What section do i enter at elementary

[Back with a bang]

Hi

I have looked on the BD website for info but I can’t find what I’m looking for! I am going to enter a British dressage event for this week. My friend is riding my horse and plans to do elementary on him. He only has points at novice level. My friend however has competed and has 18 points at Inter 1 on a different horse.

What section elementary would I have to enter her in?

Thanks in advance

From what I understand, it depends on your rider and what group they are in, according to their winnings. Your rider should know whether she is classed at gold, silver or bronze. Obviously the horse has a level too but if he only has novice points he can go up to elementary. It should be your rider helping you with this.

You need to use the eligibility tables in the rule book. The elementary tables start on page 90. If you are in any doubt, phone the BD office - they are very helpful. Eligibility is not just about points, it's also about scores gained in championships. etc.

Scroll down to “eligibility guides 2024” and there’s quick links to each section

Competition rules

The rules are a great place to start for all the information you need to know to compete in affiliated dressage, including what you and your horse are allowed to wear, what the judges are looking for and how to qualify for all the different championships.
