***Dressage riders please note that from 1 July 2022 your helmets will need to be tagged to ensure they meet current safety standards. Helmets may be tagged at either the EA Office in Mt Barker (Monday, Wednesday or Thursday 10.00 to 4 pm) or contact Sue Brown on 0409 090 547.
*** From 1 March 2024 Gear Checking is compulsory for ALL riders AFTER EACH TEST at unofficial competitions as well as official competitions. Failure to Gear Check = Elimination. You may also present to the Gear Check for a check before your test/s if you are unsure about your saddlery/equipment but you still need to Gear Check after your test/s ***
***Practice Arena slots are 20 mins long for riders to familiarise green horses with the arena. No lunging or repeated circling in one spot (so you don't damage the grass) but horses may be led. For riders NOT competing in other classes (or you will have to ride HC if your practice session is before your test time). Draw times for these slots will vary as they need to fit in with the rest of the draw. Only riders who have booked a Practice Arena session through Nominate are permitted in the Practice Arena. It is NOT to be used to warm-up for your competition test or ridden in after your test.
Which classes can I enter?
* Competitive: You MUST be a Competitive member of EA. Your horse must have Full EA registration and have a current Competition Licence. Grading points can be accrued and recorded.
*Participant: you MUST be a Competitive OR Participant member of EA. Your horse does not need to be registered nor does it need a current Competition Licence. Grading points are NOT accrued.
*Closed Restricted: you MUST be a member of AHDC or EA. However if you only have EA membership you cannot compete at Elementary level or above in Closed Restricted classes without being a member of AHDC. (Text Sally (Secretary) on 0429 190 653 for further information). No grading points are accrued at this level.
AHDC members will have Member Discounts applied automatically by Nominate at the final stages of entry.
