Tests should be ridden and will be judged under the rules of the relevant governing body. These can be seen online:
- British Dressage current rules
- British Eventing rules
- The Pony Club
- The Riding for the Disabled Association
Some modifications have been made to suit judging online and these are listed below. Every eventuality may not be provided for in the following but in any unforeseen or exceptional circumstance, Dressage Anywhere will make decisions in the sporting spirit in which this company is run. Dressage Anywhere reserves the right to amend these rules at short notice and it is advisable to check them on a regular basis.
Videos of tests must not be entered if they have already been judged in another competition. Any video which is suspected of having been filmed during another competition will not be accepted. In these circumstances no refund will be offered. For this reason if a show jacket or hacking jacket is worn, then the horse or pony must wear boots or bandages (no knee boots). Entries for The Pony Club and Riding for the Disabled classes are excluded from this rule.
The videographer must stand behind C on the edge of the arena so the rider enters the arena at A riding towards the camera or judge. It may be necessary to move the letters or display temporary ones if space or sun dictates it. See our help page for more video hints and tips.
Videos can be uploaded directly to www.dressageanywhere.com or YouTube. If uploading to YouTube you must e-mail the link to info@dressageanywhere.com before the competition closing date. Videos can also be posted on a CD, DVD or memory stick. Please contact Dressage Anywhere to request postal information.
Judges decisions are final. No communication or discussion will be entered into by Dressage Anywhere, any of its representatives or the judge involved.
Copyright laws must be adhered to when submitting any video footage or photographs or printed material. Dressage Anywhere will not be liable for any costs incurred as a result of infringement of copyright laws by any competitor or 3rd party.
