Its like a normal 3DE. Dressage on day 1, only walk and trot but even prenovice has collection extension and rein back. Day 2 is marathon, normaly about 20Km with 8 obstacles at the end. The marathon is optimum time, but the obstacle are against the clock. They are lettered gets A-F and you can not go through them backwards or fowards until you have been through it the correct way in the correct order. These are normaly done at a collected canter/fast trot with a gollop the the finish. Then cones on the last day. They are 15cm wider than the carriage and you have to do it at a fast trot, not knoking any down. This is optimum time as well. You drive either a single, pair, tandem or team of ponies or horses.

Wow that sounds like lots of fun.

 

[rara007]

Yes tis! It is great, the only thing I regret about it is I didn't start younger.

 

[MagicMelon]

I do eventing and show jumping mainly. HATE dressage! If I had to choose then I love eventing the most.

 

[kerilli]

i event, i love the xc, but dressage fascinates me and i can do it for hours and hours and never get bored. sj is a real trial though.

 

[vieshot]

point to pointing! (forest wise, not f*** off huge jump p2ping)

I'm a bit surprised how popular dressage is. I just don't get it - I do it because its good for us but it always seems like a lot of hard work and not much fun. Most of the people I know are jumpers too - maybe I'm just mixing with a bad crowd!
