Br i t ish Dr ess a g e M e m be rs Hand Book incorporating the 2017 rules and judges and officials panel Effective from 1 December 2016 BD P0 Rule Book 2017 Contents & Intro_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:28 Page 1 Mission Statement British Dressage aims to be the most respected and successful organisation for people passionate about dressage. The object of dressage is the development of the horse into a happy athlete through harmonious education. As a result horses become calm, supple, loose and flexible, but also confident, attentive and keen, thus achieving perfect understanding between athletes. 3 BD P0 Rule Book 2017 Contents & Intro_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:28 Page 2 Chairmans Address Dear Member, It’s a privilege to be serving British Dressage for a second term as Chair, especially as our sport is going from strength to strength. I write this on the back of a fantastic Olympics in Rio where Britain once again came home in the medals, securing team Silver against a challenging field of competitors from around the world. Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro made Olympic history to gain individual Gold in the Freestyle, with Charlotte becoming the first British woman to successfully defend an Olympic title. We are immensely proud of these outstanding achievements. I hope that existing members have enjoyed the development of Quest Club with the introduction of My Quest and/or the additional opportunities provided in our competition structure such as the Associated Championships, which have proved particularly popular this year with over a thousand riders qualified. Please find enclosed the refinements to the rules, having completed a competition cycle and listened to your feedback. We really appreciate that many of you took the time to provide balanced and constructive feedback with practical suggestions for improvements. New sponsorship and business partnerships have helped us improve our services to members, such as the Market Place, and I hope that you are pleased with our new clothing and accessory range. In 2017, we’ll be collaborating with the British Equestrian Federation to refine our talent pathways. Regarding our youth, we are delighted that our BYRDS membership continues to grow. We value all of our stakeholders and in particular, we are in the process of concluding our volunteer strategy. If you are new to British Dressage, then a huge welcome! If you have been a loyal member for some time, then THANK YOU for your continued support. We hope everyone enjoys being part of the growing BD family next year. Best wishes, Penny Pollard BD Chairman 4 BD P0 Rule Book 2017 Contents & Intro_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:28 Page 3 In all respects the welfare of the horse is paramount. See Annex 1.

Telephone: 02476698830 Email: [email protected] Website: www.britishdressage.co.uk BD Competitions BD Affiliated Dressage Competitions are those allocated by BD and held under the rules contained in this book. BD Rules These Rules are intended principally for use in connection with National Dressage Competitions, relating to all competitions affiliated to BD. However, the rules do not only relate to National Competitions; some rules, particularly with regard to conduct and discipline, are effective at all times and in any circumstance with regard to BD members. Every eventuality cannot be provided for in these Rules. In any unforeseen or exceptional circumstances, the relevant officials have a duty to make a decision in a sporting spirit, approaching as near as possible the intention of these Rules and to protect the reputation of the sport of dressage in the UK and the welfare of the horse. Matters that cannot be resolved by interpreting the rules to the letter should be resolved by following the spirit of the text to obtain a solution that is fairest to all members. Amendments or changes to the rules in this book may be published in the ‘British Dressage Magazine’ (which is published eight times per year) and on the BD website. Failure to comply with any published rule changes will be considered a breach of these Rules. Only queries relating to this rule book that are submitted and answered in writing by an authorised member of staff will be binding on BD. 5 Memebers Infomation Horse Welfare BD P0 Rule Book 2017 Contents & Intro_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:28 Page 4 Contents CONTENTS PAge Mission Statement 3 Members Info 5 Chairman’s address 4 Contents 6-7 Members Code of Conduct 8-9 Social Media Policy 10-11 The BD Regions 12 BD Contacts BD Rule Section 1 13-14 Membership & Horse Registration 16-21 eligibility for competitions 26-35 Section 2 Rider grouping and grading of Horses Section 4 entries & Competitions Section 6 Area Festivals Section 3 Section 5 Section 7 Section 8 Section 9 Section 10 Section 11 Section 12 Regionals and Championship Qualification Music Championships Young Horse Championships Team Competitions Associated Championships Team Quest My Quest Rules for Para equestrian Section 15 Riding the test including penalties Section 17 Combined Training Section 16 AnnexeS Annex 1 Annex 2 36-41 42-47 48-51 52-53 54-57 58-65 66-71 72-77 78-81 Section 13 Section 14 22-25 Competitor Dress and Saddlery Judges 82-87 88-99 100-111 112-114 115-117 Welfare of the Horse British Dressage tests in use 6 118-123 124-125 BD P0 Rule Book 2017 Contents & Intro_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:28 Page 5 Contents Annex 3 Judges Code of Conduct 126 Discipline Procedure 132-137 Annex 7 equine and Human Anti-Doping 140-141 Annex 9 Child Protection and equal Opportunities Annex 4 Annex 5 Annex 6 Annex 8 Annex 10 Annex 11 Annex 12 Annex 13 Member Conduct and Complaints against Members and Judges Feedback Policy for Members Dressage Definitions Music licence Section 2 160-165 166 British Dressage Members Insurance 170-173 169 Judges guidelines 174 list 2A 178 list 1 175-177 180-182 list 3A 183-184 list 3 185-187 list 4 189-195 list 5 197-205 list 6 206-213 FeI Judges 214-215 Young Horse Judges 216-218 BYRDS Rider Test Judges 222-224 Para equestrian Judges Section 4 142-159 167-168 list 2 Section 3 138-139 Specific rules relating to World Class & FeI Competitions British Dressage Members legal Help line JuDgeS & OFFICIAlS PAnel Section 1 127-131 219-220 Stewards and Para equestrian Stewards Accredited and Recognised Coaches Index 226-230 231-241 242-243 notes 244-246 7 BD P0 Rule Book 2017 Contents & Intro_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:28 Page 6 Code of Conduct Members Code of Conduct The Disciplinary Panel and Judges Complaints Panel of British Dressage are appointed by the Board to consider complaints of misconduct or breaches of these Rules or Codes of Conduct by Members and Judges and if necessary to impose appropriate penalties.

However, if the owner wishes to change the registered name to match the name on its passport, this can be changed free of charge. 19 Membership & Horse Registration 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. Section 1 if a horse’s registration has lapsed for more than one month, any points or qualifications gained since lapsing will not be allocated. BD P1 S1 – Membership & Horse Registration_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:29 Page 5 Section 1 • Membership & Horse Registration • • • 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 four years old. Horses competing at PSG level and above must be at least seven years old. Horses competing at Grand Prix must be at least eight 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. Ponies are not required to obtain Fei Height certificates for their Fei Passports. 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. 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. 20 BD P1 S1 – Membership & Horse Registration_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:29 Page 6 BD P1 S2 – Grading of Riders and Horses_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:29 Page 1 Section 2 SECtIoN 2 Grading of Riders and Horses Grading of Riders and Horses 11. Grouping of riders Riders are placed in the following groups in relation to the highest level that they have ever competed at. A member’s rider group does not affect their eligibility to compete. For the purpose of calculating rider groups all results on a member’s record are taken into account. Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 Group 5 Group 6 Group 7 Group 8 Riders who have competed at a CDI (Small, Medium or Big tour) Riders who have gained points at Inter II, Inter A or B, U25GP or Grand Prix in national BD competitions and riders who have competed in the National or Winter championships (excluding music) at PSG level or above in Gold sections (or previous open sections) Riders who have gained points at PSG or Inter I level in National BD competitions (including FEI YR classes nationally or in a CDIYR) except as described above for group 2 Riders who have gained points at Advanced Medium level (including FEI Junior classes nationally or in a CDIJ) Riders who have gained points at Medium level (including FEI Pony classes nationally or in a CDIP) Riders who have gained points at Elementary level Riders who have gained points at Novice level Riders who have gained points at Preliminary level or have not gained any points 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 CDI (Small, Medium or Big tour). 12. Riders registered with British Eventing or holding a BHS qualification Any rider who has competed at BE advanced (3* or 4*) horse trials in the current or preceding ten years may not be below a Group 4 rider. A member will be allocated 15 points at Prelim to Medium and one point at Advanced Medium. A rider who has competed at BE intermediate (or 2*) horse trials in the current or preceding ten years may not be below Group 5. A member will be allocated 15 points at Prelim to Elementary and one point at Medium. those with a BHSI or FBHS qualification will be no lower than Group 4 upon registration. A member will be allocated 15 points at Prelim to Medium and one point at Advanced Medium. 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 4 upon registration and will be given rider points accordingly unless evidence of a competition record can be provided, in which case BD will adjust the rider group accordingly. 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 Ireland are considered to be foreign. 22 BD P1 S2 – Grading of Riders and Horses_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:29 Page 2 14. Grading points Horses competing in British Dressage competitions from Preliminary to Grand Prix will be awarded points based on the below scale. Points will not be awarded for Introductory classes. Points are awarded in accordance with the percentage achieved in the competition. 60.00 – 61.99% 62.00 – 63.99% 64.00 – 65.99% 66.00 – 67.99% 68.00 – 69.99% 70.00 – 71.99% 72.00 – 73.99% 74.00 – 75.99% 76.00 – 77.99% 78.00 – 79.99% 80.00 % and above 1 point 2 points 3 points 4 points 5 points 6 points 7 points 8 points 9 points 10 points 11 points Points are not awarded for Introductory, Para-Equestrian, Music classes, Young Horse classes or team Quest Competitions. For My Quest classes “Quest points” will be allocated to the same scale as all other classes. Quest points are for qualification/ranking purposes within Quest competitions only and do not count towards the upgrading of a horse. Points are allocated to each registered horse and rider by reference to each level of competition from Preliminary to Grand Prix, and not as an overall total. the number of points accumulated at each competition level will count towards the horse or riders eligibility for future competitions, in accordance with Section 3 and other relevant Rules. the competition records of all registered horses are maintained on a central database and published on the BD website. Horses competing in CDI competitions from PSG to Grand Prix and CDI YJP, will be awarded points based on the below scale. Points are awarded against the percentage achieved in the competition. 60.00 – 61.99% 62.00 – 63.99% 64.00 – 65.99% 66.00 – 67.99% 68.00 – 69.99% 70.00 – 71.99% 72.00 – 73.99% 74.00 – 75.99% 76.00 – 77.99% 78.00 – 79.99% 80.00 % and above 1 point 2 points 4 points 6 points 8 points 10 points 12 points 14 points 16 points 18 points 20 points 23 Grading of Riders and Horses Foreign riders competing at all other levels except Grand Prix at the National Championships may be awarded first place sashes, rosettes and prize money. Section 2 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. BD P1 S2 – Grading of Riders and Horses_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:29 Page 3 Section 2 Queries relating to published results can only be dealt with in writing and within twelve months of the relevant competition. Grading of Riders and Horses A horse that has competed at BE advanced (3* or 4*) horse trials in the current or preceding ten years will be allocated 15 points at Prelim to Elementary and one point at Medium. A horse that has competed at BE intermediate (or 2*) horse trials in the current or preceding ten will be allocated 15 points at Prelim to Novice and one point at Elementary. 15. 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 awarded to the horse in accordance with its level of ability. For the purpose of registration, horses foaled in Ireland 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 unless it has competed at Intermediate or Advanced level. In this instance the points as per rule 14 will be applied. Newly imported horses without competition records will be automatically allocated 15 points at each level according to their age at the time of registration to the scale given in the table below, unless proof of import at an earlier age can be supplied. 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. Age at Import 4 year old 5 year old 6 year old 7 year old 8 year old 9 year old Points 0 points 15 Prelim and 15 novice points 15 elementary points 15 medium points 15 advanced medium points 15 PSG points 16. Assessment of imported horses and reallocation of points If the owner is unable to provide a competition record or evidence of importation, they may choose to have the horse’s level of training assessed, this must be done between the time the horse is first registered and the first competition entry. owners must contact the BD office to make an appointment for the horse to be assessed. the cost of assessment is £75. Assessors are not to assess horses that are known to them, e.g. horses the assessor has previously seen in training or a purchasing/selling context. 17. Grading of horses competing in national competitions 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. 24 BD P1 S2 – Grading of Riders and Horses_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:29 Page 4 BD P1 S3 – Eligibility to Compete_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:30 Page 1 SECtion 3 Section 3 Eligibility to Compete Eligibility to Compete 18. Levels and classes of competition At each British Dressage Competition there will be a range of classes which require different standards of ability of horse and rider. there is a progressive series of tests which are tailored to the horse’s level of training. it starts with introductory which is of walk trot level and culminates with Grand Prix, which has the highest degree of difficulty. the full list of current tests in use can be found in annex 2 of this book. At each level there are a number of tests offered each with a varying degree of difficulty. the lower numbered tests of each level are designed to be slightly easier, with the higher numbered test being more difficult. Some tests are specifically designated as qualifying tests. these are marked with a Q in the class title on the competition schedule. When qualifying for different series and Championships, horses and riders need to earn a minimum number of points in the qualifying tests. More specific detail and qualifications for each championship can be found later in section 5. 19. Sections within each level of competition Each level of competition e.g. Preliminary or novice is divided in to three sections Bronze, Silver and Gold. the section into which a member may enter is determined by the horse’s and rider’s experience and points won at each level of competition. Each level will run as one class with all riders being judged by the same judge. At the end of the class, for results and qualification purposes, the class will be divided in to the different sections. • • • Bronze sections are for less experienced horses and riders who have just started competing at a given level so that they can compete against those with a similar ability. Silver sections are designed for those combinations that have achieved more ability at a level and have demonstrated that they are no longer a beginner at that level. Gold sections are open to all but are designed for riders who have gained experience at higher levels and are riding a horse with less experience, or for combinations who have demonstrated that they are competent at a level. there is no obligation for a combination to move out of the Gold section at any given level should they not wish to compete at the levels above. it is the rider’s responsibility to state the section they are entering for every class; if not stated, they will automatically be put in the Gold section. Riders may not change section once a class has started. Each section within a given level holds a separate pathway of qualification for the different championship series that BD offers. Bronze only enables a combination to qualify for the Area Festival series in the Bronze section. Silver enables a combination to qualify for the Area Festival series in the Silver section and also Regional Championships in the Silver Section. 26 BD P1 S3 – Eligibility to Compete_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:30 Page 2 Gold only enables a combination to qualify for Regional Championships in the Gold section. 20.

Riders who enter the Grand Prix class at the National Championships automatically declare their intention to compete in the Grand Prix freestyle if qualified. In cases of legitimate withdrawal due to illness or veterinary/welfare reasons the next qualified combination will move up. the marks from both sections will be added and the average percentage calculated to determine the National Champion. 52. Special rules for Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight and offshore islands For all levels, half the qualifying points must be achieved at the required percentage and at least half these points must be gained in qualifiers. Where the total points required is an odd number, the number of points needed under these special rules will be rounded up e.g. Preliminary Silver will require 10 points all from qualifiers and Novice Silver will require 10 points, five from qualifiers. 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. 46 BD P1 S5 – Regionals and Championship Qualification_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:31 Page 6 53. Qualification from Regionals to National/Winter Championships 54. Wild Card allocation b) Immediately after the final Winter or Summer Regional Championships those qualified at Preliminary to Advanced Medium are listed and the remaining places in the relevant Championship class are filled by the non-qualified 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. c) For Prix St Georges and Intermediate I, wild cards are to be offered to non-qualified 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. d) 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. 47 Regionals and Championship Qualification a) 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.

Tack while warming up Whilst warming up, horses may wear only the saddlery allowed for their level of competition, except: • • Boots, bandages and whips are permitted. Riders who are visually impaired should wear a white armband. Warming up in anything other than permitted saddlery (unless specified above) will entail the elimination of both horse and owner/rider from all classes on the day. Anyone seeing this rule being breached should immediately report it to the organiser who is to eliminate the horse/rider. 137. Lungeing the lunge rein must be attached to the bit or cavesson and two reins are permissible. Side reins may be used, but not running or balancing reins. the rider may be mounted while the horse is being lunged and may hold the reins. the rider must obtain permission to lunge from the organiser, who may designate a specific area. 138.

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 fifteen metres for international competitions and at least ten metres for other events if more room is not available. Adjacent arenas should be a recommended five metres apart but never less than two meters 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 –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 Section 15 Riding the test and Penalties 100 BD P1 S15 – Riding the test and penalties_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:37 Page 2 Plan of 20 x 60 arena the length of the diagonal from corner to corner is 63.24 m Section 15 Riding the test and Penalties 101 BD P1 S15 – Riding the test and penalties_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:37 Page 3 142. 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. 143. Inspection of arenas the judge is responsible for checking that the arena is satisfactory and having it modified as necessary. 144.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. 145. 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. 146. Dispensation All classified riders can apply to British Dressage for Dispensation to use compensating aids enabling them to ride in able-bodied competitions. However for certain impairments involving difficulties or weakness in grip you can also apply for a Dispensation to use adapted reins. Section 15 a) Dispensation to Use Compensating Aids Riding the test and Penalties If you hold either an RDA or FEI Classification you can apply for a dispensation certificate to enable you to ride with appropriate compensating aids so that you can ride in ablebodied competition. Whips may not be permitted if the riders disability does not affect their legs. To apply for a Dispensation certificate you will need to complete the Dispensation Application form and return to us with a copy of your Classification details (eg RDA card) and any Medical diagnosis. There is a fee of £50 and the certificates must be renewed 'every two years. Renewals are free of charge. b) Dispensation to Use Adapted Reins If you have an impairment affecting your grip you may be able to get dispensation to use adapted reins. You must have proof of a medical diagnosis from an Orthopeadic Specialist or Qualified Physiotherapist. To apply for a Dispensation certificate you will need to complete a Dispensation to Use Adapted Reins form and return this to us along with a letter to confirm your diagnosis and payment of £50. This will be considered by our panel and a certificate will be issued entitling you to ride with adapted reins. This certificate must be renewed bi-annually. 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. 102 BD P1 S15 – Riding the test and penalties_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:37 Page 4 147. 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. If not worn or an incorrect number is worn, this constitutes contravening the rules and two penalties should be deducted. 148.Riding in collecting ring or practice areas/arenas Riders are to behave with consideration to their fellow competitors whilst working in and follow the below guidelines: 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. 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) 149.Warming up 150. Commanders a) commanders may be used in all classes except Area Festivals, Premier Leagues, Regional and national championships, 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. 103 Riding the test and Penalties in all competitions, the horse may be warmed up (including being competed in an earlier class) by another person. except for Grade i, ii and iii Para dressage riders, at Summer, Winter, Music Regionals, Area Festival and championships, only the competitor may warm up the horse. Another rider may exercise the horse on a long rein at walk under supervision of the steward or marshal (who is to be notified). Section 15 if a warm-up 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 warm-up arena, giving priority to those closest to performing their test. BD P1 S15 – Riding the test and penalties_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:37 Page 5 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. 151. Outside assistance the Judge is to eliminate a rider who is given any outside assistance designed to help them improve their performance during a test. this rules applies once the judges bell has rung to signal the start of the test. See Rule 174. 152. 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. 153. Entering arena before the signal to start no horse may intentionally enter any arena, other than the practice arena, except when actually competing. competitors must wait until the judge has signified that they may start before entering the arena otherwise two penalty marks will be deducted. Riders are not to enter or ride around the competition arena during a break or whilst the judge is not present. See rule 174. Section 15 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. Riding the test and Penalties Any horse failing to enter the arena within 45 seconds of the bell being sounded will have a two mark penalty per Judge awarded. Failure to enter after 90 seconds of the signal to start will result in elimination. See Rule 174. 154. 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. However, if 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. See Rule 174. 104 BD P1 S15 – Riding the test and penalties_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:37 Page 6 155. 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. See Rule 174. 156. Sitting and rising 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 and 5 year old classes trot work may be sitting or rising. For 6 year old tests trot work must be ridden sitting except extended/Medium trot movements, which may be ridden in rising. Fei tests, including Young Horse tests, require sitting trot except where specifically stated otherwise. See rule 174. 157. 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 will eliminate any horse that leaves the arena during a test, when the surround is continuous and nine inches high or more. Where the surround is less than nine inches, 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. See Rule 174. 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. See rule 174. Section 15 a) Any horse failing to enter the arena within 45 seconds of the bell being sounded will have a two mark penalty awarded by each judge. Failure to enter after 90 seconds of the signal to start will result in elimination. See Rule 174. Riding the test and Penalties 158. Dismounting and/or fall of rider/horse 159. Resistance b) the judge is to eliminate any horse refusing to continue the test for a period of 20 consecutive seconds during a test. See Rule 174. 160.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. See Rule 174. 161.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. 105 BD P1 S15 – Riding the test and penalties_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:37 Page 7 162. Freestyle to music and Technical failures 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. See rule 174. in the case of a technical failure interfering 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. If the music continues to fail after a restart, the rider will be eliminated (as per the dressage to music guidelines). 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 if competition timings permit. 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/stopped. in either case, the marks already given to the point at which the music failed/stopped will not be changed. test sheets are available at all levels and each includes a list of compulsory movements, non-compulsory permitted movements and prohibited movements. if deliberately 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. Section 15 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. 163.Riding the wrong test Riding the test and Penalties 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. See Rule 174. 164.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 e.g. 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. 106 BD P1 S15 – Riding the test and penalties_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:37 Page 8 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). c) Record the penalty for error of course. 165. 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 two points • the third time the competitor is eliminated, although he may continue his performance to the end, marks being awarded in the ordinary way. • the second time by four points 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. See Rule 174. if a competitor makes an error of the test (eg, trots rising instead of sitting, or carries a whip) he is to be penalised according to the table in Rule 175 and although these penalties will be cumulative they will not relate to penalties in rule 166 and will not result in elimination. Judges should note them at the bottom of the judges sheet. Section 15 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. See rule 174. Riding the test and Penalties 166.Errors of the test 167. Lameness 168.Scoring method each Judge will award marks from zero to ten 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 two 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 two 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 107 BD P1 S15 – Riding the test and penalties_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:37 Page 9 169.Scale of marks the scale of marks is as follows: 10 Excellent 4 Insufficient 8 2 Bad 9 Very Good 7 Fairly Good 6 5 Good Satisfactory Sufficient 3 1 0 Fairly Bad Very Bad Not Executed the marks 10 and 0 should be awarded where the performance warrants their use. (“not executed” means that nothing required has been performed). 170. Judges’ sheets Score sheets, one per horse per judge, may be purchased from the BD office. these tests are protected by copyright: photocopying is not permitted, and legal action will be taken against offenders. FEI Tests adopted by BD as national tests must be purchased from BD and not downloaded from the FEI website as there are differences in the penalties for errors of course. Section 15 When judges have sanctioned their distribution, competitors may collect their sheets. competitors taking part in two classes on the same day judged by the same judge, are not to have access to their score sheets before competing in the second test. Judges’ score sheets with remarks signed by the judge must be treated as confidential until given to the competitor, when they become his or her private property. organisers are not obliged to make public any figures other than total marks, percentage scores awarded and results. 171. Judges’ decision final a) in all cases the Judges’ decision is final subject only to Rule 174. Riding the test and Penalties b) Any complaint against a Judge must be made in writing and in accordance with the complaints Procedure. c) the BD Board may direct the re-test of any Judge, or remove him/her from the official Panel, giving reasons for their decision. d) Any Judge under investigation may be suspended until the matter has been investigated 172. Cautions a) the judge is authorised to caution a competitor as to his conduct at an affiliated show. All such cautions must be reported to the chief executive in the following form: “i have to report that at the .....Show, on ....(date), i had occasion to caution ... (name) as to his conduct....(Signature of Judge)” b) if the same member receives a second caution within any period of 24 months, the chief executive will call for a further report of the incident which gave rise to the second caution and may refer this to the Disciplinary Panel or the Judges complaints Panel at his discretion. 108 BD P1 S15 – Riding the test and penalties_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:37 Page 10 173. Objections (a) the owner, his agent or the rider of a horse taking part in a competition may lodge an objection. objections must be made in writing to the Secretary of the competition, accompanied by a deposit of £25, not later than 1 hour after the final results are put onto the scoreboard. the senior dressage Judge present should adjudicate whenever possible. if this is not possible the objection should immediately be referred to the BD office for consideration by the Judges complaints Panel. the deposit is forfeited unless the objection is upheld or it is decided that there were good and reasonable grounds for lodging an objection. (b) in the event that the objection relates only to the adding up of the score, arithmetical or procedural error the competitor must notify the organiser within 48 hours of the result being announced, if a change needs to be made or a possible qualification registered. 174. Penalties for contravening rules 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. the table below details the penalties for contravening rules; Rule Rule Penalty 162 two mark deduction no hat.

Appointment and deselection Judges of affiliated classes must be on the official Judges’ Panel and be a current member of BD. they are appointed by the organisers of competitions or by BD. Judges must be 18 years or over upon application. Where appropriate, judges subject to investigation may be suspended until their hearing. A judge may be deselected from the official Judges Panel by BD if he or she: a) is in serious or repeated breach of the BD Judges’ code of conduct; b) brings BD or its name or reputation into any form of disrepute; c) is determined by the Judge complaints Panel or the chief executive (using his/her summary powers) to be in breach of any BD Rule; d) commits any act of dishonesty or criminal offence; e) Where the Judges complaints Panel assesses that a judges standard of judging is insufficient in some respect, they or the Judges committee have the authority to require the judge to undertake specific training or retesting. Failure to comply satisfactorily with these requirements may result in the judge being downgraded or removed from the list. 176. Foreign Judges / FEI Judges not listed in Great Britain Section 16 a) Fei 3*, 4* or 5* Judges may officiate at affiliated BD competition providing they meet the national minimum judging requirements as set in the current Fei education system, i.e. • • Dressage – a certified national Grand Prix Judge Para Dressage – a certified national PSG judge Judges b) other than listed above and national irish judges no other foreign judge may officiate at an affiliated competition. 177. Positioning of Judges A jury usually consists of 2, 3 or 5 judges. Judges may be positioned on the outside of the arena at e,H,c,M and B. the President sits at c, and two others (M and H) on either side of the judge at c, to the inside of the long sides. Side Judges are placed at B and e. there should always be a judge at c but the positioning of the other judges may be decided by the jury. A jury of two Judges may be positioned close together either side of c, or one at c and one at e or B. the Judges’ boxes should be sited at least two metres away from the side of the arena to ensure a full view. 178. Judging Conflicts of Interest Judges are ambassadors and role models, guided by principles of fairness, impartiality and integrity. A conflict of interest will be deemed to exist when a judge has, or reasonably appears to have, a personal or financial interest, which could affect their ability to be impartial. it is the responsibility of a judge to be scrupulously careful to guard against any appearance or actuality of interest whether financial or otherwise. it is always wiser to acknowledge a possible source of a conflict and stand aside rather than permit suspicions to gain strength. 112 BD P1 S16 & 17 – Judges & CT_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:38 Page 2 List 2A All tests up to and including intermediate i.

Section 16 the following restrictions apply to judges to all affiliated dressage competitions. a) the Judge may not be the owner of or have a financial interest in any horse in the class. b) the Judge may not be in a relationship with or a close relative of a rider or owner, nor shall the judge be in regular contact with the rider i.e. stabled on the riders yard or having regular training with the rider. c) no Judge may judge a horse at Advanced level, which has been in their ownership within 2 years of the date of the competition concerned. d) no Judge may judge a horse at levels up to and including Advanced Medium, which has been in their ownership within one year of the date of the competition concerned. e) the Judge must try to avoid judging any combination with whose training he/she has been regularly involved, or been trained by themselves, unless exceptional circumstances demand it, (e.g. at very short notice). in this instance, the Judge must record the possible conflict of interest with the organiser, which must then be displayed on the scoreboard. For Regionals and Championships any conflict must be avoided and list of entries must be available to the judges from the show organisers as soon as possible after close of entries to help avoid any conflict. Regular training is defined as having trained a horse or rider not more than more than six times in the preceding 12 months. This also includes test riding clinics and the judge being trained by the rider in question. Training may not take place within two weeks prior to Regionals or Championships. f) no Judge may judge a freestyle if they have participated in the making of a musical cD or creation of the floor plan used by a competitor in the class. g) Judges, writers, or others within earshot of the Judge are not to write a commentary of the class for publication. h) A rider and or horse should not be judged by anyone with whom they have a commercial or contractual sponsorship agreement (financial or product supply/endorsement). The conflict is seen when there is payments made between such parties, whether that be direct or through a third party such as BD. If a judge is unsure regarding a possible conflict they should contact the judge’s director for clarification. if a judge arrives at a show to find they have a conflict, or perceived conflict, with a combination which they will be judging as under e) above, they should complete an official conflict of interest Form (organisers have the forms and are available on the BD website) which must be attached to the score board. if any member has a complaint against a judge involving conflict of interest, they should submit a complaint as in annex 4.

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 c) 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. 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. 118 BD P2 Annex 1_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:39 Page 2 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 f) 3. Mares must not compete after their fourth month of pregnancy or with foal at foot. 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 c) 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. 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 washing-down water must always be available. e) Fitness to travel 4. After competition, a horse must be fit to travel in accordance with the FEI’s guidelines. 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. 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. 119 Welfare of the Horse c) No horse showing symptoms of disease, lameness or other significant ailments or pre-existing 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. Annex 1 b) Health status BD P2 Annex 1_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:39 Page 3 Annex 1 b) Referral centres Welfare of the Horse 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 e.g. Judges, Training etc to make policy recommendations on welfare issues relating to their areas of responsibility and to implement this policy and to implement these policies which 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 abuse and are anxious to co-operate. The person on the ground must keep this in mind when assessing the situation and act accordingly. If during a competition abuse to a horse is witnessed by an Organiser, Judge or 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. 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 120 BD P2 Annex 1_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:39 Page 4 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. Over-working – 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 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 co-judge, 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. 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.

BD P2 Annex 3 & 4_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:51 Page 1 ANNEX 3 Annex 3 Judges Code of Conduct Judges Code of Conduct Judges Code of Conduct 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, self-control, 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 Rules. 1. Judges should act with integrity and always put the sport and the horse’s welfare first. 2. Judges should be: (i) Honest and Open (ii) Respectful to riders at all times (iii) Objective, fair and unbiased 3. (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. 6. 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. 7. Judges should not solicit organisers for future invitations. 8. Opinion and comments on any of the combinations judged should be heard only by the writer and / or any person invited to sit-in 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 Conflict of Interest rule as detailed on page 107. 12. Conflicts of interest are not permitted at Regional/Winter/Summer Championships unless an exemption is granted in an exception circumstance. 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. 126 BD P2 Annex 3 & 4_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:51 Page 2 ANNEX 4 1. 1.1 Any person wishing to make a complaint of misconduct or relating to a breach of these Rules by a Member or Judge must do so in writing to the Chief Executive. If after preliminary investigation the Chief Executive considers that a prima facie case of misconduct exists which cannot be dealt with summarily, he may in his absolute discretion refer the complaint to either the Judges Complaints Panel or Disciplinary Panel or alternatively to Sports Resolutions UK. 1.2 The Chief Executive or the Board may, at their sole discretion, refer any matter which comes to their attention to either the Disciplinary Panel, the Judges Complaints Panel or to Sports Resolutions UK. 1.3 In these Rules references to the Panel shall relate either to the Disciplinary Panel or the Judges Complaints Panel. 2. 2.1 As soon as possible after an incident anyone wishing to complain should send a written complaint to the Chief Executive 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 Chief Executive at either: Email: [email protected] or Post: Chief Executive, British Dressage, Meriden Business Park, Copse Drive, Meriden, West Midlands, 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. 2.2 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 if possible approach the Steward, Organiser or Senior Judges on site who should inform the individual concerned of the complaint. If the incident concerns a horse 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. 3. The Chief Executive 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. 4. If the Chief Executive considers that the complaint should be investigated, the Member or Judge (Respondent) who is the subject of the complaint will be asked to respond to the complaint. Such response should be received by the Chief Executive within 14 days of the request for a response being made. In the absence of a response the Chief Executive will be entitled to consider the complaint in any event. The Chief Executive may also make any further enquiries he or she considers to be appropriate. 5. If having made further enquiries the Chief Executive considers that the complaint should be pursued further the complainant will be informed and a copy of the complaint may be provided to the Member or Judge who is the subject of the complaint. 127 Member Conduct and Complaints against Members and Judges Complaints of misconduct Section 4 Member Conduct and Complaints against Members and Judges BD P2 Annex 3 & 4_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:51 Page 3 Summary Powers of the Chief Executive Section 4 6.

Member Conduct and Complaints against Members and Judges 7. This Rule shall only apply to breaches of: (a) The Judges Code of Conduct (b) Paragraph (a) to (e), (h) to (l) and (o) to (w) of the Members Code of Conduct. 8. The Chief Executive or Chair of the Judges Complaints Panel shall give notification in writing to a Member or Judge against whom a complaint has been made that the matter will be dealt with under this rule and will give the Member or Judge the opportunity to either: (a) Within 21 days request that the complaint should be referred to the Disciplinary Panel or the Judges Complaints Panel, in which event the Chief Executive must refer the matter either to the Disciplinary Panel of the Judges Complaints Panel at his sole discretion. For avoidance of doubt the Member or Judge is not entitled to request that the matter be referred to Sports Resolutions UK. (b) Agree that the complaint should be dealt with under this Rule, in which event the Member or Judge should respond to the complaint in writing to the Chief Executive within 21 days. The response should set out in detail any matters which the Member or Judge wishes to be taken into account and supply a copy of any relevant documents. (c) In the event that no response is received the Chief Executive or the Chair of the Judges Complaints Panel may proceed to consider the complaint under this Rule. (d) If the complaint is to be dealt with under this Rule the Chief Executive or the Chair of the Judges Complaints Panel will consider the complaint and the response and will notify the Member or Judge concerned of the decision with 21 days or as soon as reasonably practical. 9. If the Member or Judge disagrees with the decision of the Chief Executive either as to the complaint or the penalty imposed he/she must within 14 days of the decision request the Chief Executive to refer the complaint either to the Disciplinary Panel or the Judges Complaints Panel (the choice of panel shall be at the Chief Executive’s sole discretion). The Disciplinary Panel or the Judges Complaints Panel may for the avoidance of doubt, impose any one or more of the penalties set out in Annex 4 of these Rules. 10. The Chief Executive or Chair of the Judges Complaints Panel is empowered to impose any one or more of the following penalties: (a) That such Member or Judge be warned that the conduct complained of was unacceptable, and for the Chief Executive or Chair of the Judges Complaints Panel may give advice as to appropriate further conduct by the Member or Judge. (b) That such Member or Judge be reprimanded and cautioned as to his/her future conduct. (c) That such Member or Judge be suspended from all or any of the rights and privileges of membership for a period not exceeding three months by the Chief Executive. The Board has the power to increase the length of a suspension following a request from the Chief Executive or Chair of the Judges Complaints Panel. (d) That any horse or pony belonging to and/or being ridden by such Member at the time of the misconduct be debarred from competing in any competition and shows affiliated to British Dressage, to a foreign federation or to the FEI for a period not exceeding 12 months and/or be disqualified from the result of any competition or competitions directly associated with the misconduct. 128 BD P2 Annex 3 & 4_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:51 Page 4 (g) That such a Judge be: (i) (ii) (iii) Suspended from judging for a period not exceeding 3 months and/or Be deselected or reduced in status and/or Required to undergo such additional or further training as the Chief Executive, Chair of the Judges Complaints Panel or Chairman of the Judges Committee considers to be appropriate. 11. Fines imposed pursuant to these Summary Powers on an owner, lessee, Authorised Agent or rider may be levied with or without disqualification of the horse or pony concerned from any competition. If the horse or pony is not so disqualified, any points won in these circumstances will remain on its grading record. A horse or pony competing in a class for which it is not eligible will be disqualified from that competition and all points won and/or qualifications awarded will be forfeit. If a competitor, horse or pony qualifies for a further competition as a result of a competition for which he, she or it was not eligible for any reason the qualification will be cancelled, whether or not a fine or penalty has been imposed. Provided the cancellation of such qualification has been confirmed by the Chief Executive before the normal closing date for the next round of the competition or championship, the qualification will pass to the next eligible competitor, horse or pony, if any. 12. In the event that the Chief Executive or Chair of the Judges Complaints Panel considers in his/her discretion that any complaint received results in a minor infringement of the Rules and considers that it would be inappropriate to either refer the matter to the Disciplinary Panel, the Judges Complaints Panel or Sports Resolutions UK or to deal with the complaint under this Rule the Chief Executive may issue a Caution/Formal Warning to the Member as to their future conduct. Any such Caution/Formal Warning shall be placed upon the Member’s record.

The Notice of Appeal must be accompanied by a cheque for a fee of £300 not subject to VAT, made payable to the ‘British Equestrian Federation’. This sum is to cover the costs and expenses of appointing the Appeal Panel and will be retained by the BEF in the event that the Appellant is unsuccessful but will be refunded in the event that the Appellant is successful and in that case the Respondent will pay the fee of £300 to the BEF. 21. Pending the outcome of the appeal the Appeal Panel, once appointed, has the discretion to order that the decision of the Respondent stands and that the Appellant is bound by that decision until such time as the Appeal Panel issues their finding to the contrary. 22. Any member who has been penalised by the Disciplinary Panel and who has appealed such decision to the BEF’s Appeal Panel and is dissatisfied with such Panel’s decision, may appeal to Sports Resolution UK whose terms of reference may be obtained from British Dressage or the BEF. Disciplinary stewards 23. Disciplinary Stewards or Judges may be employed by the Chief Executive on behalf of the Board. Their duties are to attend shows in order to observe and regulate the conduct of members. A Disciplinary Steward or Judge will normally in the first instance caution any member whose conduct he/she has occasion to take note of and will explain to such member in what manner his/her conduct falls short of that required by the rules. In flagrant or repeated instances of misconduct the Disciplinary Steward or Judge will report the circumstances to the Chief Executive. Indebtedness to British Dressage 24. Any member who fails to pay a fine imposed by the Disciplinary Panel, Judges Complaints Panel, or the FEI, or who fails to pay for goods or services supplied by British Dressage, including the processing of memberships, registrations, etc. or by making such payments by means of a cheque or other instrument, including Variable Amount Direct Debit mandate, which is subsequently dishonoured, may be notified by the Chief Executive of his/her indebtedness by 1st class letter. If such indebtedness is not fully settled within 30 days of the despatch of such notification, the member shall automatically be suspended from all rights and privileges of membership of British Dressage until such time as payment is received. 135 Disciplinary Procedure 19. Terms of Reference of the British Equestrian Federation Appeal Panel can be obtained from British Dressage or the BEF website. Annext 5 17. Any member whose conduct has been referred to the Disciplinary Panel or Judges Complaints Panel and who is dissatisfied with the Disciplinary Panel’s decision may, within 14 days of a decision (or where relevant of receipt by the individual of the Respondent’s written clarification for the decision) appeal to the British Equestrian Federations Appeal Panel subject to the BEF’s terms of reference.

Where you believe you have been unfairly judged. 3. Where the Judge feels that a rider has behaved in a manner which is potentially in breach of the code of conduct. 2. Where you believe that the behaviour of the Judge has been inappropriate and potentially in breach of the code of conduct. Feedback Form / Incident Report process This alternative channel should be used to bring matters to the attention of the Judges Committee. For example, when a member feels that a judge may have made a mistake or error in scoring. This will be looked at as a means of supporting the ongoing training to improve the education of judges, and not seen as a formal complaint. In this case you can contact one of three people by email; - Judges Director - Rider Liaison Officer on the Judges Committee - Judges Liaison Officer on the Judges Committee Alternatively if you wish to send the form by post, please send it to the registered BD Office address. The process for providing feedback is as follows: 1. Complete the feedback form / incident report and send via email to the Judges Director, or to the Judges or Rider Liaison representative on the Judges Committee, with the relevant information and supporting evidence. 2. Members can use this channel to report an incident only, not to lodge a formal complaint. 3. An acknowledgement will be made, when members will be assured that the matter will be investigated and dealt with appropriately. 4. The recipient of the feedback form / incident report will inform the member if they feel the incident might be more appropriate to go through the formal official complaints procedure. 5. If an official complaint is recommended, the member will then be consulted as to whether or not they wish to lodge a formal complaint and will have the final decision on this. 138 BD P2 Annex 6_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:53 Page 2 6. All matters lodged via the feedback form / incident report will be referred to the Judges Director who may then, if considered appropriate, direct the issue to the next Judges Committee meeting for further discussion and consideration. A log of all incidents will be maintained to enable any recurring issues to be identified and rectified as appropriate. Please note that only complaints lodged formally through the official complaints procedure, as detailed in Annex 4, can be referred to the Judges Complaints Panel. Further correspondence will not be entered into for minor incidents reported via the feedback form. 139 Feedback Policy for Members A feedback form can be obtained from the CEO Office, Judges Officer or downloaded from the BD website. Annex 6 7. Follow-up actions may include a phone call or an email to the judge in question to discuss their error, or a general notice issued in the next judges newsletter.

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. Dressage Definitions The way of going 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. For the shoulder-in 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?” Those Scales of Training are: • Rhythm • Contact • • • • Suppleness 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. 142 BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 2 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. Suppleness 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 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. 143 Dressage Definitions 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’. Annex 8 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. BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 3 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. 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. Annex 8 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. Dressage Definitions 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. 144 BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 4 Leave the arena 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 Free walk on a long rein Trot/canter on a long rein 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 lightness of the forehand and the engagement of the hindquarters, originating from a lively impulsion. • • The harmony, lightness and ease of the movements. 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. 145 Dressage Definitions 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. Annex 8 Free walk on a long rein is a pace of relaxation 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. BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 5 5. 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. 6. Cadence is shown in trot and canter and is the result of the proper harmony that a Horse shows when it moves with well-marked 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. Annex 8 The Halt 1. Dressage Definitions 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 half-halts (see transitions). 3. The quality of the paces before and after the halt is an integral part of the assessment. 146 BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 6 The Walk 1. The walk is a marching pace in a regular and well-marked four (4) times beat with equal intervals between each beat. This regularity combined with full relaxation must be maintained throughout all walk movements. 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. 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. 3.3. 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. 147 Dressage Definitions 3.2. Collected walk. The horse, remains “on the bit”, moves resolutely forward, with its neck raised and arched and showing a clear self-carriage. 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. Annex 8 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. BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 7 Annex 8 The Trot 1. 2. 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. 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. The trot should show free, active and regular steps. Dressage Definitions 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 well-engaged 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)-year-old 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 well-engaged and flexed, must maintain an energetic impulsion, enabling the shoulders to move with greater mobility, thus demonstrating complete self-carriage. 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 well-balanced and the transition to Collected trot should be smoothly executed by taking more weight on the hindquarters. 148 BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 8 5. All trot work is executed “sitting”, unless otherwise indicated in the test. 1. 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)-year-old 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 well-engaged, 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. 149 Dressage Definitions 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. Annex 8 The Canter BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 9 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. 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. Annex 8 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. Dressage Definitions 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 1. 2. 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. 150 BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 10 3. 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. 5. 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. The same applies to transitions from one (1) movement to another, for instance from passage to piaffe or vice versa. 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. 2. 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. Changes of directions can be executed in the following ways: a) Right-angled 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) f) Serpentine loops. Counter-changes of hand (in zig-zag)*. The horse should be straight for a moment before changing direction. *Zig-zag: A movement containing more than two (2) halfpasses with changes of direction. 151 Dressage Definitions 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. Annex 8 Transitions BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 11 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. Annex 8 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). 152 BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 12 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. Annex 8 1. 2. The aim of leg yielding: To demonstrate the suppleness and lateral responsiveness of the horse. Leg-yielding 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. Leg-yielding should be included in the training of the horse before it is ready for Collected work. Later on, together with the more advanced shoulder-in 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. 2. The main aim of lateral movements – except leg-yielding - is to develop and increase the engagement of the hindquarters and thereby also the collection. In all lateral movements - shoulder-in, travers, renvers, and half-pass, 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. 5. 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. Shoulder-in. The shoulder-in 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. 153 Dressage Definitions Leg Yielding BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 13 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. 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 counter-flexion of the poll/neck) as one (1) would finish a circle. Annex 8 7. 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. 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. Dressage Definitions 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. 8. Aims of renvers: To show a fluent Collected trot movement on a straight line with a greater degree of bend than in shoulder-in. Fore and hind legs cross, balance and cadence are maintained. Half pass. Half-pass 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 half-pass in trot: To show a fluent collected trot movement on a diagonal line with a greater degree of bend than in shoulder-in. Fore and hind legs cross, balance and cadence are maintained. Aims of the half-pass 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. 154 BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 14 Annex 8 Dressage Definitions The Pirouette, Half Pirouette and turn on the haunches 1. 2. 3. The Pirouette (half-pirouette) 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 (half-pirouettes) are usually carried out at Collected walk or canter, but can also be executed at piaffe. At the pirouette (half-pirouette) 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 (half-pirouette) 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 (half-pirouettes), the horse should maintain its activity (walk also included) and never move backwards or sideways. 6. In executing the pirouette or the half-pirouette 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. 155 BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 15 Aims of the pirouette and half-pirouette 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 half-pirouette 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. Annex 8 Dressage Definitions 7. 8. The quality of the pirouettes (half-pirouettes) is judged according to the suppleness, lightness and regularity, and the precision and smoothness of the entrance and exit. Pirouettes (half-pirouettes) in canter should be executed in six (6) to eight (8) strides – full pirouettes – and three to four (4) strides – half-pirouette. Half-pirouettes in walk (180 degrees) are executed out of Collected walk with the collection being maintained throughout the exercise. When the horse exits the half-pirouette 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. 156 BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 16 Passage 1. 2. 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. 4. The aim of passage is too demonstrate the highest degree of collection, cadence and suspension in the trot. 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 double-beat 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. 157 Dressage Definitions 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. Annex 8 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. BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 17 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. 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. Annex 8 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. Dressage Definitions 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 self-carrying 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 half-halts and the use of lateral movements shoulder-in, 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. 158 BD P2 Annex 8_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:54 Page 18 On the other hand, a horse with an over-long 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. Annex 8 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. Dressage Definitions 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 well-balanced, 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 cooperation between horse and athlete. 3. 4. 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. 159 BD P2 Annex 9_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:55 Page 1 ANNEX 9 Child Protection and Equal Opportunities Safeguarding Policy & Procedures British Dressage fully accepts its legal (The Children Act 1989 & 2004) and moral obligation to provide a duty of care, to protect all children (and adults at risk) and safeguard their welfare, irrespective of age, any disability they have, gender, racial origin, religious belief and sexual orientation. A child/young person is defined as a person under the age of 18 years (The Children Act 1989 & 2004). Annex 9 British Dressage along with all other British Equestrian Federation (BEF) member bodies, adopts and adheres to the BEF Safeguarding Policy. The full policy and the leaflet ‘Information and Guidance for Children in Equestrianism’ can be downloaded from the British Dressage website - www.britishdressage.co.uk (25 & Under/Child Protection) or BEF website – www.bef.co.uk. Child Protection and Equal Opportunities Policy aims The aim of the British Dressage Safeguarding Policy is to promote good practice by:• • • • • • Ensuring robust safeguarding arrangements and procedures are in operation to provide children, young people and adults at risk with appropriate safety and protection whilst at British Dressage affiliated competitions, U21 International competitions, U25 competitions and training days allowing them to participate in a fun, safe environment and in an atmosphere of fair play. Taking all reasonable practical steps to protect children and adults at risk from harm, discrimination and degrading treatment and respect their rights, wishes and feelings. Ensuring everyone understands their roles and responsibilities in respect of safeguarding and is provided with appropriate learning opportunities to recognise, identify and respond to signs of abuse, neglect and other safeguarding concerns relating to children, young people and adults at risk. That appropriate action is taken in the event of incidents/concerns of abuse and support provided to the individual/s concerned and those who raise or disclose the concern. All concerns or allegations of poor practise or abuse are taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately. It is the responsibility of child protection experts to determine whether or not abuse has taken place - but it is everyone’s responsibility to report it. That confidential, detailed and accurate records of all safeguarding concerns are maintained and securely stored. Maintaining high standards of behaviour and good practice through compliance with BEF codes of conduct produced for staff, coaches, selectors and volunteers. The policy and procedures are mandatory for everyone involved with British Dressage. Failure to comply with the policy and procedures will be addressed without delay and may ultimately result in dismissal/exclusion from the organisation. The policy will be reviewed every two years, or in the following circumstances:• changes in legislation and/or government guidance • as a result of any other significant change or event • as required by the Local Safeguarding Children Board, UK Sport and the BEF 160 BD P2 Annex 9_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:55 Page 2 Lead Welfare Officer For confidential assistance or advice with any queries, concerns or incidents, please contact: Karen Ryder, Lead Welfare Officer, on 02476 698840 or [email protected], Sharon Weir, Assistant Lead Welfare Officer on 02476 698834 or [email protected]. The subject of safeguarding will be an agenda item at Board of Directors, BYRDS Committee and BYRDS Regional Representatives meetings. The role of the Lead Welfare Officer is:• To represent British Dressage on the BEF Safeguarding and Equality Action Team (SEAT) • To ensure that BD’s staff, U21 Selectors, Chef d’Equipe’s, BYRDS Representatives, coaches, event organisers, officials and volunteers are aware of the Safeguarding Policy, procedures, guidelines and codes of conduct and adopt them as appropriate • • • • • • • To respond to any allegations or complaints made from within BD in accordance with the agreed protocols detailed in the BEF Safeguarding Equestrian Sport Policy To communicate with other BEF member bodies with regard to concerns involving safeguarding, child protection and welfare To ensure that Under 18 members and their parents are aware of BD’s Safeguarding Policy and Procedures and how to access them. To facilitate and promote education and training in safeguarding in partnership with the BEF and the other member bodies for all staff, officials and volunteers To ensure that procedures on recruitment of staff, officials and volunteers are followed and where appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service procedures implemented To ensure that codes of conduct are in place for officials, U21 Selectors, coaches, volunteers, members and their parents To ensure confidentiality is maintained and information is only shared on a ‘need to know’ basis. Nominated Welfare Officer BD appoints its Regional Development Officers and BYRDS Regional Representatives as Nominated Welfare Officers (NWO) at regional training sessions, camps and competitions. 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 Inter-Regional 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 161 Child Protection and Equal Opportunities • To advise the BEF and their Safeguarding Advisory Group of any allegations or complaints made in relation to child protection and welfare. To implement BD’s disciplinary procedure as appropriate Annex 9 • To keep this Policy up to date and ensure it is disseminated throughout the sport. BD P2 Annex 9_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:55 Page 3 • • • 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 Annex 9 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:• Child Protection and Equal Opportunities • • • • • • 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 for 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. 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:• Avoid spending excessive amounts of time alone with children away from others; • Allegations made by a child must always be recorded, challenged and acted upon; • • Avoid taking or dropping off a child to an event unless there are 2 adults present; 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; 162 BD P2 Annex 9_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:55 Page 4 Officials, competitors and volunteers should never:• Engage in rough, physical or sexually provocative games; • Allow children to use inappropriate language unchallenged; • • • Allow or engage in any form of inappropriate touching; 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 a child misunderstands or misinterprets something you have done. • If he/she seems distressed in any manner; The written complaint should be given to the Welfare Officer and the Lead Safeguarding Officer for British Dressage must be informed. The Lead Officer will decide whether to pass the complaint to another agency, e.g. police or social care services, or in the case of less serious cases i.e. coaching violations; it will be investigated by British Dressage / the BEF and may be referred to a Disciplinary Committee as per the BD Rule book. If the case is passed to an external agency e.g. police or social care services, the BEF Safeguarding Advisory Group and the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO)/appropriate agency for that country will be informed. The Chairperson / Chief Executive will also be made aware that an allegation / complaint have been made which has been passed to other agencies. When the investigation into the allegation / complaint has been completed by the other agencies, the case will return to the original agency to consider the employment issues. If the individual(s) has / have been prosecuted and found guilty British Dressage will not carry out a full investigation but may instigate a case review. The DBS must be informed and all member bodies instructed that they should no longer use this person / these people. Further information can be found on the BEF website - http://www.bef.co.uk/BEFSafeguarding-Safeguarding/. 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. 163 Child Protection and Equal Opportunities If a complaint is made against a member of staff or volunteer which could be construed as abusive behaviour or an abuse of trust, it should be put in writing and signed and dated to ensure that it is not misinterpreted. Annex 9 Procedure if Allegations/Complaints are made against staff or volunteers BD P2 Annex 9_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:55 Page 5 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 • Wear identification at all times • • • Gain accreditation in advance of the event 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) 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. Annex 9 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. Child Protection and Equal Opportunities 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; • destroyed when the film is of no more value for training purposes or when requested to do so by the parent or carer. • used only by the trainer/coach for training purposes; 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. 164 BD P2 Annex 9_Layout 1 26/09/2016 10:55 Page 6 Writers at Affiliated Competitions Whilst we do not want to reduce opportunities for young people or create problems for judges/organisers; it is essential that British Dressage carries out its duty of care to all young people under the age of 18 yrs to keep them safe, therefore please see below the recommendations for organisers / judges where writers are under the age of 18 yrs. • • • • • The judge is entitled to ask the age of their writer in advance of the competition and request an adult writer. It is recommended that when writers are under the age of 18 they are allocated to judges boxes / cars that are in a public space and in clear view at all times. Where this is not possible both the judge and writer should be asked separately if they are happy with the arrangement. Where the young person is 16 yrs or under then consent should be sought from the parent/guardian. Where there are long breaks between tests or classes it is recommended that judges do not remain in the judges box or their car with writers under the age of 18 yrs. 165 Child Protection and Equal Opportunities If the judge wishes to bring with them / or chooses to invite a young person under the age of 16 yrs to write for them then written consent from the parents/ guardian and assent from the young person should be lodged with the organiser. If the judge is a first degree family member such as a parent or brother/sister, then no action is required. Where the relationship is at a second degree family member level such as aunt, uncle, grandparent or cousin then verbal consent to the organiser is sufficient. Annex 9 • It is recommended that all writers at affiliated shows are 16 yrs and over.

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. If a judge accepts an invitation which includes a flight or pre booked tickets, the judge must reimburse the organiser if they are no longer able to fulfil the commitment. 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. 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) 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.
