BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Chairmans Address

Dear Member, I’m delighted to be introducing our new Members Handbook. We hope that you find the enclosed information helpful and informative. The handbook incorporates our normal rules and a lot more! This expanded offering reflects our growth as an organisation including new initiatives and services such as Team Quest, and our Equine Helpline run by Harrison Clark Rickerbys. I am proud of our efforts to create an inclusive sport – we have something for all dressage enthusiasts, regardless of the level of rider, or type of horse or pony. For example, we will soon be launching a series for veterans (horses and riders). Or perhaps you support us as a volunteer or in an official capacity – for which we are very grateful. If you are new to our family, then welcome! We hope you experience us as welcoming, transparent, and committed to improving standards in dressage. Please continue to provide us with your feedback and suggestions on all matters relating to British Dressage. Thank you for being a member of our special club. Best wishes,

Penny Pollard BD Chairman

Allow knowingly or otherwise a horse or pony for which he is responsible as owner, lessee, authorised agent, or rider to compete in any dressage competition under the influence of a prohibited substance. Such member shall be in breach of this rule if the analysis of a sample taken from the said horse or pony shows the presence in its body fluids of any quantity of any substance, which is either a prohibited substance or one of its metabolites or a substance which cannot be traced to normal and ordinary feeding and which by its nature is likely to affect the performance of the horse or pony in competition.

g) Unreasonably refuse to allow a horse or pony which has competed or is about to compete in a dressage competition to undergo any properly authorised test or examination if requested to do so by an officer of British Dressage or the show organising committee. Refusal to allow a test for a forbidden substance constitutes a violation of the prohibition on forbidden substances and as such is of equal gravity to the finding of a forbidden substance. h) Conduct them self in a manner which is or may be in breach of the Memorandum and Articles of Association or any rule, regulation or bylaw of the Association. A member shall be in breach of this rule in the event that any person who assists, represents, or acts on behalf of or in the employment of such member during the course of a show affiliated to British Dressage, to the FEI or to any foreign national federation, conducts himself in such a manner that were they a member of British Dressage they would themself be in breach of any of the provision of any rules. i)

Code of Conduct

o) Allow a stallion for which he/she is responsible as owner, lessee, authorised agent, or rider to compete or be prepared to compete, in any dressage competition without taking adequate precautions to ensure other members of the public are not put at risk of injury.

q) Members shall not behave in a way which may be considered inappropriate to members of BD staﬀ. Inappropriate behaviour includes the use of foul language or acting in an intimidating or threatening way. r)

Members shall not unfairly discriminate on the grounds of race, colour, religion or belief, disability, sex, marital status, age, sexual orientation, nationality and ethnic or national origins.

Members shall not post inappropriate words or images on social media that can be deemed offensive, intimidating or threatening to other members, show organisers, officials and BD Staff.

Complaints of misconduct Any person wishing to make a complaint of misconduct by a member must do so in writing to the Chief Executive who will refer it to the Disciplinary Sub Committee, if after preliminary investigation he/she considers that a prima facie case of misconduct exists. Anyone seeing an incident which they may wish to report, where possible, should note the time, place, names etc. and try and ﬁnd additional witnesses. They should approach the Steward, Organiser or Senior Judges on site who should inform the individual concerned of the complaint. Every eﬀort should be made to ascertain the condition of the horse and whether it has been marked by bit, spur or whip. All evidence should be written down and submitted to the Chief Executive. A decision to prosecute a complaint against a member will be in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive and/or Disciplinary Sub Committee. The complainant will be required to give evidence on behalf of British Dressage if such decision is taken but shall take no further part in the proceedings other than as a witness.

Notice of complaint As soon as practically possible after receipt of a complaint against a member, and the Chief Executive considering it appropriate to refer the complaint to the member, a letter identifying the date, venue, and nature of the complaint shall be sent to the member with any other supporting evidence as the Chief Executive deems appropriate. The accused member shall be given opportunity by the Chief Executive to respond to such complaint. Upon receipt of such response the Chief Executive shall decide whether to proceed with the complaint pursuant to summary powers or refer the complaint to the Disciplinary SubCommittee for a hearing. In the event that the Chief Executive decides to proceed with a Disciplinary SubCommittee hearing copies of all the evidence gathered by British Dressage in support of the complaint shall be delivered to the accused member in advance of the hearing. Notice of the time and place of the Disciplinary SubCommittee meeting will be sent to the member against whom a complaint has been made at least three weeks before the date of such hearing unless in exceptional circumstances it is not possible to give notice less than 3 weeks when a shorter period of notice shall be given.

In turn, the RDO and the Regional Committee work under the direction of the Board and Technical Committees. Members are allocated a region based on their address registered with BD, however if they live on or close to a border of two regions may opt to be in a diﬀerent region to that of their address.

SECTION 1 Membership & Horse Registration

Membership & Horse Registration

1. Agreement to be bound by the rules a) All members of British Dressage (BD) are bound by the Memorandum and Articles of BD, together with the rules, regulations and byelaws made under them. Decisions of the Board and other delegated authorities of BD in connection with the rules, regulations and byelaws are ﬁnal and binding. Members are responsible for ensuring they are familiar with the Rules. b) The Rules and Annexes contained in this book are in force at the date of publication. Any amendments by BD are enforceable on the date of publication (unless otherwise stated in the notice of amendment), provided that notice of such amendment is published in one or more of the following media: British Dressage Magazine Show Organisers and Oﬃcials Newsletters British Dressage Website – www.britishdressage.co.uk c)

By signing an Aﬃliation Agreement, Show Organisers are considered members of BD and are bound by all BD rules, regulations and byelaws and any published Code of Conduct. Additionally, they agree to abide by and observe the decisions of the Board and delegated authorities and committees of BD. Show Organisers are responsible for ensuring that they are familiar with the Rules, Code of Conduct and any amendments made to them.

d) It is understood and agreed by members that any photographs (and/or film footage) taken at a BD affiliated show or activity by an official photographer may be used by BD for security and/or promotional purposes without payment. Under 18s consent will be covered by the photo consent form contained in the BD Child Protection Policy. 2. Acceptance of rules Becoming a member of BD and making an entry for an affiliated dressage competition constitutes acceptance of these Rules. Owners and riders must ensure that horses and riders are eligible to compete in the classes for which they are entered. Any dispensation from these Rules is only valid if in writing. 3. British Dressage membership Only members of BD may ride in affiliated competitions or register as the owner of a horse/pony, except for those entering using a class ticket or where the class permits to ride with associate membership. Applications for membership are to be made on the approved form and submitted to the BD office. They may also be made online at www.britishdressage.co.uk. Applications must be accompanied by the appropriate fee. BD reserves the right to decline any application for, or renewal of, membership without stating a cause.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

BD subscriptions run for twelve months from the date of joining, except for Winter membership which runs from 1 October – 31 March and Trial membership which runs for 6 months from the date of registration and is only available to those who have never been a member of BD previously.

BYRDS and Team Quest Club membership only entitles members to compete in Preliminary classes and in Team Quest competitions. Those with a BYRDS or Team Quest Club membership who qualify for an Area Festival or Regional Championship must upgrade to a full member in order to compete. Riders must be a minimum of associate members to compete in Introductory or Preliminary open sections, and their horse must hold an associate horse registration. Should they wish to compete in Preliminary restricted sections the rider must be a paid member or compete on a class ticket. British riders not residing in the UK who compete in national competitions outside of the UK must have written permission from BD to do so and be a full member of BD.

Membership & Horse Registration

Music membership entitles riders to compete in freestyle to music qualiﬁers with a registered or associate registered horse. Horses must be fully registered to compete in Music Regional Championships. All riders competing in freestyle to music competitions must sign a PPL licence. Class tickets may not be used to compete in music classes as BD membership is required for PPL licensing.

Section 1

Only members of BD and organisers of aﬃliated competitions are covered by the insurances provided by BD (see annexes for full details).

4. Age of members There is no upper or lower age limit. Members are responsible for ensuring they are fit to compete. 5. Class tickets BD members on nonregistered horses, and nonmembers on registered or non registered horses can purchase class tickets at £8 each. Each ticket enables them to enter one affiliated class. Holders of class tickets must also pay the entry fees and are subject to the BD Rule Book. Class tickets may be used at any level (except music classes) provided the rider is eligible to compete in the class entered. Those riding on a class ticket are eligible to win prize money and rosettes but will not earn grading points or qualify for Championships other than Area Festivals. 6. Horse/Pony registration Before competing in an affiliated dressage competition, a horse or pony must be registered with BD (except for Introductory and Preliminary open classes where horses may have an associate horse registration). There is no lower height limit for registration but horses/ponies must be four years old or over to compete. BD reserves the right to refuse registration. For Preliminary restricted, Music, Young Horse and Para Equestrian classes, horses must be registered either fully or have associate horse registration. The latter is free of charge and allows BD to record a horse’s details and results. An Associate member may register an associate horse.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Section 1

Full registration for horses and ponies runs for 12 months from the date of registration (with the exception of Winter/Trial). If a horse’s registration has lapsed for more than one month, any points or qualifications gained since lapsing will not be allocated. A horse that has been subject to a loss of use insurance claim may be registered provided that it is sound and sufficiently fit for competition.

Membership & Horse Registration

The legal owner/s of horses and ponies registered with BD must also be members of BD because, where the stated owner of a registered horse/pony is not the legal owner, this could invalidate the liability insurance under the BD policy. Registrations are accepted on the understanding that the person making the registration is the bona ﬁde owner, part owner or authorised agent of the horse or pony registered. BD accepts no responsibility in cases of disputed ownership, which must be settled by the parties concerned. BD may suspend registration of the horse or pony until such time as the dispute over ownership is settled. Mares may not compete after their fourth month of pregnancy or with a foal at foot. 7. Names of Horses and Ponies Horses/Ponies must be registered with the same name as the name shown on their registered national breed society or FEI passport. The only exceptions are as follows: •

The name of the horse/pony can be changed if the name on its passport is formally changed by the issuing authority; the owner must send the relevant pages of the new amended passport to BD for veriﬁcation. The fee for change of name is £30.

•

A horse registered with a diﬀerent name to that on the passport prior to the implementation of this rule in 2010 may keep the registered name. However, if the owner wishes to change the registered name to match the name on its passport, this can be changed free of charge.

•

If the horse/pony’s name has not been entered on its national breed society passport the owner can choose the horse/pony’s name, enter it direct onto the passport and inform the passport issuing body of its name. This name will be linked to the horse/pony’s unique identiﬁcation number shown on its passport.

•

A suitable preﬁx or suﬃx (not shown in the horse/pony’s passport) may be added for a fee of £30.

•

If the horse/pony is subsequently registered with the FEI, the chosen preﬁx may not be permitted and the horse/pony must be named according to FEI rules.

•

If a horse/pony changes ownership/sponsorship the preﬁx/suﬃx can be removed and the horse/pony can revert back to its original name unless the national breed society passport has also been changed. There is no charge for this.

8. Age of horses and ponies The age of a horse/pony is taken from 1 January in the year in which it was born. The minimum age from which a horse may compete is 4 years old. Horses competing at PSG level and above must be at least 7 years old. Horses competing at Grand Prix must be at least 8 years old. 9. Pony Height Certiﬁcates Ponies may be registered and compete on equal terms with horses in all aﬃliated competitions, with a rider of any age. Grading points will be awarded in the normal manner.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Riders should ensure that their ponies are used to being measured and within the current height limit, as they are liable to be measured if they travel to International competitions, and will be measured at the Pony European Championships.

10. Equine Influenza Vaccination A valid passport must accompany the horse to all competitions and be produced on request; failure to comply is a disciplinary offence and will debar the horse from competing at the event for which it has been entered. A horse will not be permitted to compete unless it has a current vaccination against equine influenza which complies with the following conditions: •

An initial course of two injections for primary vaccination, not less than 21 days and not more than 92 days apart, are required before being eligible to compete;

•

A ﬁrst booster injection must be given between 150 and 215 days after the second injection of primary vaccination;

•

Subsequent booster injections must be given at intervals of not more than one calendar year, commencing after the ﬁrst booster injection.

•

The full course or booster must have been administered at least 7 days before the competition.

Membership & Horse Registration

Ponies which attend Pony Squad training will be measured by the Team Vet at one or more of their sessions. Copies of valid Height Certiﬁcates for all ponies entered for Selection Trials must be submitted with their entries.

Section 1

Ponies are not required to obtain FEI Height Certiﬁcates for their FEI Passports. However, ponies must have current JMB Height Certiﬁcates for National competitions.

The Record of Vaccination(s) in the horse’s passport, in which the record of injection(s) is completed, signed and stamped line by line, must be completed by an appropriate veterinary surgeon (who is neither the owner nor the rider of the horse). For those competing under FEI rules please refer to the FEI rules.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Section 2

SECTION 2 Grading of Riders and Horses

Grading of Riders and Horses

11. Grouping of riders Riders will be graded in the following groups (also see rules relating to down grouping): Group 1 Riders who have competed in a CDI abroad or in any CDIO or CDIW after 1 January 2000. Group 1 riders may not compete in Novice and Elementary qualifiers. Group 2a Riders who have won point(s) at Grand Prix or who have competed in Big or Small Tour in a UK based CDI after 1 January 2000 (except Group 1). Group 2a riders may not compete in Novice qualifiers. Any U25 rider who competes in FEI 1625 GP will become Group 2a. Should the rider compete in this class abroad, and also compete in any Senior CDI class, that rider will automatically become Group 1. Group 2 Riders who have won point(s) at Inter I and above in National Classes after 1 January 2000 (except Groups 1 & 2a). Group 3 Riders who have won points at PSG level or above (including FEI Young Rider classes) since 1 January 2000 (except Groups 12). Additionally, riders may claim Group 3 status in order to ride at PSG, having gained 62% or above in Advanced 102 or 105 or FEI YR level tests in the previous 12 months. Such claims may be made by writing to the BD Office, and will take effect once the member has received notification of their upgrade. U21 Riders may compete in the FEI YR level tests without having claimed their Group 3 status. Group 4 Riders who have won more than 14 points at Advanced Medium level or any points at the levels above (including FEI Junior classes), after 1 January 2000 (except Groups 13). Group 5 Riders who have won more than 14 points at Medium level or any points at the levels above (including FEI Pony classes) after 1 January 2000 (except Groups 14). Group 6 Riders who have won more than 14 points at Elementary level or any points at the levels above after 1 January 2000 (except Groups 15). Group 7 Riders who have won more than 14 points at Novice level or any points at the levels above after 1 January 2000 (except Groups 16).

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

All other riders. All Pony, Junior and Young Riders regardless of their age will adhere to the same rules as a Senior Group 1 rider if they compete in a Senior International CDI, CDIO, CDIW, Small Tour or Big Tour (UK or abroad). This does not apply to Under 21 riders competing in CDIs at Pony, Junior and Young Rider level.

A rider who has competed at BE Intermediate horse trials since 1 January 2000 may not be below Group 6. Those with a BHSI or FBHS qualification will be no lower than Group 5 upon registration. 12. Down Grouping of Riders a) Riders who have not competed at or above a specific level (including British Eventing) for four years or more may apply to the BD office in writing to down group by one level. b) Riders who have won fewer than 15 points at a specific level prior to 1 December 2007 may be eligible to move to a lower rider group. Riders may only down group by one level. Cumulative points over more than one level will not be taken into account. Members should apply to the BD office so that their competition record can be checked and rider group amended where applicable.

Grading of Riders and Horses

Any rider who has competed at BE Advanced horse trials since 1 January 2000 may not be below a group 5 rider.

Section 2

Group 8

13. Foreign riders domiciled in the UK and/or competing in national classes Foreign riders and those who have spent more than 12 months abroad will be no lower than Group 3 upon registration unless BD grants dispensation. Foreign riders competing in the UK require permission to compete from their National Federation; this must be submitted to the BD office upon registration. Riders with passports from Eire are considered to be foreign. Riders who wish to maintain their eligibility to ride for their own country may compete in Qualifiers and Championships but even though they may win the Grand Prix Championship classes they will not become the BD National Champion and will not be awarded sashes, rosettes or prize money. Foreign riders competing at all other levels except Grand Prix at the National Championships may be awarded first place sashes, rosettes and prize money. 14. Grades of horses Horses may compete only at the level they are graded or higher. The upper points limit for each grade is as follows: Preliminary

49 points

Novice

124 points

Elementary

199 points

Medium

299 points

Advanced Medium

425 points

Advanced & Above

Open to any horse

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Section 2

There are additional limits for classes qualifying for National Championships and restrictions on horses which have started at Intermediate I and above. See Rules for Qualifying and Championships for each level. Ponies ridden by riders of 16 years and under may continue to compete at Medium level once 299 points are achieved but must compete in the Open section.

Grading of Riders and Horses

FEI Pony tests carry grading points equivalent to medium level classes therefore riders gaining more than 14 points will become a group 5 rider. 15. Grading points Horses are graded on a points system. Points will be awarded against the percentage achieved in accordance with the scales below: 60.00 – 61.99%

1 point

62.00 – 63.99%

2 points

Horses obtaining the percentages shown in the grading points table will be allocated points regardless of place and prize money. However, points are not awarded for Introductory and Preliminary classes, Music classes and all Young Horse classes. For Preliminary Restricted classes “Prelim Points” will be allocated to the same scale as all other classes. Prelim Points are for qualification purposes only and do not count towards the upgrading of a horse. Grading queries can only be dealt with in writing and within twelve months of the relevant competition. 16. Imported horses When an imported horse is registered with BD, it is the owner’s responsibility to submit a full competition record for the horse so that BD points can be allocated and the horse graded accordingly. For the purpose of registration, horses foaled in Northern Ireland and Eire are classified as British. An imported horse which has been registered with BE for at least one year and has a competition record will be exempt from importation rules. If the owner is not able to submit a competition record for the horse, points will automatically be awarded based on the horses age at time of importation according to the below table.. It is the owner’s responsibility to supply proof of age at import i.e., official import documents or the record of a vaccination administered in the UK. hese points may be reduced by Downgrading or Assessment. Imported horses without competition records will be graded according to their age at the time of registration to the scale given in the table unless proof of import at an earlier age can be supplied. These points may be reduced by Downgrading or by Assessment.

Section 2

Restrictions apply to horses which have competed at Inter IGP levels. Any such horse is not eligible to compete in qualifiers at lower levels unless it has been downgraded, regardless of its actual points total. BD record the previous points for all downgraded horses. Downgrading applies to an individual horse/rider combination; it is only maintained if the horse is competed by another rider at the same group (or lower) as the rider who downgraded the horse, whilst still registered to the downgrading owner. For example, a horse downgraded by a Group 7 rider will only maintain its downgraded status if competed by another Group 7 or 8 rider, or a rider of an equivalent Group if the downgrading rider upgrades. If the horse is sold, or a rider of a higher grade competes it, the horse’s points will revert to the highest number of points the horse has ever had on its record. A horse can only be downgraded once it has gone over the upper points limit for that level. e.g. a novice horse can only be downgraded once it has reached 125 points or more. Downgraded horses must be ridden in the Open section, up to the level from which they have been downgraded regardless of rider group. Horses may be ridden in qualifiers once they have been formally downgraded. Once a horse has been downgraded it loses any qualification that it has previously earned. A horse may be dedowngraded for a fee of £10 and will revert back to its highest ever points total (provided this total is higher than its current points).

Section 2 Grading of Riders and Horses 22

18. Horse Assessment If the owner wishes an imported horse’s level of training to be assessed, this must be done between first registration and the first competition entry. They must contact the BD Office to make an appointment for the horse to be assessed. An assessed horse does not carry the restrictions imposed by downgrading. The cost of assessment is £75. Assessors are not to assess horses that are known to them, eg horses the assessor has previously seen in training or a purchasing/selling context. 19. Grading of horses training or competing abroad Horses which go abroad and compete in National competitions will be classed as imported horses for grading purposes if they return to the UK. However, if a full competition record for that horse from the foreign federation is presented to BD, only the appropriate number of points according to results achieved will be added to the points the horse had when it left the UK.

Competitions & Eligibility

20. Competition Structure Each year, nearly 10,000 classes from Intro to Grand Prix are held around Britain. Members can choose to participate for pleasure or may wish to qualify for BD’s various championships. BD holds two major Championships per year; the Winter Championships in April and the National Championships in September. For the majority of levels, members need to qualify for a regional championship to gain a Championship place. There are a series of Premier League competitions aimed at riders fine tuning the top horses ahead of international competition and qualifying for the FEI level classes at National Championships. Petplan Equine Area Festivals are BD’s Grassroots Championships series aimed at riders looking to have a first taste of a big Championship. Area Festivals are held all over the UK from August to November each year with classes from Prelim to Inter I and qualify for a national championship held in April the following year. In addition to the above there are individual series and championships for Para Equestrian riders, Young horses, Freestyle to Music, and fun competitions such as Team Quest. 21. Qualifying competitions At each level there are specific dressage tests that are referred to as qualifiers. These are marked with a Q in their class title in the show schedule. Rules and Qualifications for each championships can be found later in this book. 22.

Freestyle tests BD produces Test Sheets for Freestyle Tests at Introductory as listed aboves. These tests may be ridden either with or without music. No grading points are given for any Freestyle competition, whether with or without music, but in all other respects they are run in accordance with graded classes of the comparative level. 24. Introductory classes Introductory classes are open to members or associate members in groups 7 & 8 on registered and associate registered horses with no grading points. Grading points will not be awarded for Introductory classes and sheets gained in these classes cannot be used for qualification. 25. Preliminary classes The Open section of Preliminary Classes is open to members or associate members on registered or associate registered horses, horse not to have gained more than 49 BD points. Those competing in the open section do not qualify for the Winter or Summer Regional Championships. The Restricted section of Preliminary Classes is for those who are eligible to qualify for the Summer and Winter Regional Championships, i.e. members of BD who are groups 7 or 8, riding registered or associate registered horses with no more than 49 BD points. Preliminary Restricted sections classes carry “Prelim points” which are used for qualification purposes only and do not affect the horses grade. Full horse registration is required for the Winter/Summer Regional Championships and Area Festivals.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Restricted and Open sections are oﬀered so that less experienced riders who have just started competing at a given level can compete against similarly inexperienced riders in the Restricted section. The Group into which each rider is placed is determined by their experience at each level of competition. The rider group then determines whether they may compete in the Restricted sections of classes as set out below.

Classes from Preliminary to Advanced Medium will be divided into Open and Restricted sections. Organisers are to oﬀer both sections when running a class at a level where Open/Restricted sections apply. At Preliminary only those in the Restricted qualiﬁer section are eligible to qualify for National/Winter Championships. There is no championship for Open Preliminary.

Competitions & Eligibility

Restricted section riders may gain 14 points at the next higher level before having to ride in the open section at the level below. For example, a Group 7 rider will be able to gain 14 points at Elementary before becoming Group 6 and therefore having to ride in the Novice Open section. This applies to all levels from Novice to Medium. At Advanced Medium, riders may gain unlimited points at advanced level and retain eligibility to ride in the Restricted section. Those who wish to compete at PSG must be Group 3 and must ride in the Advanced Medium Open section.

Section 3

26. Restricted and Open sections

Riders must state the section they are entering for every class; if not stated, they will be put in the Open section. Riders may not change section once a class has started. 27. Eligibility for Restricted and Open sections

At Preliminary level

Riders are eligible for Restricted sections if they have won no more than 14 points at Elementary level or any points at the levels above since 1 January 2000.

At Novice level

Riders are eligible for Restricted sections if they have won no more than 14 points at Elementary level or any points at the levels above since 1 January 2000.

At Elementary level

Riders may enter the Restricted section if they have won no more than 14 points at Medium level or any points at the levels above since 1 January 2000.

At Medium level

Riders may enter the Restricted section if they have won no more than 14 points at Advanced Medium level or any points at the levels above since 1 January 2000.

At Advanced Medium level

Riders may enter the Restricted section if they have won no points at PSG or above since 1 January 2000 and they do not wish to use Advanced points to claim Group 3 status in order to compete at PSG.

Those riding a downgraded horse must compete in the Open section upto the level from which the horse was downgraded. BD and BE riders awarded a Union Flag must ride in the Open section (with the exception of Para Equestrian Dressage riders). As soon as the Union Flag is awarded, any qualiﬁcations already gained in Restricted sections are to be transferred to Open sections.

Points won by a Group 1 or Group 2a rider may not count as a part qualification for Novice and/or Elementary classes for the horse concerned. Foreign riders allocated to Group 3 by default must qualify for PSG by achieving a score of 62% or more in Advanced 102 or 105. In order to be eligible to ride at PSG, riders must have achieved 62% or above in Advanced 102 or 105 or FEI YR level tests in the previous 12 months and claimed their group 3 status via the BD office. Such claims may be made by writing to the BD Office, and will take effect once the member has received notification of their upgrade. If any rider receives a score below 50% in a class at PSG or above they may not compete at these levels again until they have achieved a score of 62% or more in Advanced 102 or 105. 28. Training sections Training sections are open to members on registered or associate registered horses; non members may enter with class tickets. Both horse and rider must be eligible under BD Rules for the levels entered. Score sheets gained cannot be used for qualification to Summer or Winter Regional Championships, however, they may be used to qualify for Area Festivals. No grading points will be given and the results will not affect rider status. No Prize money or rosettes will be awarded. BD Rules apply to Training sections. 29. Eligibility for riders under the age of 14. All riders under the age of 14 (the end of the year of their 13th birthday) will be allowed to continue to ride in the restricted section at any level irrespective of their rider group. For example – A rider under the age of 14 who has gained more than 14 points at elementary is eligible to remain in the restricted section at novice rather than move in to the open section.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

The exception to the downgrade rule is that a downgraded horse/pony ridden by a rider under the age of 14 may be ridden in a restricted section an does not have to go open section.

As soon as a rider reaches the end of their 13th year they will return to the appropriate section and level (open/restricted) as per the regular BD rules. A rider under the age of 14 who has been placed at the Winter or National Championships at a level is not eligible to ride in the restricted section at that level or below in future years, and must move to the open section in the same way as riders over 14. An under 14 rider is bound by the same rules for Championships and if qualified may not rider at two restricted levels. 30. Unaffiliated competitions If an unaffiliated class is run at an affiliated show, the class must be run and judged separately from any equivalent affiliated class. If there are fewer than ten riders in either section, the class may be mixed, but organisers should endeavour to keep the sections separate whenever possible. Unaffiliated classes run as part of an affiliated show must be run under BD rules in all respects in order to be covered by BD insurance.

Competitions & Eligibility

All riders under the age of 14 will qualify for Regionals and Area Festivals in exactly the same way as all other riders.

Section 3

All horses must still be eligible for the level being ridden at and if the horse points limits are exceeded the horse will need to be downgraded.

31. Pick Your Own classes (PYO) Certain classes may be designated as PYO by an organiser. They will only be open to members of BD riding registered horses or to those with class tickets. They may cover more than one level with the schedule stipulating the test to be ridden eg. PYO FEI. A PYO FEI class may also include FEI Para tests. Classes are judged on a percentage basis. PYO classes only count as nonqualifying classes in relation to qualifying points. 32. Associated competitions These competitions are open to members and nonmembers of BD but may be restricted in some way, for instance to horses in a certain stud book. They are run under BD rules and may give whatever prize money they choose. Their schedules must be included in the schedules section in “British Dressage” and they will be liable for the £2.00 levy per competitor although no grading points will be given and classes will not count as qualiﬁers for the BD Championships.

SECTION 5 Competitor dress and saddlery

Competitor Dress and Saddlery

44. Dress Advanced Tests – tail coat with protective hat or top hat, or short jacket with protective hat, both with correctly tied white/cream stock or tie. Uniform may be worn with protective hat or uniform cap. Introductory to Advanced Medium Tests (including FEI Junior tests) – uniform, short jacket or tweed coat with correctly tied stock, white American Collar or shirt and tie, and protective hat. As long as the core dress rules are adhered to, embellishments and additions to any item of dress are permitted as long as they do not pose a welfare risk to the horse. 45. Coats/Jackets Tail coats and short jackets may be any conservative, dark colour, e.g. black, navy, bottle green, charcoal grey, brown, etc, and may not be multicoloured or boldly striped. Subtle pinstripes are permitted, as are coloured collars and contrast piping to collar, lapels, pockets and vents. The red collar on a navy jacket used by the British team may not be used. Tweed jackets may not be brightly coloured or have loud patterns. Logos level with the breast pocket are permitted on jackets but must not exceed 80 square cm (9cm x9cm approx). At the discretion of the organiser or judge, competitors may ride without coats in excessively hot weather, but a suitable long/short sleeved shirt that fastens at the neck (not bright or multicoloured) with a tie, American collar or correctly fastened stock must be worn. A fitted, plain, conservativecoloured waistcoat may be worn when permission has been granted not to wear coats. Plain, darkcoloured waterproof coats may be worn in wet weather. 46. Body Protectors Riders may wear body protectors or inflatable air jackets. 47. Hats Protective hats are to be worn by all riders at all times when mounted at a BD competition, including exercising, warming up and competing. Top hats or uniform caps are permitted as an exception to this rule only for Advanced to Grand Prix classes (including FEI Young Rider level) but only for the warm up directly prior to the competition (which may include riding from horse box park/stable to warm up arena) and competition test. It is, however, recommended that riders to whom this exception applies wear protective hats at all times for their own safety. Organisers may require that Under 21 riders are to wear protective hats at all levels, if this is stipulated in the schedule. Organisers may also prescribe venuespecific rules that are stricter than stated if clearly shown in their schedules.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Competitors are strongly recommended to check their hats are correctly fitted and replace them if damaged, or following a fall, and are responsible for ensuring their hat meets the required standards above. Riders are also advised to check the wording of any insurance policy they may depend on in case of accident for any specific requirements regarding the wearing of hats. If a hat comes off during a dressage test, it must be replaced immediately; the rider may dismount or the hat may be handed to them. The test will be restarted at the beginning of the movement during which it came off. There will be no penalty for error of course, but if the hat is not replaced the Judge is to eliminate the competitor. If a rider starts their test without wearing the correct headgear, the Judge is to ring the bell and instruct the rider to dismount and leave the arena. At the discretion of the organiser and the Judge, the rider may restart the test once properly attired. If a rider fails to comply with the instruction, the organiser is to eliminate the competitor from all classes on that day. This will also apply if, as a result of a spotcheck, a rider’s hat is found not to comply with the required standard.

52. Whips Riders may carry a whip in all National Classes except FEI level classes at Premier Leagues (including FEI U21 classes), Area Festivals, Regionals and Championship Classes or at the request of the Selectors. A rider may compete HC carrying a Whip in an FEI level Class at a Premier League, however the result may not be used as any qualiﬁcation.

Competitor Dress and Saddlery

A whip may not be carried by a competitor riding any FEI Pony, Junior or Young Rider test. In national 4, 5 and 6 year old qualifying classs whips are permitted. At Young Horse Championships, only 4 year olds may have whips, not 5 and 6 year olds. Whips are not permitted when the FEI Young Horse tests are ridden. A whip may always be carried when riding side saddle, but at no time may more than one whip be carried during a test or when warming up. Excessive use of the whip is forbidden. A whip must not be used in a way or be of a length that disturbs other riders or horses, and may not be picked up if dropped during a test. When saluting, competitors must take the reins and whip, if carried, in one hand, to salute with the free hand. 53. Union flag pocket badge Only riders selected to represent Great Britain that compete on a Grand Prix team at a CDIO, CPEDI, Europeans, World Games, Olympic or Paralympic Games are entitled to wear the Union Flag badge on the breast pocket.

70. Arena layout Arenas are to be set out to the dimensions shown. The arena should be level and separated from the public by a distance all round of 15 metres for International competitions and at least 10 metres for other events if more room is not available. Adjacent arenas should be a minimum of 5 metres apart. Roping (incorporating safety break points) should be used when necessary to prevent intrusion. The arenas may be marked in the following ways: a) By a continuous surround of white boards. b) By intermittent white boards placed at each corner and opposite each marker. NB â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Alternative arena surrounds may be used with permission from BD. Plan of 20 x 40 arena The length of the diagonal from corner to corner is 44.72 m

71. Markers The outer markers must be clearly visible. Arena boards may be marked opposite each outside marker. A gap of about one metre each side of the centre line must be left at A to form an entrance and the A marker placed far enough back to allow horses to enter the arena on a straight track. 72. Inspection of arenas

Riding the Test

The Judge is responsible for checking that the arena is satisfactory and having it modified as necessary. 73. Competitors’ conduct Riders and owners of competing horses and their assistants must, under penalty of elimination, obey any order or direction given to them by any official and they must, in particular, be careful not to do anything liable to upset or hinder the progress of the competition. 74. Competitors’ responsibility/declarations The competitor is responsible for arriving at the appropriate competition arena early enough so that they start their test at the designated time. The competition time allocated to the competitors is the time that they should start their test. 75. Dispensation Any BD member with a physical disability preventing them from riding a test in accordance with the rules or who requires compensating aids should apply to the Dispensation Panel through the BD Para Officer for a Dispensation Certificate. Members applying for dispensation for a permanent disability must be assessed by a qualified FEI or RDA classifier. Contact the BD Para Officer for details. On classification, if a rider’s impairment is not considered sufficiently severe under the ParaEquestrian rules to warrant classification to Grades I IV, the dispensation panel will review the full classification card submitted by the classifier. The level of impairment in the relevant affected part of the body will be considered (e.g. a rider requesting dispensation for looped reins would have the scores for wrist, fingers and thumb taken into account, but not those for any other part of the body). Only riders demonstrating 10% or higher levels of impairment (based on the classification results) in the relevant body part will be considered. When entering a competition, the rider is to send a copy of the Dispensation Certificate to the organiser who is to pass it to the Judge. Such competitors must be capable of riding in and competing in the facilities as provided for all competitors. Any improvement or deterioration in the rider’s condition must be reported to the BD Para Officer. 76. Numbers Ideally all horses should wear numbers on both sides of their bridle or saddle cloth. Horses attending affiliated competitions are to wear their competition numbers at all times when they are ridden or exercised.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Section 6

77. Riding in collecting ring or practice areas/arenas Riders are to behave with consideration to their fellow competitors whilst working in: a) Pass left hand to left hand when meeting another rider coming in the opposite direction unless they are in counter canter, when you should give way by circling.

Riding the Test

b) Make tack adjustments outside the arena if possible, or near the middle of the arena, but without obstructing the diagonal or centre lines. c)

To avoid accidents, announce that you intend to enter an indoor practice area.

d) Ensure your whip is not so long or used so that it could upset a passing horse. e) Do not halt or walk on the outside track and always leave room for other riders to pass. f)

Do not lunge without the permission of the Organiser and only if there is suﬃcient room so as not to cause inconvenience to other riders.

g) Trainers or other pedestrians are not to stand in the collecting rings or practice areas/arenas and must minimise disruption to other riders when helping their client. h) Riders with impaired vision should wear a white armband whilst warming up as an indication to other riders. i)

If a warmup arena is becoming overcrowded, the Organiser or steward/marshal may ask competitors not competing that day to leave. An organiser/steward may impose a limit on the number of horses allowed in the warmup arena, giving priority to those closest to performing their test.

78. Commanders a) Commanders may be used in all classes except Area Festivals, Premier Leagues, Championships and Selection Trials, although they may be used for warm up classes. Organisers who do not wish to allow commanders at their shows must state this in the schedule. b) Where commanders are allowed the competitor is responsible for ensuring that only the words of the printed text or extracts therefrom are read out and that there is no emphasis on any part of the command. The Judge may eliminate the rider if this rule is not met. c) The Judge may mark an error of course for repetition of any part of the text if it is used to redirect a competitor in the process of making such an error. d) Dispensation must be granted by BD for the use of headsets, and will only be permitted when an independent adult stands next to the caller to check that only words from the tests are used. e) Commanders may be introduced partway through the test at the Judge’s discretion f)

Commanders may not stand inside the arena.

g) A Commander may be used for blind riders in addition to callers.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

The Judge is to eliminate a rider who is given any outside assistance designed to help them improve their performance during a test. 80. Penalties for contravening rules

81. Tack Checking A Steward may be appointed to checking saddlery and equipment, but competitors are responsible for complying with the rules. If a bit is in question the trainer/groom may be asked to open the horse’s mouth before or after the test at the rider’s discretion. Alternatively, the bridle can be removed following the test. When checked after the competition, if the bit is not permitted the horse will be eliminated from the competition.

Riding the Test

The penalty for a contravention of these rules will range from a two point deduction for each occurrence of a minor infringement, such as incorrect dress; to elimination for major infringements, such as forbidden tack, or when stated explicitly in the rule concerned. Elimination is always at the discretion of the Judge and the rider will be notiﬁed at the end of the test. Points will be deducted from the ﬁnal score and will not count as errors of course. Please see annex 2 for the table of penalties for contravening rules.

Section 6

79. Outside assistance

82. Entering arena before the signal to start Normally, no horse may enter any arena, other than the practice arena, except when actually competing, on penalty of elimination. Competitors must wait until the Judge has signified that they may start before entering the arena. Riders are not to enter or ride around the competition arena during a break or whilst the Judge is not present. Where the construction of the arena makes it impossible for the competitor to ride outside the entire circumference of the arena before the Judge’s signal to enter is sounded, they may ride inside the arena. Where a 40m x 20m arena has been created within a 60m x 20m arena, the competitor is permitted to ride in the entire arena. Depending on the circumstances, riders have the option of entering at A from inside or outside the arena. Any horse failing to enter the arena within 45 seconds of the bell being sounded will have a 2 mark penalty per Judge awarded. Failure to enter after 90 seconds of the signal to start will result in elimination. 83. Execution of test Movements must follow one another in the order laid down in the test. In a movement carried out at a specific point, the movement is executed when the rider’s body is level with the marker. All tests are to be ridden with both hands except where stated otherwise on the test sheets. In tests up to and including Elementary, transitions may be progressive except where stated otherwise on test sheets; in simple changes the upward transition is always direct. Competitors may not repeat a movement or put in an extra circle or loop, unless the Judge decides that an error of course has been made, and sounds the horn or bell. If, however, the rider has started a movement and tries to do the same movement again, the Judge is to consider the first movement only and, at the same time, penalise for an error of course.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Section 6

84. Salute Competitors are to take the reins and whip, if carried, in one hand, then lower the free hand to their side and nod their head. Gentlemen wearing top hats may salute in the same manner or, if they wish, may remove and lower their hat with their free hand before nodding. 85. Sitting and rising

Riding the Test

Trot work may be ridden sitting or rising for all tests at Elementary level and below. At Medium level trot work must be ridden sitting except extended/medium trot movements, which may be ridden in rising. At Advanced Medium level and above sitting trot is mandatory. For National Young Horses tests in 4, 5 and 6 year old classes trot work may be sitting or rising. FEI tests, including Young Horse tests, require sitting trot except where specifically stated otherwise. 86. Leaving the arena Riders are to leave the arena (after the final salute) at walk on a long rein at an appropriate place. The Judge is to eliminate any horse that leaves the arena during a test, when the surround is continuous and 9in high or more. Where the surround is less than 9in, no marks are to be given for any movement when the horse places all four feet outside the arena. Where the arena is marked by a line or intermittent boards, it is at the Judge’s discretion as to the marks deducted. Any horse leaving the arena not under control is to be eliminated. A test begins when the horse enters at A and finishes when it moves off from the final salute. 87. Dismounting and/or fall of rider/horse If, after the rider has entered the arena, they dismount without a reason acceptable to the Judge, no marks will be given for the movement. In the case of a fall of horse and/or rider, the combination will be retired immediately from that test but may ride in further tests if the rider declares they are fit to continue. 88. Resistance a) Any horse failing to enter the arena within 45 seconds of the bell being sounded will have a 2 mark penalty awarded by each Judge. Failure to enter after 90 seconds of the signal to start will result in elimination. b) The Judge is to eliminate any horse refusing to continue the test for a period of 20 consecutive seconds during a test. 89. Grinding teeth and tail swishing Teeth grinding and tail swishing may be signs of nervousness, tenseness or resistance and can be taken into account by the judges in their marks for the movements concerned as well as in the appropriate collective mark at the end. 90. Voice The use of the rider’s voice is prohibited and is to be penalised by the loss of two marks from the score that would have been awarded for each movement in which it occurred.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Tests will be timed from the move off after the first salute until the halt before the final salute. Halts must be shown at the beginning and the end of all freestyle tests and these must be on the centre line facing the judge. Two penalty points will be deducted from the final total if a test exceeds the maximum time allowed or is more than 30 seconds shorter than the minimum stated time.

Riding the Test

In the case of a technical failure that will interfere with the competition, the judge at C will ring the bell. In the case of the rider’s music failing, skipping or jumping during a test, the rider may make one request to restart or the judge can suggest that they restart. When possible the restart should be immediate but if not the rider should return to complete or restart their test during a scheduled break or at the end of the competition. During extreme weather conditions or other extreme situations the judge at C may ring the bell for interruption of the test. The rider should return to complete their test when conditions permit. It is up to the rider whether to restart the test from the beginning or to commence from the point the music failed. In either case the marks already given to the point at which the music failed will not be changed.

Section 6

91. Freestyle to music and Technical failures

Test sheets are available at all levels and each includes a list of compulsory movements, noncompulsory permitted movements and prohibited movements. If included, movements of a higher standard than the test being performed will be penalised by the deduction of two points each time they are performed. Where a competition consists of two rounds, the second being a freestyle competition, a rider automatically declares their intention to compete in the Freestyle if they participate in the first round. In cases of legitimate withdrawal due to illness or veterinary/welfare reasons the next qualified combination will move up into the freestyle. 92. Riding the wrong test A rider who starts the wrong test for the class may be allowed to restart the test (at the Judge’s discretion) as long as they can do so immediately. They will be penalised for a first error of course.

93. Errors of course When a rider makes an error of course (takes the wrong turn, omits a movement etc), the Judge at C is to ring the bell. If necessary, the Judge will explain the point at which the rider must take up the test again, and the next movement to be executed. However, in some cases when the sounding of the bell would unnecessarily impede the ﬂuency of the performance – eg if the competitor makes a transition from medium trot to collected walk at V instead of K or, cantering up the centre line from A, makes a pirouette at D instead of at L – it is up to the Judge to decide whether to ring the bell or not. The Judge should ring the bell when a movement is executed at the wrong marker, if there is the possibility of a similar mistake when the movement is repeated on the other rein. If the combination does not enter at A in a Freestyle test, two marks are to be deducted.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Section 6

If the Judge does not realise until the competitor has left the arena that one or more movements have been omitted he must: a) Adjust as necessary the position of his marks and comments on his sheet to accord with the movements actually performed. b) Give to each of the movements not executed a mark equal to the average of the collective marks entered at the bottom of his sheet (averaged to the nearest half).

Riding the Test

Record the penalty for error of course.

94. Penalties for errors of course Every error of the course, whether the bell is sounded or not, is to be penalised: •

the ﬁrst time by 2 points

•

the second time by 4 points

•

the third time the competitor is eliminated, although he may continue his performance to the end, marks being awarded in the ordinary way.

95. Errors of the test If a competitor makes an error of the test (eg, trots rising instead of sitting, or at the salute does not take the reins in one hand) he is to be penalised as for an error of course. The writer is to put a star against the movement concerned and mark an error at the bottom of the sheet. Competitors are not to repeat a movement of the test unless the Judge at C decides on an error of course and sounds the bell. If, however, the rider has started the execution of a movement and tries to do the same movement again, the Judges must consider only the ﬁrst movement shown and also penalise for an error of course. The penalty points are deducted on each Judge’s sheet from the total points given to the competitor. 96. Lameness In the case of marked lameness, the Senior Oﬃciating Judge is to inform the rider that he is eliminated. There is no appeal against the decision. If there are any doubts as to a horse’s soundness, the competitor will be allowed to complete the test and any unevenness of pace severely penalised.

97. Scoring method Each Judge will allot from 010 points for each numbered movement and collective. Half marks from 0.5 9.5 may be used. The marks are then added together and any penalty marks are deducted. It is essential that all penalty marks are deducted from the individual totals before these are added together. Where there is a panel of 2 or more judges, the final percentage is calculated by adding the scores for all judges and calculating the percentage for the combined total. Under both BD and FEI Rules the Judges’ marks are totalled to find the final percentage. If 2 riders achieve the same percentage, the horse with the higher collective marks is to take the higher placing. If the total of the collective marks is also equal the horses concerned are to be given the same placing.

This rule only applies to residents in Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man and other offshore islands. Riders who gain points at competitions held on the mainland may only use them towards the full qualification total. On island points may also be used towards the full total, but off island points may not be used towards the reduced on island total. 118.General rules applicable to all Freestyle to Music qualifiers a) Riders must provide their own CD, timed to run from the moveoff from the halt at the start of the test, until the final halt.

b) Wild cards are a means of qualifying for a championship other than gaining qualification at the Winter or Summer Regionals or direct from a Premier League. When determining the ratio for direct qualification from Regional Championships, a percentage of the available places at the Championships are retained for use as wild cards. c)

Immediately after the final Winter or Summer Regional Championships those qualified at Preliminary – Advanced Medium are listed and the remaining places in the relevant Championship class are filled by the nonqualified competitors with the next highest percentages from across all of the Regionals. Wild cards are only distributed after all Championship places have been allocated to those who qualify by right. If combinations on the wild card list end on equal percentages, the collectives will decide the order of acceptance.

d) For Prix St Georges and Intermediate I, wild cards are to be offered to nonqualified combinations from both Premier Leagues and Regional Championships, with the aim of having approximately 70% of the places available at the National Championships filled from combinations competing at Premier Leagues/CDIs. e) The Board may offer places for any BD Championship or Regional Championship. This discretion is mainly for higher level classes at the National Championships and for horses that the selectors would like to see in top class competition. 120. Potential International Dressage Horse Championship qualifying classes a) Classes are to be held in an arena minimum area of 60 x 20 or equivalent (1200 sq m) and ideally should be enclosed with fencing. b) In the first rounds, horses’ natural paces are assessed as they are ridden in groups of 2. Each pair will ride a set pattern which will be commanded. This is not a dressage test and marks will not be deducted for riding the wrong pattern. The pattern is designed to assess the quality of the horse’s paces, talent and training. First round marks are used solely to determine the top 6 horses, which then return for final judging. Horses are not stripped or ridden by the Judges. Final placings are decided between the top 6 horses, disregarding the first round marks. c)

Regionals and Championship Qualification

a) Combinations qualify from Regionals to the National or Winter Championships on a proportional basis, depending on the total number qualified at each level and the number of starters at each Regional Championship. A table showing the ratio of qualifiers to starters and any variation on the proportional qualification basis for a specific class is to be displayed at each Regional Championship.

Section 8

119.Qualiﬁcation from Regionals to National/Winter Championships and wild card allocation

There are separate sections for 4 and 5 year olds.

d) The 1st and 2nd with scores of 7.0 or over from each section go forward to the Final at the National Championships where they will be prejudged. The top 6 horses in each age group will go forward to final judging. Once qualified it is mandatory to participate in the final. In cases of legitimate withdrawal due to illness or veterinary/welfare reasons the next qualified combination will move up. e) If the 1st or 2nd placed horse is already qualified for the final, the qualification passes down to the next eligible combination. If the class is oversubscribed priority is given to those not already qualified.

139. Regional Rankings & Finals Each of the eight BD regions will have its own TQ leader board. Teams can compete in any TQ competition in any region, but their points based on their pacing at the competition will be allocated to the team’s regional leader board. The regional rankings are based on points and will only take into account the 5 best placings for each team. At the end of the qualifying period a Regional Final will be held in each of the eight regions. The top 15 teams from each section (BYRDS & Open) within the region will qualify for the respective regional ﬁnal. Teams must compete in the regional ﬁnal within the region which they have nominated to ride in. Points at each competition will be allocated according to team placings, as follows: Team Placing

4th

5th

6th

7th

8th

9th

10th

Teams lower than 10th place will not receive any points. In case of equality of points, points accumulated over fewer events will determine a higher placing than points gained over more events. For example a team earning 30 points in three competitions will go ahead of a team who have earned 30 points across ﬁve competitions. If there is still equality of placing the individual percentages contributing to the team total at each show will be added together. The higher total of such percentages will take the lead.

ANNEXES ANNEX 1 Welfare of the Horse

Welfare of the Horse

British Dressage adopts the FEI code of conduct for the welfare of the horse in all respects in order to maintain standards in both International and National competition. FEI Code of conduct for the welfare of the horse The FEI requires all those involved in International equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI’s Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at all times the welfare of the Horse must be paramount and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial inﬂuences. 1. At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all other demands. a) Good horse management Stabling, feeding and training must be compatible with good horse management and must not compromise welfare. Any practices which could cause physical or mental suﬀering, in or out of Competition, will not be tolerated. b) Training methods Horses must only undergo training that matches their physical capabilities and level of maturity for their respective disciplines. They must not be subjected to any training methods which are abusive or cause fear or for which they have not been properly prepared. c)

Farriery and tack Foot care and shoeing must be of a high standard. Tack must be designed and ﬁtted to avoid the risk of pain or injury.

d) Transport During transportation, horses must be fully protected against injuries and other health risks. Vehicles must be safe, well ventilated, maintained to a high standard, disinfected regularly and driven by competent staﬀ. Competent handlers must always be available to manage the horses. e) Transit All journeys must be planned carefully, and horses allowed regular rest periods with access to food and water in line with current FEI guidelines.

2. Horses and Athletes must be ﬁt, competent and in good health before they are allowed to compete. a) Fitness and competence Participation in competition must be restricted to ﬁt horses and athletes of proven competence.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Doping and Medication Abuse of doping and medication is a serious welfare issue and will not be tolerated. After any veterinary treatment, suﬃcient time must be allowed for full recovery before competition.

d) Surgical procedures Any surgical procedures that threaten a competing horse’s welfare or the safety of other horses and/or athletes must not be allowed. e) Pregnant/recently foaled mares Mares must not compete after their fourth month of pregnancy or with foal at foot. f)

Welfare of the Horse

Annex 1

b) Health status No horse showing symptoms of disease, lameness or other signiﬁcant ailments or preexisting clinical conditions should compete or continue to compete when to do so would compromise its welfare. Veterinary advice must be sought whenever there is any doubt.

Misuse of aids Abuse of a horse using natural riding aids or artiﬁcial aids (e.g. whips, spurs, etc.) will not be tolerated.

Events must not prejudice horse welfare. a) Competition areas Horses must only be trained and compete on suitable and safe surfaces. All obstacles must be designed with the safety of the horse in mind. b) Ground surfaces All ground surfaces on which horses walk, train or compete must be designed and maintained to reduce factors that could lead to injuries. Particular attention must be paid to the preparation, composition and upkeep of surfaces. c)

Extreme weather Competitions must not take place in extreme weather conditions if the welfare or safety of the horse may be compromised. Provision must be made for cooling horses quickly after competing in hot or humid conditions.

d) Stabling at events Stables must be safe, hygienic, comfortable, well ventilated and of suﬃcient size for the type and disposition of the horse. Clean, good quality and appropriate feed and bedding, fresh drinking water, and washingdown water must always be available. e) Fitness to travel After competition, a horse must be ﬁt to travel in accordance with the FEI’s guidelines.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Annex 1

4. Every eﬀort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers are over.

Welfare of the Horse

a) Veterinary treatment Veterinary expertise must always be available at an event. If a horse is injured or exhausted during a competition, the athlete must dismount and a veterinarian must check the horse. b) Referral centres Wherever necessary, the horse should be collected by ambulance and transported to the nearest relevant treatment centre for further assessment and therapy. Injured horses must be given full supportive treatment before transport. c)

Competition injuries The incidence of injuries sustained in competition should be monitored. Ground surface conditions, frequency of competitions and any other risk factors should be examined carefully to indicate ways to minimise injuries.

d) Euthanasia If injuries are sufficiently severe the horse may need to be euthanased by a veterinarian as soon as possible on humane grounds and with the sole aim of minimising suffering. e) Retirement Every effort should be made to ensure that horses are treated sympathetically and humanely when they retire from competition.

5. The FEI urges all those involved in equestrian sport to attain the highest possible levels of education in their areas of expertise relevant to the care and management of the competition horse.

British Dressage Statement Those in the sport of Dressage are very caring of their animals and welfare related incidents are usually due to a lack of knowledge and understanding. Therefore by adopting a more proactive approach to welfare and its implementation, we can help prevent these situations occurring. It will be for the Technical Committees ie Judges, Training etc to make policy recommendations on welfare issues relating to their areas of responsibility and to implement this policy. These policies will be reviewed annually by the Welfare Committee. Each Technical Committee should have a member whose speciﬁc responsibility is welfare policy.

BD Welfare procedure Any distress caused to dressage horses is almost always due to ignorance or over determined riding. Riders are usually very concerned when they are told that their actions amount to

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

It is always preferable to deal with welfare issues on the day on which they have occurred and either while they are occurring or as soon as possible after they have occurred. If the issue can be dealt with appropriately on the day it may not be necessary to report it. If however the issue can be dealt with on the day but the Technical Delegate (TD)/Organiser/Judge/Steward still feels that it is a serious welfare issue then it needs to be reported to the Disciplinary Sub Committee for further action/consideration. If in the opinion of the TD/Organiser/Judge/Steward this issue cannot be dealt with on the day then it should be reported to BD along the following lines:

Welfare of the Horse

If during a competition abuse to a horse is witnessed by an Organiser, a Judge or a Steward, a second person should be sought to discuss the incident before a decision is taken, unless the situation is very urgent in which case an attempt to stop this abuse should be made immediately. If someone else witnesses what they perceive to be abuse they should immediately draw it to the attention of an Organiser, Judge or Steward.

Annex 1

abuse and are anxious to cooperate. The person on the ground must keep this in mind when assessing the situation and act accordingly.

Make a note of the time and place, name of horse and the name and contact details of at least one witness. Report the abuse to BD setting out all of the details as clearly as possible. If possible the competitor involved should be informed on the day that a complaint is being sent to BD about their conduct. If abuse takes place during a test and abuse of the horse is seen, or blood is seen and this amounts to abuse of the horse as laid out below, then the competitor must be eliminated immediately. The competitor must be informed why they have been eliminated and if the Judge feels it appropriate the situation should be reported to BD.

Examples of abuse (this is not an exhaustive list and other incidents or injuries may be considered to be abuse or the result of abuse): •

Bit – The bit must never be used as punishment.

•

Spurs – To use spurs excessively or persistently so as to injure the horse. If a judge/steward sees a spur that is likely to cause injury they can ask the competitor to remove them.

•

Overworking – To ride/compete an obviously exhausted, lame or injured horse.

•

Whip – Excessive and inappropriate use of the whip is not acceptable.

•

Lameness – Riding an unsound horse.

•

Tack – Tack should be correctly ﬁtted to avoid pain.

•

Distress – To manifest distress of a horse or pony whether caused by the rider or external factors.

•

Blood – If blood is seen anywhere on the horse during riding in or the test the rider should be stopped, informed and must withdraw from the competition. The blood may or may not be related to abuse but it indicates a problem which requires attention and which the rider should know about. If the blood is only noticed by the

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Annex 1

Judge towards the end of the test and before there is a chance to stop the horse, then an inspection should take place immediately after the test is finished and if the horse is definitely bleeding then the score should not count. If the Judge at C fails to see the blood but it is seen by a cojudge, Organiser, spectator etc it should immediately be reported to the Judge, Steward or Organiser who should inspect the horse and if it is confirmed then the score would not count.

Welfare of the Horse

Any horse which has a “sore patch”, an area where hair has been rubbed oﬀ and the skin is inﬂamed, in a location where there is a danger that the skin could be broken if the horse were continued to be ridden, must be withdrawn from competition. If the sore patch is not noticed until after a test has been completed, then elimination will only occur if the skin is broken, however the horse may not continue to compete for the remainder of the competition thereafter, unless approved to continue by an independent vet.

ANNEX 3 Member & Judge Complaints Procedure

Member & Judge Complaints Procedure

Complaints against members Complaints of misconduct Any person wishing to make a complaint of misconduct by a member must do so in writing to the Chief Executive. If after preliminary investigation he/she considers that a prima facie case of misconduct exists, it will be referred to the DSC.. Anyone seeing an incident which they may wish to report, where possible, should note the time, place, names etc. and try and ﬁnd additional witnesses. They should approach the Steward, Organiser or Senior Judges on site who should inform the individual concerned of the complaint. Every eﬀort should be made to ascertain the condition of the horse and whether it has been marked by bit, spur or whip. All evidence should be written down and submitted to the Chief Executive. A decision to prosecute a complaint against a member will be in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive and/or Disciplinary Sub Committee. The complainant will be required to give evidence on behalf of British Dressage if such decision is taken but shall take no further part in the proceedings other than as a witness.

Complaints against Judges Complaints relating to Judges; a Judges conduct; behaviour or performance or the judging of a particular class or competition will be considered according to the following procedure:

100

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Requirements

Complaints not made in accordance with this rule will not be accepted.

Complaints regarding scores will not be accepted, (a Judge’s decision is ﬁnal in relation to scores). Complaints or challenges to scores should be dealt with under the rule relating to Objections. Complaints should where possible, be supported by evidence or statements from independent witnesses.

Conﬁdentiality Complaints will be dealt with in a conﬁdential manner.

Process 1.

As soon as possible after an incident anyone wishing to complain should send a written complaint to the CEO giving as much information as possible about the incident concerned including where possible details of any independent witnesses and any video/DVD and or copies of any test sheets of other documents. The complaint should be sent to the CEO to either:

Member & Judge Complaints Procedure

Complaints will only be accepted in relation to the conduct or performance of BD Judges in connection with aﬃliated competition.

Annex 3

All complaints must be made in writing and be signed by the complainant who shall also give their full name and address either by letter or email addressed to the Chief Executive.

Email: Jason.brautigam@britishdressage.co.uk or Post: Chief Executive, British Dressage, Building 2020, Meriden Business Park, Meriden, West Mids, CV5 9RG. If a complaint is made more than 14 days after the incident complained of the Chief Executive may in his/her sole discretion refuse to investigate the complaint. 2. The CEO will acknowledge receipt of the complaint as soon as reasonably possible. The CEO may at this stage request further evidence such as video/DVD, copies of test sheets or names of witnesses. 3. The CEO will review the complaint and supporting evidence to consider whether or not it requires further investigation. Complaints not supported by evidence are unlikely to be considered or investigated. In this respect the decision of the CEO is ﬁnal. 4. If the CEO considers that the complaint should be investigated, the Judge detailed in the complaint will be asked to respond to the complaint. Such response should be received by the CEO within 14 days of the request for a response being made. In the absence of a response the CEO will be entitled to consider the complaint in any event. The CEO will also make any further enquiries he or she considers to be appropriate. 5.

If having made further enquiries the CEO considers that the complaint should be pursued further the complainant will be informed and a copy of the complaint may be provided to the Judge who is the subject of the complaint.

ANNEX 6 Dressage Definitions

Dressage Definitions

The scales of training The way of going Dressage is about retaining and developing each horse’s natural athleticism. We want him to do the movements but not dourly and subserviently. We want him to be willing and gymnastic, and the way of going is just as important as achieving the technical requirements (such as halting four square). More and more emphasis is being put on the way of going, the quality of the work, and it is no longer sufficient to simply do the movements. For the shoulderin it is not just a matter of checking the angle and positioning but also whether the horse has rhythm, suppleness, contact, impulsion, straightness and collection. Similarly for lengthened strides the Judge should ask not just: “was there lengthening?” but also: “was there rhythm, suppleness, contact, straightness?” The most tried and tested ways of understanding the way of going are the German Scales of Training. These are what the riders in the most successful dressage nation in the world learn in their early years of riding and what the leading international judges talk about at the seminars they give. Those Scales of Training are: • Rhythm • Suppleness • Contact • Impulsion • Straightness • and eventually, Collection As a rule the training scales are approached in that order but there are times when one is skipped over to work on another. However, until the horse works with rhythm, it will be difficult to make him supple, and until supple, contact will be spasmodic and until the contact is true, impulsion will be illusive. Also the scales should improve and be of a higher standard the more advanced the training. Therefore the suppleness accepted in a young novice horse as being good enough to start working more on the contact and impulsion will be much less than that expected in a horse that is advanced enough to learn flying changes. Rhythm Rhythm should be both: 1.

Regular, that is correct for each pace. In the walk there should be four hoof beats – in a marching time. In the trot two hoof beats – the legs move in diagonal pairs plus a moment of suspension when all legs are oﬀ the ground. In the canter three hoof beats – only one diagonal pair move together and there is a moment of suspension.

2. The same tempo (speed of the rhythm) and this should have a pronounced beat to it. The horse should not speed up or slow down whether he is going around a corner or on a straight line, whether he is lengthening his strides or shortening them.

112

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

The aim is that the horse’s muscles have tone and are free from resistance, his joints are loose and he does not tighten against the rider’s aids. The muscles that are really important are those over the top line from the hind legs over the quarters, loins, in front of the wither and up to the poll.

Contact The ideal contact is a light, even, elastic feel in both reins and this is achieved by aids from the legs and seat, not the hands. The legs are applied as a driving aid, the horse steps under more and works ‘through’ those muscles along his top line – over the back, neck, through the poll and the rider feels the energy thus created in the reins. When the contact is established in this way his outline and steps will be ‘round’ not hollow, and in the trot and canter springy and not ﬂat. The horse’s hindquarters and forehand are connected by that band of muscles over the top line and the rider can feel this in his hands as there will be a lively forward tendency in the reins. The horse is then said to be ‘connected’.

Dressage Definitions

The test of whether a horse is supple and working ‘through’ the back and neck is that when the rein contact is eased (as in a free walk) the horse wants to stretch forward and down and not try to hollow and lift his head.

Annex 6

Suppleness

Impulsion This is the contained power of the horse. It is created in the hindquarters by getting him to take more energetic steps, to place his hind legs further under his body, and it is contained by the rein contact that stops him from using up this extra energy to simply go faster. Any resistance, tightening of muscles, ligaments and joints, will block this energy getting through so he must be supple and connected to be able to build up real impulsion. Riders aim to create enough impulsion to develop the horse’s ability and to show off his athleticism but not so much that it cannot be controlled. The skill of the rider is to create as much energy as can be contained without the horse starting to pull and speed up. Straightness Horses, like humans, are born one sided and will tend to move forward with their bodies slightly curved. This crookedness can get worse if a rider sits to one side and/or keeps a stronger contact in one rein than the other. When a horse is crooked it will be more difficult for him to stay balanced and develop impulsion. The aim is that the hind legs step into the tracks of the forelegs both on a straight line and on a circle, and that the rider has an even feel in his reins. Collection Dressage makes the horse a better ride, more manoeuvrable, more powerful and easier to control. To achieve this, his balance has to be changed as he has to adjust to carry the weight of the rider in the most efficient way. When he is first ridden he will carry most of the rider’s weight on his forehand. This is cumbersome; he will tend to run faster when asked to lengthen his strides, he will find it difficult to stop quickly and will often lean on the rider’s hands to keep his balance. Through training the necessary muscles are built up and he is taught how to carry more and more weight on his hindquarters. This lightens his forehand, gives more freedom to move his shoulders and he will become an easier and more athletic ride.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

113

Annex 6

Over time the horse is asked for more and more collection so his hind legs step further forward under his body and as he does this, the weight will be transferred backwards, he will be developing the carrying power of the hindquarters.

Dressage Definitions

In Grand Prix this collection is such a high level that the horse can trot on the spot in piaffe or turn around practically on the spot in the canter pirouette. In Pony Club and Novice tests no collection is asked for but there are movements that start to develop the collection. These include when the horse comes into a halt or changes from lengthened strides to a working trot. As he stops or shortens his steps he should step more under his body with his hind legs and transfer a little more of his weight onto his hindquarters, this is the beginning of collection. Summary The Scales of Training can be used as helpful checks on the way of going for the rider when doing a movement, for the Judge when marking a movement, and the spectator when looking at a movement. When there is rhythm, suppleness, contact, impulsion, straightness and in the more advanced tests collection, the way of going is good. Definitions of movements ridden in National tests Turns and circles A rider in movement along the outer track will continue along it on the same rein, without alteration of pace or manner of riding, until instructed to do otherwise. If required to leave this track and return to it (e.g. when circling), the rider will continue along the track in the same manner of going as he left it and on the same rein unless instructed to do otherwise. For a simple ‘Turn right (or left)’ the rider will change direction through 90° by riding a quarter of a small circle (as at a corner) beginning before reaching the marker and finishing on a line at right angles to the track and directly opposite the marker. For ‘Turn right (or left)’ at any marker the rider will turn in a similar manner but will finish on the outer track. (N.B. – the horse must not begin by swinging out in the opposite direction and then cross the line of approach). Change of pace at a given marker The horse should make the first step in the new pace as the rider passes the marker. (When the transitions are progressive they must begin before reaching the marker). Where a movement requires medium or extended canter followed by a transition to collected trot, some collection should be shown just before the transition. Simple change Simple change of the leg at canter. This is a change of leg where the horse is brought back immediately into walk and, after approx. one horse’s length, is restarted immediately into a canter with the other leg leading. The walk steps should be clearly shown. A simple change is always through the walk. If walk steps are not required the movement should be described as a ‘change of leg/lead through trot’ and NOT as a simple change. Give and retake the reins The rider pushes one or both hands, as stated on the test sheet, towards the bit to clearly release the contact and then retakes it. The movement of the hands/hand should be continuous and achieved over two or three strides. As this is a test of self carriage the horse should stay in balance, keeping the same rhythm, level of engagement, suppleness of the back, and accept the restoration of contact without any loss of submission.

After the ﬁnal salute the rider should move oﬀ from the halt at a walk on a long rein and leave the arena at an appropriate place. Work on a long rein

Annex 6

Leave the arena

Free walk on a long rein

Trot/canter on a long rein The horse is allowed the freedom to lower and stretch his head and neck forward and down while the rider maintains a light contact through the reins. The horse should continue to trot/canter in the same rhythm, with suppleness of the back and self carriage.

Dressage Definitions

Free walk on a long rein is a pace in which the horse is allowed complete freedom to lower and stretch out his head and neck while the rider maintains a light contact through the rein. The horse covers as much ground as possible, without haste and without losing the regularity of his steps, the hind feet touching the ground clearly in front of the foot prints of the forefeet.

Large walk half pirouette The principles are as in the walk pirouette but are performed with less collection. They are approached out of a medium walk although the rider can shorten the walk just before them. The hind legs are permitted to make a half circle of 1 metre in diameter and the horse returns to the track on a straight line without taking sideways steps. FEI Object and General Principles of Dressage, by kind permission of the FEI 1. The object of Dressage is the development of the horse into a happy athlete through harmonious education. As a result, it makes the horse calm, supple, loose and ﬂexible, but also conﬁdent, attentive and keen, thus achieving perfect understanding with the athlete. These qualities are demonstrated by: •

The freedom and regularity of the paces.

•

The harmony, lightness and ease of the movements.

•

The lightness of the forehand and the engagement of the hindquarters, originating from a lively impulsion.

•

The acceptance of the bit, with submissiveness/throughness (Durchlässigkeit) without any tension or resistance.

2. The horse thus gives the impression of doing, of its own accord, what is required. Conﬁdent and attentive, submitting generously to the control of the athlete, remaining absolutely straight in any movement on a straight line and bending accordingly when moving on curved lines. 3. The walk is regular, free and unconstrained. The trot is free, supple, regular and active. The canter is united, light and balanced. The hindquarters are never inactive or sluggish. The horse responds to the slightest indication of the Athlete and thereby gives life and spirit to all the rest of its body. 4. By virtue of a lively impulsion and the suppleness of the joints, free from the paralysing eﬀects of resistance, the horse obeys willingly and without hesitation and responds to the various aids calmly and with precision, displaying a natural and harmonious balance both physically and mentally.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

115

Annex 6

In all the work, even at the halt, the horse must be “on the bit”. A horse is said to be “on the bit” when the neck is more or less raised and arched according to the stage of training and the extension or collection of the pace, accepting the bridle with a light and consistent soft submissive contact. The head should remain in a steady position, as a rule slightly in front of the vertical, with a supple poll as the highest point of the neck, and no resistance should be oﬀered to the athlete.

Dressage Definitions

6. Cadence is shown in trot and canter and is the result of the proper harmony that a Horse shows when it moves with wellmarked regularity, impulsion and balance. Cadence must be maintained in all the diﬀerent trot or canter exercises and in all the variations of these paces. 7.

The regularity of the paces is fundamental to Dressage.

The Halt 1.

At the halt the horse should stand attentive, engaged, motionless, straight and square with the weight evenly distributed over all four (4) legs. The neck should be raised with the poll as the highest point and the noseline slightly in front of the vertical. While remaining “on the bit” and maintaining a light and soft contact with the athlete’s hand, the horse may quietly chew the bit and should be ready to move oﬀ at the slightest indication of the athlete. The halt must be shown for at least 3 seconds. The halt should be shown throughout the salute.

2. The halt is obtained by the displacement of the horse’s weight to the hindquarters by a properly increased action of the seat and legs of the athlete, driving the horse towards a softly closed hand, causing an almost instantaneous but not abrupt halt at a previously ﬁxed place. The halt is prepared by a series of halfhalts (see transitions). 3.

116

The quality of the paces before and after the halt is an integral part of the assessment.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

1. The walk is a marching pace in a regular and wellmarked four (4) times beat with equal intervals between each beat. This regularity combined with full relaxation must be maintained throughout all walk movements.

3. The following walks are recognised: Medium walk, Collected walk, Extended walk and Free walk. There should always be a clear diﬀerence in the attitude and overtracking in these variations. 3.1. Medium walk. A clear, regular and unconstrained walk of moderate lengthening. The horse, remaining “on the bit”, walks energetically but relaxed with even and determined steps, the hind feet touching the ground in front of the hoof prints of the fore feet. The athlete maintains a light, soft and steady contact with the mouth, allowing the natural movement of the horse’s head and neck. 3.2. Collected walk. The horse, remains “on the bit”, moves resolutely forward, with its neck raised and arched and showing a clear selfcarriage. The head approaches the vertical position and a light contact is maintained with the mouth. The hind legs are engaged with good hock action. The pace should remain marching and vigorous, the feet being placed in regular sequence. The steps cover less ground and are higher than at the medium walk, because all the joints bend more markedly. The Collected walk is shorter than the Medium walk, although showing greater activity.

Dressage Definitions

2. When the foreleg and the hind leg on the same side move almost on the same beat, the walk tends to become an almost lateral movement. This irregularity, which might become an ambling movement, is a serious deterioration of the pace.

Annex 6

The Walk

3.3. Extended walk. The horse covers as much ground as possible, without haste and without losing the regularity of the steps. The hind feet touch the ground clearly in front of the hoof prints of the fore feet. The athlete allows the horse to stretch out the head and neck (forward and downwards) without losing contact with the mouth and control of the poll. The nose must be clearly in front of the vertical. 3.4. Free Walk. The free walk is a pace of relaxation in which the horse is allowed complete freedom to lower and stretch out his head and neck. The degree of ground cover and length of strides, with hind feet stepping clearly in front of the footprints of the front feet, are essential to the quality of the free walk.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

117

Annex 6

3.5. Stretching on a long rein. This exercise gives a clear impression of the "throughness" of the horse and proves its balance, suppleness, obedience and relaxation. In order to execute the exercise "stretching on a long rein" correctly, the athlete must lengthen the reins as the horse stretches gradually forward and downward. As the neck stretches forwards and downwards, the mouth should reach more or less to the horizontal line corresponding with the point of the shoulder. An elastic and consistent contact with the athlete's hands must be maintained. The pace must maintain its rhythm, and the horse should remain light in the shoulders with the hindlegs well engaged. During the retake of the reins the horse must accept the contact without resistance in the mouth or poll.

Dressage Definitions

The Trot 1. The trot is a two (2)beat pace of alternate diagonal legs (left fore and right hind leg and vice versa) separated by a moment of suspension. 2. The trot should show free, active and regular steps. 3. The quality of the trot is judged by general impression, i.e. the regularity and elasticity of the steps, the cadence and impulsion in both collection and extension. This quality originates from a supple back and wellengaged hindquarters, and by the ability to maintain the same rhythm and natural balance with all variations of the trot. 4. The following trots are recognised: Working trot, Lengthening of steps, Collected trot, Medium trot and Extended trot. 4.1. Working trot. This is a pace between the Collected and the Medium trot, in which a horse’s training is not yet developed enough and ready for collected movements. The Horse shows proper balance and, remaining “on the bit”, goes forward with even, elastic steps and good hock action. The expression “good hock action” underlines the importance of an impulsion originating from the activity of the hindquarters. 4.2. Lengthening of steps. In the test for four (4)yearold horses "lengthening of steps" is required. This is a variation between the Working and Medium trot in which a Horse’s training is not developed enough for Medium trot. 4.3. Collected trot. The horse, remaining “on the bit”, moves forward with the neck raised and arched. The hocks, being wellengaged and ﬂexed, must maintain an energetic impulsion, enabling the shoulders to move with greater mobility, thus demonstrating complete selfcarriage. Although the horse’s steps are shorter than in the other trots, elasticity and cadence are not lessened. 4.4. Medium trot. This is a pace of moderate lengthening compared to the Extended trot, but “rounder” than the latter. Without hurrying, the horse goes forward with clearly lengthened steps and with impulsion from the hindquarters. The athlete allows the horse to carry the head a little more in front of the vertical than at the Collected and the Working trot, and to lower the head and neck slightly. The steps should be even, and the whole movement balanced and unconstrained.and the whole movement balanced and unconstrained. 4.5. Extended trot. The horse covers as much ground as possible. Without hurrying, the steps are lengthened to the utmost as a result of great impulsion from the hindquarters. The athlete allows the horse to lengthen the frame and to gain ground whilst controlling the poll. The fore feet should touch the ground on the spot towards which they are pointing. The movement of the fore and hind legs should reach equally forward in the moment of extension. The whole movement should be wellbalanced and the transition to Collected trot should be smoothly executed by taking more weight on the hindquarters.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

All trot work is executed “sitting”, unless otherwise indicated in the test.

The canter is a three (3)beat pace where, in canter to the right, for example, the footfall is as follows: left hind, left diagonal (simultaneously left fore and right hind), right fore, followed by a moment of suspension with all four (4) feet in the air before the next stride begins.

Dressage Definitions

The Canter

Annex 6

2. The canter, always with light, cadenced and regular strides, should be moved into without hesitation. 3. The quality of the canter is judged by the general impression, i.e. the regularity and lightness of the steps and the uphill tendency and cadence originating from the acceptance of the bridle with a supple poll and in the engagement of the hindquarters with an active hock action – and by the ability of maintaining the same rhythm and a natural balance, even after a transition from one (1) canter to another. The horse should always remain straight on straight lines and correctly bent on curved lines. 4. The following canters are recognised: Working canter, Lengthening of strides, Collected canter, Medium canter and Extended canter. 4.1. Working canter. This is a pace between the Collected and the Medium canter, in which a horse’s training is not yet developed enough and ready for collected movements. The horse shows natural balance while remaining “on the bit”, and goes forward with even, light and active strides and good hock action. The expression “good hock action” underlines the importance of an impulsion originating from the activity of the hindquarters. 4.2. Lengthening of strides. In the test for four (4)yearold horses "lengthening of strides" is required. This is a variation between the Working and Medium canter in which a horse’s training is not developed enough for Medium canter. 4.3. Collected canter. The horse, remaining “on the bit”, moves forward with the neck raised and arched. The hocks, being wellengaged, maintain an energetic impulsion, enabling the shoulders to move with greater mobility thus demonstrating self carriage and an uphill tendency. The horse’s strides are shorter than in the other canters, without losing elasticity and cadence. 4.4. Medium canter. This is a pace between the Working and the Extended canter. Without hurrying, the horse goes forward with clearly lengthened strides and impulsion from the hindquarters. The athlete allows the horse to carry the head a little more in front of the vertical than in the Collected and Working canter, and at the same time allows the horse, to lower the head and neck slightly. The strides should be balanced and unconstrained.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

119

Annex 6

4.5. Extended canter. The horse covers as much ground as possible. Without hurrying, the strides are lengthened to the utmost. The horse remains calm, light and straight as a result of great impulsion from the hindquarters. The athlete allows the horse to lengthen the frame with a controlled poll and to gain ground. The whole movement should be well balanced and the transition to Collected canter should be smoothly executed by taking more weight on the hindquarters.

Dressage Definitions

4.6. Counter–canter. The Counter canter is a balancing and straightening movement that must be executed in collection. The horse canters in correct sequence with the outside foreleg leading with positioning to the side of the leading leg. The foreleg should be aligned to the same track as the hind leg. 4.7. Simple change of leg at the canter. This is a movement in which, after a direct transition out of the canter into a walk, with three (3) to five (5) clearly defined steps, an immediate transition is made into the other canter lead. 4.8. Flying change of leg. The flying change is performed in one (1) stride with the front and hind legs changing at the same moment. The change of the leading front and hind leg takes place during the moment of suspension. The aids should be precise and unobtrusive. Flying changes of leg can also be executed in series at every 4th, 3rd, 2nd or at every stride. The horse, even in the series, remains light, calm and straight with lively impulsion, maintaining the same rhythm and balance throughout the series concerned. In order not to restrict or restrain the lightness, fluency and groundcover of the flying changes in series, enough impulsion must be maintained. Aims of flying changes: To show the reaction, sensitivity and obedience of the horse to the aids for the change of leg.

Reinback

120

Reinback is a rearward diagonal movement with a two (2)beat rhythm but without a moment of suspension. Each diagonal pair of legs is raised and returned to the ground alternately, with the forelegs aligned on the same track as the hindlegs.

During the entire exercise, the horse should remain “on the bit”, maintaining its desire to move forward.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Anticipation or precipitation of the movement, resistance to or evasion of the contact, deviation of the hindquarters from the straight line, spreading or inactive hind legs and dragging forefeet are serious faults.

4. The steps are counted as each foreleg moves back. After completing the required number of steps backward, the horse should show a square halt or move forward in the required pace immediately. In tests where a Reinback of one (1) Horse’s length is required, it should be executed with three (3) or four (4) steps. Reinback series (Schaukel) is a combination of two (2) reinbacks with walk steps in between. It should be executed with ﬂuent transitions and the required number of steps.

Transitions The changes of pace and variations within the paces should be exactly performed at the prescribed marker. The cadence (except in walk) should be maintained up to the moment when the pace or movement is changed or the horse halts. The transitions within the paces must be clearly defined while maintaining the same rhythm and cadence throughout. The horse should remain light in hand, calm, and maintain a correct position. The same applies to transitions from one (1) movement to another, for instance from passage to piaffe or vice versa.

Dressage Definitions

Annex 6

Half Halts Every movement or transition should be invisibly prepared by barely perceptible half halts. The half halt is an almost simultaneous, coordinated action of the seat, the legs and the hands of the athlete, with the object of increasing the attention and balance of the horse before the execution of the movements or transitions to lower and higher paces. By shifting slightly more weight onto the Horse’s hindquarters, the engagement of the hind legs and the balance on the haunches are improved for the benefit of the lightness of the forehand and the horse’s balance as a whole. Changes of Directions 1.

At changes of direction, the horse should adjust the bend of his body to the curvature of the line it follows, remaining supple and following the indications of the athlete, without any resistance or change of pace, rhythm or speed.

2. Changes of directions can be executed in the following ways: a) Rightangled turn including riding through the corner (one 1 quarter of a volte of approx. six 6 metres). b) Short and long diagonal. c)

Half voltes and half circles with change of rein.

d) Half pirouettes and turn on the haunches. e) Serpentine loops. f)

Counterchanges of hand (in zigzag)*. The horse should be straight for a moment before changing direction. *Zigzag: A movement containing more than two (2) halfpasses with changes of direction.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

121

Annex 6

The Figures Transitions The ﬁgures asked in Dressage tests are the voltes, the serpentines and the ﬁgures of eight. Volte The volte is a circle of six (6), eight (8) or ten (10) metres in diameter. If larger than ten (10) metres it is a circle.

Dressage Definitions Serpentine The serpentine with several loops touching the long side of the arena consists of half circles connected by a straight line. When crossing the centreline, the horse should be parallel to the short side (a). Depending on the size of the half circles, the straight connection varies in length. Serpentines with one (1) loop on the long side of the arena are executed with ﬁve (5) metres or ten (10) metres distance from the track (b). Serpentines around the centre line are executed between the quarter lines (c).

Figure of eight This ﬁgure consists of two (2) voltes or circles of equal size as prescribed in the test, joined at the centre of the eight (8). The athlete should make his horse straight an instant before changing direction at the centre of the ﬁgure.

122

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Annex 6

The aim of leg yielding: To demonstrate the suppleness and lateral responsiveness of the horse.

Legyielding is performed in Working trot in FEI Competitions. The horse is almost straight, except for a slight ﬂexion at the poll away from the direction in which it moves, so that the Athlete is just able to see the eyebrow and nostril on the inside. The inside legs pass and cross in front of the outside legs.

Dressage Definitions

Leg Yielding

Legyielding should be included in the training of the horse before it is ready for Collected work. Later on, together with the more advanced shoulderin movement, it is the best means of making a horse supple, loose and unconstrained for the beneﬁt of the freedom, elasticity and regularity of its paces and the harmony, lightness and ease of its movements. Leg yielding can be performed “on the diagonal” in which case the horse should be as nearly as possible parallel to the long sides of the arena, although the forehand should be slightly in advance of the hindquarters. It can also be performed “along the wall” in which case the horse should be at an angle of about thirty ﬁve (35) degrees to the direction in which he is moving.

Lateral Movements 1.

The main aim of lateral movements – except legyielding is to develop and increase the engagement of the hindquarters and thereby also the collection.

In all lateral movements shoulderin, travers, renvers, and halfpass, the horse is slightly bent and moves on diﬀerent tracks.

3. The bend or ﬂexion must never be exaggerated so that it does not impair the rhythm, the balance and ﬂuency of the movement. 4.

In the lateral movements, the pace should remain free and regular, maintaining a constant impulsion, yet it must be supple, cadenced and balanced. The impulsion is often lost because of the athlete’s preoccupation with bending the horse and pushing it sideways.

Shoulderin. The shoulderin is performed in Collected trot. The horse is ridden with a slight but uniform bend around the inside leg of the athlete maintaining engagement and cadence and a constant angle of approx. thirty (30) degrees. The horse’s inside foreleg passes and crosses in front of the outside foreleg; the inside hind leg steps forward under the horse’s body weight following the same track of the outside foreleg, with the lowering of the inside hip. The horse is bent away from the direction in which it is moving.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

123

Annex 6

6. Travers. Travers can be performed in Collected trot or Collected canter. The horse is slightly bent round the inside leg of the athlete but with a greater degree of bend than in shoulderin. A constant angle of approximately thirty ﬁve (35) degrees should be shown (from the front and from behind one 1 sees four 4 tracks). The forehand remains on the track and the quarters are moved inwards. The horse’s outside legs pass and cross in front of the inside legs. The horse is bent in the direction in which it is moving.

Dressage Definitions

To start the travers, the quarters must leave the track or, after a corner or circle, are not brought back onto the track. At the end of the travers, the quarters are brought back on the track (without any counterflexion of the poll/neck) as one (1) would finish a circle. Aims of travers: To show a fluent Collected trot movement on a straight line and a correct bend. Front and hind legs are crossing, balance and cadence are maintained. 7.

Renvers. Renvers is the inverse movement in relation to travers. The hindquarters remain on the track while the forehand is moved inward. To ﬁnish the renvers the forehand is aligned with the quarters on the track. Otherwise, the same principles and conditions that apply to the travers are applicable to the renvers. The horse is slightly bent around the inside leg of the athlete. The horse’s outside legs pass and cross in front of the inside legs. The horse is bent in the direction in which it is moving. Aims of renvers: To show a ﬂuent Collected trot movement on a straight line with a greater degree of bend than in shoulderin. Fore and hind legs cross, balance and cadence are maintained.

8. Half pass. Halfpass is a variation of travers, executed on a diagonal line instead of along the wall. It can be performed in Collected trot (and in passage in a freestyle) or Collected canter. The horse should be slightly bent around the inside leg of the athlete and in the direction in which it is moving. The horse should maintain the same cadence and balance throughout the whole movement. In order to give more freedom and mobility to the shoulders, it is of great importance that the impulsion be maintained, especially the engagement of the inside hind leg. The horse’s body is nearly parallel to the long side of the arena with the forehand slightly in advance of the hindquarters. In the trot, the outside legs pass and cross in front of the inside legs. In the canter, the movement is performed in a series of forward/sideways strides. Aims of halfpass in trot: To show a ﬂuent collected trot movement on a diagonal line with a greater degree of bend than in shoulderin. Fore and hind legs cross, balance and cadence are maintained. Aims of the halfpass in canter: To both demonstrate and develop the collection and suppleness of the canter by moving ﬂuently forwards and sideways without any loss of rhythm, balance or softness and submission to the bend.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Annex 6 Dressage Definitions

The Pirouette, Half Pirouette and turn on the haunches 1.

The Pirouette (halfpirouette) is a turn of three hundred and sixty (360) degrees (hundred and eighty 180 degrees) executed on two (2) tracks, with a radius equal to the length of the horse and the forehand moving around the haunches.

Pirouettes (halfpirouettes) are usually carried out at Collected walk or canter, but can also be executed at piaﬀe.

At the pirouette (halfpirouette) the forefeet and the outside hind foot move around the inside hind foot. The inside hind leg describes a circle as small as possible.

4. At whatever pace the pirouette (halfpirouette) is executed, the horse, slightly bent in the direction in which it is turning, remains “on the bit” with light contact, turning smoothly around, and maintaining sequence and timing of footfalls of that pace. The poll remains the highest point during the entire movement. 5.

During the pirouettes (halfpirouettes), the horse should maintain its activity (walk also included) and never move backwards or sideways.

6. In executing the pirouette or the halfpirouette in canter, the athlete should maintain lightness of the horse while accentuating the collection. The horse’s hindquarters are well engaged and lowered and show a good ﬂexion of the joints. An integral part of the movement is the quality of the canter strides before and after the pirouette. The strides should show an increased activity and collection before the pirouette and the balance should be maintained at the end of the pirouette.

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

125

Annex 6

Aims of the pirouette and halfpirouette in canter: To demonstrate the willingness of the horse to turn around the inside hind leg on a small radius, slightly bent in the direction of the turn while maintaining the activity and the clarity of the canter, the straightness and the balance before and after the ﬁgure and clear canter strides during the turn. In the pirouette or halfpirouette in canter, the Judges should be able to recognize a real canter stride although the feet of the diagonal – inside hind leg, outside front leg – are not touching the ground simultaneously.

Dressage Definitions 7.

The quality of the pirouettes (halfpirouettes) is judged according to the suppleness, lightness and regularity, and the precision and smoothness of the entrance and exit. Pirouettes (halfpirouettes) in canter should be executed in six (6) to eight (8) strides – full pirouettes – and three to four (4) strides – halfpirouette.

Halfpirouettes in walk (180 degrees) are executed out of Collected walk with the collection being maintained throughout the exercise. When the horse exits the halfpirouette it returns to the initial track without crossing the hind legs.

9. Turn on the haunches from walk. For younger horses that are still not able to show Collected walk the “turn on the haunches” is an exercise to prepare the horse for collection. The “turn on the haunches” is executed out of Medium walk prepared by half halts to shorten the steps a little and to improve the ability to bend the joints of the hindquarters. The horse does not halt before or after the turn. The “turn on the haunches” can be executed on a larger radius (approx. ½m) than the pirouette in walk, but the demands of the training scale concerning rhythm, contact, activity and straightness are the same. 10. Turn on the haunches from halt to halt (180 degrees). To maintain the forward tendency of the movement one (1) or two (2) forward steps at the beginning of the turn are permitted. The same criteria apply as for the turn on the haunches from walk.

126

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Passage is a measured, very collected, elevated and cadenced trot. It is characterised by a pronounced engagement of the hindquarters, a more accentuated ﬂexion of the knees and hocks, and the graceful elasticity of the movement. Each diagonal pair of legs is raised and returned to the ground alternately, with cadence and a prolonged suspension.

In principle, the height of the toe of the raised forefoot should be level with the middle of the cannon bone of the other supporting foreleg. The toe of the raised hind foot should be slightly above the fetlock joint of the other supporting hind leg.

3. The neck should be raised and gracefully arched with the poll as the highest point and the nose line close to the vertical. The horse should remain light, and soft “on the bit” without altering the cadence. The impulsion remains lively and pronounced. 4.

Irregular steps with the hind or front legs, swinging the forehand or the hindquarters from one (1) side to the other, as well as jerky movements of the forelegs or the hind legs, dragging the hind legs or double beat in the moment of suspension are serious faults. The aim of passage is too demonstrate the highest degree of collection, cadence and suspension in the trot.

Dressage Definitions

Annex 6

Passage

Piaﬀe 1.

Piaffe is a highly collected, cadenced, elevated diagonal movement giving the impression of remaining in place. The horse’s back is supple and elastic. The hindquarters are lowered; the haunches with active hocks are well engaged, giving great freedom, lightness and mobility to the shoulders and forehand. Each diagonal pair of legs is raised and returned to the ground alternately, with spring and an even cadence. 1.1. In principle, the height of the toe of the raised forefoot should be level with the middle of the cannon bone of the other supporting foreleg. The toe of the raised hind foot should reach just above the fetlock joint of the other supporting hind leg. 1.2. The neck should be raised and gracefully arched, with the poll as the highest point. The horse should remain “on the bit” with a supple poll, maintaining soft contact. The body of the horse should move in a supple, cadenced and harmonious movement. 1.3. Piaffe must always be animated by a lively impulsion and characterised by perfect balance. While giving the impression of remaining in place, there may be a visible inclination to advance, this being displayed by the horse’s eager acceptance to move forward as soon as it is asked. 1.4. Moving even slightly backwards, irregular or jerky steps with the hind or front legs, no clear diagonal steps, crossing either the fore or hind legs, or swinging either the forehand or the hindquarters from one (1) side to the other, getting wide behind or in front, moving too much forward or doublebeat rhythm are all serious faults. The aim of piaffe is to demonstrate the highest degree of collection while giving the impression of remaining in place.

Impulsion and Submission 1.

Impulsion is the term used to describe the transmission of an eager and energetic, yet controlled, propulsive energy generated from the hind quarters into the athletic movement of the horse. Its ultimate expression can be shown only through the horse's soft and swinging back guided by gentle contact with the athlete's hand. BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

127

Annex 6

1.1. Speed, of itself, has little to do with impulsion; the result is more often a ﬂattening of the paces. A visible characteristic is a more pronounced articulation of the hind leg, in a continuous rather than staccato action. The hock, as the hind foot leaves the ground, should ﬁrst move forward rather than being pulled upwards, but certainly not backwards. A prime ingredient of impulsion is the time the horse spends in the air rather than on the ground. Impulsion is, therefore, seen only in those paces that have a period of suspension.

Dressage Definitions

1.2. Impulsion is a precondition for a good collection in trot and canter. If there is no impulsion, then there is nothing to collect. 2. Submission does not mean subordination, but an obedience revealing its presence by a constant attention, willingness and confidence in the whole behaviour of the horse as well as by the harmony, lightness and ease it is displaying in the execution of the different movements. The degree of the submission is also demonstrated by the way the horse accepts the bit, with light and soft contact and a supple poll. Resistance to or evasion of the athlete’s hand, being either “above the bit” or “behind the bit” demonstrate lack of submission. The main contact with the horse’s mouth must be through the snaffle bit. 2.1. Putting out the tongue, keeping it above the bit or drawing it up altogether, as well as grinding the teeth or agitation of the tail, are mostly signs of nervousness, tension or resistance on the part of the horse and must be taken into account by the Judges in their marks for every movement concerned, as well as in the collective mark for “submission”. 2.2. The first thought when considering submission is willingness, that the horse understands what is being asked of it and is confident enough in the athlete to react to the aids without fear or tension. 2.3. The horse’s straightness, uphill tendency and balance enable it to stay in front of the athlete’s legs and go forward into an accepting and selfcarrying contact with the bit. This is what really produces the picture of harmony and lightness. The fulfilling of the main requirements/movements of a Dressage test is the main criterion for submission. Collection The aim of the collection of the horse is: a) To further develop and improve the balance and equilibrium of the horse, which has been more or less displaced by the additional weight of the athlete. b) To develop and increase the horse's ability to lower and engage its hindquarters for the benefit of the lightness and mobility of its forehand. c)

To add to the “ease and carriage” of the horse and to make it more pleasurable to ride. Collection is developed through the use of halfhalts and the use of lateral movements shoulderin, travers, renvers and half pass. Collection is improved and achieved by the use of the seat and legs and containing hands to engage the hind legs. The joints bend and are supple so that the hind legs can step forward under the horse’s body. However, the hind legs should not be engaged so far forward under the horse, that they shorten the base of support excessively, thereby impeding the movement. In such a case, the line of the back would be lengthened and raised too much in relation to the supporting base of the legs, the stability would be impaired and the horse would have diﬃculty in ﬁnding a harmonious and correct balance.

128

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Dressage Definitions

The position of the head and neck of a horse at the collected paces is naturally dependent on the stage of training and, to some degree, on its conformation. It is distinguished by the neck being raised without restraint, forming a harmonious curve from the withers to the poll, which is the highest point, with the nose slightly in front of the vertical. At the moment the athlete applies his aids to obtain a momentary and passing collecting eﬀect, the head may become more or less vertical. The arch of the neck is directly related to the degree of collection.

Annex 6

On the other hand, a horse with an overlong base of support, which is unable or unwilling to engage its hind legs forward under its body, will never achieve acceptable collection, characterised by “ease and carriage” as well as a lively impulsion originating from the activity of the hindquarters.

The Position and aids of the athlete 1.

All the movements should be obtained with imperceptible aids and without apparent eﬀort of the athlete. The athlete should be wellbalanced, elastic, sitting deep in the centre of the saddle, smoothly absorbing the movement of the horse with his loins and hips, supple thighs with the legs steady and stretched well down. The heels should be the lowest point. The upper part of the body should be tall and supple. The contact should be independent from the athlete’s seat. The hands should be carried steadily close together, with the thumb as the highest point and a straight line from the supple elbow through the hand to the horse’s mouth. The elbows should be close to the body. All of these criteria enable the athlete to follow the movements of the horse smoothly and freely.

2. The eﬀectiveness of the athlete’s aids determines the precise fulﬁlment of the required movements of the tests. There shall always be the impression of a harmonious co operation between horse and athlete. 3.

Riding with both hands is obligatory at FEI Dressage Events. When leaving the arena at a walk on long rein, after having ﬁnished the test the athlete may, at his own discretion, ride with only one (1) hand. For Freestyle tests, see also Directives for Judges – Freestyle tests and Directives for assessing the degree of diﬃculty in a Freestyle test available at www.fei.org.

The use of the voice or clicking the tongue repeatedly is a serious fault.

Nominated Welfare Oﬃcer

Annex 7

BD appoints its Regional Development Oﬃcers and BYRDS Regional Representatives as Nominated Welfare Oﬃcers (NWO) at regional training sessions, camps and competitions.

Child Protection and Equal Opportunities

At Under 21 National and Squad sessions, Selectors will take on this role unless a Chef d’Equipe is present. There will also be NWO’s at U25 events including the BYRDS InterRegional Squad competition, BYRDS Home International and the U25 Championships (Sheepgate). The role of the Nominated Welfare Oﬃcer is: •

Adopt and promote the BEF and BD’s Safeguarding Policy

•

Be the ﬁrst point of contact at the event or training session for volunteers, young people or parents for any issue concerning safeguarding, child protection or welfare, poor practice or potential/alleged abuse

•

Follow the procedures laid out in the BEF Safeguarding Equestrian Sport Policy for recording and reporting information

Report any allegations or complaints to BD’s Lead Welfare Oﬃcer

•

Ensure conﬁdentiality is maintained and information is only shared on a ‘need to know’ basis.

•

Have access to contact details for Children’s Services, the Police and LWO. Where appropriate this information should be established with the assistance of the event organiser before the aﬃliated event.

It is not the role of the NWO to be a Child Protection expert or to determine whether or not abuse has taken place; their role is to record the details and seek guidance if necessary. Code of Conduct To ensure that all forms of abuse are prevented and to help protect people who work with children and young riders, the following guidelines must be followed by all staﬀ, oﬃcials, members and volunteers:

132

•

Always work in an open environment (e.g. avoid situations where you and an individual child are completely unobserved);

•

Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all competitors and treat everyone with equality;

•

Ensure the welfare of each child in the context of winning or achieving goals;

•

Always promote the positive aspects of equestrianism and never condone rule violations or the use of prohibited substances;

•

Ensure that if any form of manual/physical support is required, it should be provided openly. Children should always be consulted and their agreement gained. Some parents are becoming increasingly sensitive about manual support and their views should always be carefully considered;

•

Recognise the developmental needs and capacity of children – avoid excessive training or competition and do not push them against their will.

•

Secure written parental consent if there is any event where the children will be unsupervised. If the need arises to administer emergency ﬁrst aid and/or other medical treatment, keep a written record of any injury that occurs, along with the details of any treatment given.

Avoid spending excessive amounts of time alone with children away from others;

•

Avoid taking or droping oﬀ a child to an event unless there are 2 adults present;

•

Allow allegations made by a child to go unchallenged, unrecorded or not acted upon;

•

Do not do things of a personal nature for children or disabled adults that they can do for themselves.

Note: It may sometimes be necessary for adults to do things of a personal nature for children particularly if they are young or are disabled. These tasks should only be carried out with the full understanding and consent of parents/carers. If a person is fully dependent on you, talk with him/her about what you are doing and give choices where possible; Oﬃcials, competitors and volunteers should never: •

Engage in rough, physical or sexually provocative games;

•

Allow or engage in any form of inappropriate touching;

•

Allow children to use inappropriate language unchallenged;

•

Make sexually suggestive comments to a child, even in fun.

•

Do not invite or allow children to stay with you at your home unsupervised.

If any of the following occur you should report this immediately to another colleague and record the incident. You should also ensure the parents of the child are informed: •

If you accidentally hurt a child or young person;

•

If he/she seems distressed in any manner;

•

If a child misunderstands or misinterprets something you have done.

Child Protection and Equal Opportunities

•

Annex 7

The following should be avoided except in emergencies. If cases arise where these situations are unavoidable it should be with the full knowledge and consent of someone in charge at an event or the child’s parents. For example, if a child sustains an injury and needs to go to hospital or a parent fails to arrive to pick a child up at the end of an event:

Use of photographic/filming equipment at competitions/events Whilst it is not intended to ban photography at events, organisers and officials must ensure that proper safeguards are in place and adhered to. There is a potential risk posed to young children through the use of photographs on websites and in publications. There is evidence that shows that photographs have been used to identify children that could place them at risk from those who wish to groom children for abuse and used or adapted and placed on child pornography sites. Therefore organisers of affiliated dressage events/training sessions/camps where riders under the age of 18 yrs are attending, need to ensure that they follow the guidelines below. Professional/official photographers/filming/video operators must: •

Be given a clear brief

•

Gain accreditation in advance of the event

•

Wear identiﬁcation at all times

•

Not be given unsupervised access to competitors under the age of 18 yrs

•

Not be allowed to take photographs outside the event (i.e. at a child’s home)

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

Annex 7

Any other spectators (e.g. parents/guardians/spectators) wishing to take photographs which feature and clearly identify children i.e. close ups, teams etc. must register their name and address with the secretary of the event and/or wear identiﬁcation.

Child Protection and Equal Opportunities

Permission/photography consent forms must be obtained from the child’s parents/guardians before photographs are taken and the images used. These forms are available on the British Dressage website – Safeguarding & Child Protection. A notice confirming who the official photographer of the event is and that permission for photographs to be taken/used must be gained from all U18’s parent/guardians, should be clearly displayed in the secretary’s office or in a prominent position or in the event programme. All event officials and volunteers should be vigilant and any concerns should be reported to the organiser of the event who should then forward this information to BD Lead Welfare Officer. Use of photographic/filming equipment by Coaches/Trainers There is no intention to prevent coaches and trainers using video equipment as a legitimate coaching aid. However, riders and their parents/carers should be made aware that this is part of the coaching programme and such films should be: •

stored securely;

•

used only by the trainer/coach for training purposes;

•

destroyed when the ﬁlm is of no more value for training purposes or when requested to do so by the parent or carer.

Equity and Equal Opportunities •

British Dressage is fully committed to the principles of equality of opportunity and aims to ensure that all people, irrespective of ability, race, gender, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, social or political status have equal opportunities to take part in dressage at any level and in any role;

•

seeks to educate and guide British Dressage members, their employees and volunteers on the ownership, adoption and implementation of its equity plan;

•

intends to raise awareness of Equity through the implementation of this policy and the adoption of an Equity Action Plan; and, as a result of this process;

•

aims to monitor, review and evaluate progress in achieving the stated aims and objectives and to feed back to the BEF and member bodies on progress made.

British Dressage will ensure that its recruitment and selection procedures for volunteers, staﬀ and oﬃcials are fair and transparent, and meet the appropriate legal requirements.

ANNEX 8 Music Licence

Music Licence

Dressage to Music – PPL Licence requirements The Licence that BD have negotiated with PPL enables our members to use, according to the terms of the Licence, PPL repertoire music in affiliated Dressage to Music Competitions. However members can also use non PPL music. BD Members wishing to take part in Affiliated DTM classes must read the Licence Agreement and then read and sign the Sub Licence Agreement which is attached to it. The SubLicence Agreement must then be sent to BD as soon as possible. As well as the SubLicence Agreement members will also be required to forward a copy of the “Music Licence Record Form”. This form records the nature and length of tracks that are on the members CD/minidisc. You can check if your music is PPL or not by looking on the PPL repertoire list. To obtain a PPL repertoire please phone or email the Music Membership Officer at BD. If the source of the music is not shown on the PPL list, it should be assumed that it is non PPL and a note should be put on the music licence record form stating this. If the label name cannot be found, a note stating that it has not been possible to source the music should be shown on the music licence record. The label name that appears on the PLL repertoire list needs to be cross referenced with the label name that appears on your disc. PPL will not appear on the disc anywhere. There are always numerous pieces of information contained on a CD inlay card such as label, music publishing company, distributor etc. The label releasing the album can usually be found on either the spine of the CD or on the back cover near a P in a circle. Once you have returned your completed forms you will be sent selfadhesive labels which should be applied to the case containing the CD you will use at competitions, this is a PPL licence requirement.

JUDGES & OFFICIALS PANEL SECTION 1 Judges Guidelines and Code of Conduct

Judges Guidelines and Code of Conduct List 4 Judges

Code of Conduct for Judges Judges exercise exceptional authority, which in turn requires them to assume exceptional responsibilities. Their overall effectiveness depends, not only on their technical competence and knowledge of the rules, but also on their maturity of judgment, selfcontrol, flexibility and basic fairness and integrity. Beyond this, all Judges must be scrupulously careful to guard against any appearance or actuality of conflict of interest. In all questionable cases it is always wiser to acknowledge a possible source of a conflict and stand aside rather than permit suspicions to gain strength. This code of conduct applies to British Dressage Judges at all times when attending or judging at competitions. It should be considered in conjunction with the current British Dressage Rule Book. 1.

Judges should act with integrity and always put the sport and the horse’s welfare ﬁrst.

Judges should be: (i) Honest and Open (ii) Respectful to riders at all times (iii) Objective, fair and unbiased (iv) Supportive and encouraging

Judges should always conduct themselves in a professional and appropriate manner when acting in any oﬃcial capacity.

4. When at a show or acting in any oﬃcial capacity Judges should be considerate and respectful to other Judges, competitors and show oﬃcials. 5.

A Judge should not conduct themselves in a manner detrimental to the character of and/or which may be prejudicial to the interests of British Dressage.

While officiating at, or attending any British Dressage event it is inappropriate to drink alcohol or be under the influence of any medication or substance which may affect judgment or conduct.

Judges should not solicit organisers for future invitations.

Opinion and comments on any of the combinations judged should be heard only by the writer and / or any person invited to sitin i.e. someone who is shadow judging, and shared only with the competitor in question. Care should be taken not to discuss particular tests with anyone else.

9. Judges should not disclose or discuss any details of any combinations judged on social media sites such as forums, Facebook, twitter, or other websites. 10. Be discreet and loyal to fellow Judges at all times. 11. Judges must observe the Judging restrictions as per the BD Rule Book. 12. Conﬂicts of interest are not permitted at Regional/Winter/Summer Championships unless an exemption is granted in an exception circumstance.

148 164

BRITISH DRESSAGE - MEMBERS HANDBOOK 2015

This is calculated by the number of horses that are on the published times for the class. At all shows when a jury is used, organisers have the option to pay a ﬂat fee to the equivalent of €120 per day or on a per horse basis to each jury member. In order to receive a payment a judge must submit a minimum of a simple invoice to the organiser. An organiser has the right to refuse payment should the judge not submit an invoice. A judge may continue to judge on a voluntary basis and should declare this when responding to an invitation. The current mileage rate is 0.45p per mile. This is paid in addition to the above payment. Any other fees or other charges are by prior agreement with the Organiser and the Judge is responsible for any tax implications.

Procedural guidelines for judges 1. Reply promptly to judging invitations. 2.

Ensure that you know the appropriate test and rules.

Dress smartly and in accordance with the status of the event. Do not wear advertising clothing (i.e. jackets, sweatshirts with company logos or branding).

Arrive in plenty of time.

Inspect the arena, checking the going and the positioning of the letters.

Be courteous to your writer. Explain how you will give your marks and comments. Warn your writer of any tricky parts of the test.

Do not allow competitors or their connections involved in the class to sit in.

Keep to time.

Judges Guidelines and Code of Conduct

Payment of Judges The minimum payment a judge will be paid for judging is; • Intro to Advanced £1 per horse/per judge (including FEI Pony & Junior tests) • PSG to GP £2 per horse/per judge (inc FEI Young Rider tests)

Section 1

13. Judges should be aware of the BD Safeguarding policy and should not engage with individuals under the age of 18 years without an appropriate adult present.

9. Check the scoreboard and the results before leaving the show. If you are unsure of the accuracy of the scorers, have the result checked. 10. If judging as a member of a panel, be prepared to discuss the judging afterwards in private. 11. If you are not able to fulﬁl a judging commitment it is up to you to discuss with the organiser to jointly ﬁnd a suitable replacement i.e. a Judge of the correct list for class to be judged and one who lives a similar distance to venue. 12. Every eventuality cannot be provided for. In any unforeseen or exceptional circumstance, it is the duty of the Ground Jury to make a decision in a sporting spirit.

Accredited & Recognised Coaches

BD is passionately committed to providing opportunities for coaches to develop, increase their skills and excel wherever or whoever they are coaching. By encouraging the development of skilled, knowledgeable and up to date coaches we can give riders the best support to enjoy their dressage and reach their own personal goals. Choosing a coach is individual to each rider, but we hope the information below will help you ﬁnd a coach that is right for you.

ACCREDITED COACHES BD Accredited Coaches have a UKCC Level 3 dressage qualification and were assessed by BD assessors. They have shown a good knowledge of modern coaching skills and sound technical knowledge of dressage up to and including Advanced Medium level. They have an up to date first aid qualification, have attended a child protection course and have appropriate insurance. They are required to keep their skills up to date with training every year. Accredited Coach status may also be granted to a very experienced coach who is a member of the International Dressage Trainers Club and has trained at least one combination to international small tour level. They will also have an up to date first aid qualification, have attended a child protection course and have appropriate insurance.
