At temperatures above 85°F, a heat index above 85°C or at the discretion of the floor judge or organizer, participants in the preliminary, intermediate and advanced levels may compete without a jacket in the dressage and/or show jumping competition. In such cases, participants must wear a conservatively coloured long-sleeved or short-sleeved shirt without a collar; Members of the armed forces and police units are allowed to drive in their summer uniforms. In case of bad weather, participants can wear a windbreaker or raincoat over their clothing. Your number must be visible. 1. In all circumstances not expressly covered by these Regulations, the “FEI Rules for Dressage Events” shall apply. In addition to Appendix A, an update to the dressage outfit and equipment booklet was also published. The purpose of this brochure is to assist exhibitors as well as USEF technical dressage delegates and dressage judges who conduct dressage courses at any competition authorized by the association. Illustrations in the Dressage and Equipment booklet have been provided to indicate what makes a particular piece of equipment or clothing permitted or prohibited in Federation dressage courses. 3.
The dressage competitions to be applied annually are set out in Appendix 2. From these tests, organizers can choose the specific tests to use for their competition. The test to be used must be printed in the contest prize list. If you have followed our series of rule reminders, you have read the article on the dressage test and evaluation for the dressage phase. But wouldn`t it be nice if we gathered all the rules you need to know for the dressage phase, including dress and equipment rules, in one place? That`s what we thought too! The complete USEF dressage rules can be found on the USEF website here. The Rules and Equipment section of the USEF dressage website is the official place to post updates on DR121 regarding legal or illegal parts and equipment for dressage competitions based on FEI decisions and submissions for approval to the USEF Dressage Division. In addition, participants are reminded to regularly review Appendix A throughout the competition year for updates on items and equipment. One. The good marks from 0 to 10 awarded by each judge to a participant for each numbered movement of the dressage competition as well as the collective marks are added together, deducting any errors in the course or event. 17. The judge in Case C may interrupt an examination and/or allow a participant to resume an examination from the beginning or at an appropriate time of the examination if, in his or her discretion, an unusual circumstance occurred that interrupted an examination.
3. The centre line and points along the centre axis, if described in the test to be used, shall be clearly marked without frightening horses. For this reason, it is recommended: mow the center line on a shorter grass field, or roll or rake the center line on a sand arena. Points D, L, X, I and G must be mowed, rolled or raked in the same manner, approximately 2 metres (6 ft 6 in.) to the right above the centre line. One. Disposal is at the discretion of the ground jury in the following cases: 2. The letters should be placed on the outside of the case, approximately 50 cm (20 inches) from the fence. The letter A must be sufficiently far from the entrance to allow unimpeded access. It is desirable to apply a special mark on the fence itself, identical and in addition to the letter in question. Spores with rows are allowed in all three tests and during training/warm-up. When used, the rows must be able to rotate freely and the rows must be round and smooth (no teeth allowed). 1.
The inscription is accompanied by a letter on letterhead signed by the horse`s veterinarian indicating that the horse has been diagnosed with shaking its head and that its condition improves with the use of a nasal mesh.2. The nasal fillet should be made of transparent material and cover only the upper half of the muzzle, not the horse`s teeth or mouth. 4. If there is only one judge, he or she shall be placed 5 metres (16 feet) from the end of the arena in front of the letter C. If two judges are appointed, one (the president) is placed at C and the other is placed 5 meters from the side of the arena, opposite the letter E or B. If three judges are used, one (the president) is placed at C, another (M or H) is placed at the end of the arena in line with the judge at C, left or right, 2.5 meters from the long side of the arena, and the third judge is placed 5 meters from the side of the arena. opposite E or B. A separate enclosure (tent, trailer) should be provided for each referee, which should be raised at least 0.5 metres (20 inches) above the ground to give the judge a good view of the arena. 13. In principle, a participant cannot repeat a movement of the examination unless, of course, the judge of C decides on an error and rings the bell.
If the participant has started to perform a movement and tries to re-execute the same movement, the judges only have to take into account the first movement shown, and at the same time, of course, punish a mistake. One. The judges give good marks from 0 to 10 for each movement and for each collective score, with 0 being the lowest and 10 the highest. All half-notes from 0.5 to 9.5 may be used for both movements and collectible stamps at the discretion of the judge, and the notes indicated must be recorded to decimal places (e.g. 6.0 instead of 6). US Equestrian (USEF) has issued an update to Appendix A, an addendum to DR121 of the USEF Dressage Rules, effective immediately. Appendix A can be found on the USEF website under Dressage “Rules and Equipment” in forms and publications. b. For each judge, the percentage of maximum achievable good marks is then calculated by dividing the total of the good marks obtained (minus a course or exam error) by the maximum achievable good marks, then multiplying by 100 and rounding the result to two decimal places.
This value is displayed as a single score for that judge. 9. A horse that leaves the arena completely with all four feet between the moment of entry and the last salute will be eliminated. 1. The purpose of dressage is the harmonious development of the horse`s physique and abilities. This makes the horse calm, flexible, loose and flexible, but also confident, attentive and insightful, thus achieving a perfect understanding with its rider. g. Any type of boots or leg ties is prohibited in the areas around and inside the arena. Shoes and/or bandages must be removed before entering the space around the competition arena, otherwise the athlete will be punished.
See EV136.c. d. To convert the percentage into penalty points, the percentage if there is only one judge, or the average percentage if there is more than one judge, must be subtracted from 100. The result, rounded to one decimal place, is the penalty point score for the test. c. If there is more than one judge, the average percentage for the participant is obtained by adding the percentage for each judge and dividing it by the number of judges, always rounding the result to two decimal places. Questions regarding Appendix A and DR121 dressage should be directed to Lauren Moore, Director of Sport Management Administration, or [email protected]. A whisk no larger than 120 cm (47.2 inches), including eyelashes, can be worn at all times when riding on the flat.
A whip not exceeding 120 cm (47.2 inches) may be worn during dressage competition, except in the USEF/USEA Championships and USEA Championships divisions.
