British Dressage recently unveiled a mix of new and revised tests across all levels to ensure consistency through training and development. 

The new tests have improved scoring methods, terminology, and directives to offer a clearer path for development.

Streamlined options

The number of tests per level has been consolidated for a more focused approach:

  • Four Introductory
  • Six Preliminary to Medium
  • Five Advanced Medium
  • Two Advanced.

From July, you can practice these in our Training Class

Current tests remain in use until the end of the year for qualification in the BD Online Championships (up to October), the Veteran Horse Online Championships (up to September), the Veteran Horse Championship Show (October) and the BD Online Championship Show (November).
