Online Western Dressage Competition

1 – Practise the Test

Start by printing and practising the patterns you would like to enter. Choose either the Introductory Level Test 1 for a walk/jog option, or the Basic Level Test 1 for a walk/jog/lope option. Or enter both! Each entry is £5. You can practise as often as you like before filming your official entry. All jog work can be ridden sitting or rising. Any tack and attire goes for this introductory competition, but you must wear a hard hat please. Callers are allowed.
The patterns for this competition are on the main event page https://wes-uk.com/databases/events/introduction-to-western-dressage

2 – Film Your Round

When you're ready, film your ride. Ideally use a 20m x 40m arena with the camera at C, ensuring you and your horse are fully visible at all times throughout the test. Zoom in a little for the far end corners.
