Orkney Riding Club | DRESSAGE and HELP NEEDED

03 March 2025Winter Woolies Show - SATURDAY 22nd March

https://www.orkneycommunities.co.uk/ridingclub/documents/2025-ww-schedule.docx

Once again we are so very grateful to Cooke Scotland for supporting this event. We have a visiting judge booked, and hope to see lots of you enter some classes with your horses. It's an OPEN Show so everyone welcome. The Inhand classes will run in the morning, with the Ridden classes following after lunch, and we will have a tie-up area inside so you don't have to wait out in the cold.

The Schedule is on the link above. You can enter as many classes as you are eligible for. There will be no clashes as there is just the one ring running, so make all the plaiting, preening and polishing worthwhile by taking part in lots of classes.

Please make sure your entries are in by Wednesday 19th March.

18 February 2025DRESSAGE and HELP NEEDED

The 2025 Dressage League is now underway. It's an Open event, so everyone is welcome, and you don't need to ride at all the dates.

You can ride as many tests as you want.

Tests can be called.

Points will be awarded separately for Riding Club and Pony Club, although RC/PC may run in one class, depending on numbers.

There is also a Non League LONG Arena Test which can be ridden for £5. It will be judged and scored but no rosettes - this is for anyone who would like to give the long arena tests a go.

HELP REQUIRED.

For the Dressage to be able to run we are looking for some folk who would be willing to help the judges - it could be Writing or Scoring / Sorting Rosettes - training will be given to anyone who wants it. They say it would be ideal to have a bank of folk they could call on when required, and you wouldn't necessarily have to do every dressage date. It would be super to see the Dressage League continue to thrive with Tracey and Joy - if you are willing to go on their Helper List, or want to know more about what's involved send them a message or email [email protected] and we'll pass it on.

The 2025 League tests are Intro 3, Prelim 1, Prelim 3 and Novice 1, and they can be found on the links below and there's an extra Non-League Long Arena Test which can be ridden at the reduced fee of £5 for anyone wanting to try the long boards.
