any rules specific to unaffiliated, or any specific english rules, please do let me know, however obvious they may seem!
Thank you!
