The qualifiers for the 2020 RDA Online Dressage Championships are OPEN!

From August 2019 to March 2020, RDA riders achieving scores of 60% or above will qualify to take part in our Online Dressage Championships. 

Any rider, graded or ungraded can take part in our monthly RDA competition classes, but to be eligible to qualify for the Online Championship show, riders need to be a member of an RDA group.

Riders just need one score of 60% or above to qualify. We've added classes for all different types of rider:

• Walk only - with or without a leader
• Intellectual disability - walk and trot
• Intellectual disability - canter
• Grade 1 to Grade 5
• TVI/PVI.

The Championship Show will be held online during May 2020 and champions from each level will be invited to attend the RDA National Championships at Hartpury to receive gold, silver and bronze medals and rosettes.

This is great way to introduce dressage to your RDA groups, giving riders something new to work towards. And it couldn't be easier to get started. Set up a team for free on Dressage Anywhere, or invite your riders to create individual accounts. Film your rider riding their dressage test and then upload the video for judging. We work with BD List 1 and 2 judges, many of who are also specialist para judges. Each rider receives a scoresheet with marks and comments on their performance, which is downloadable from Dressage Anywhere and there are rosettes on offer to!

RDA rules apply to the monthly classes and Championships. The Championship qualification is with the rider, so any pony or horse can be ridden in the Championship Show.
