Applications are now open for the Para Dressage talent development session.
The session will be held at Vale View EC on 16 - 17 March 2013, and will consist of riders riding the relevant test for their grade, in which they will be judged. This will be assessed by two coaches.
The test sheet will not be marked conventionally but the rider will be marked for their Seat, Position, Balance, Influence, Trainability and Knowledge of the Training System.
After riding their test the riders will return to the arena in pairs, and will have a 20 minute training and discussion session with the coaches where they can expect to discuss the Scales of Training and Personal Training Goals.
After this the marks will be recorded.
The top two riders from each group and the top 6 from the 26 years and over will go forward to a ride off. This will take place within the Restricted Winter Championships arena and will be judged by the Championship judges.
The rider with the highest percentage of improvement from their previous mark on each day will be the overall champion.
