We are excited to invite you to our 2025 Qualifying Dressage and Western Dressage Rally!
This rally is open to all ages and certifications (including uncertified members). Riders may have their tests read (no penalty).
Each team will set up a full rally tack room in a trailer supplied by the team. There will be a briefing Friday evening, a horse inspection to ensure soundness, and turnout inspections. Riders will have specific times for their turnout inspections and ride times. Timeliness is expected.
Rules: This rally will be governed by the 2025 USPC Horse Management Handbook, the 2025 USPC Dressage Rulebook, and the associated Newsletters. All competitors must adhere to the rules. Parents and adults must abide by the Adult Code of Conduct.
Teams: Each team will consist of 3-4 riders at any level, and a Stable Manager. Each team must have a chaperone (21 or older, chaperones may also be volunteers). Senior competitors (18 and up) do not require a chaperone. Divisions are Senior, Junior, and leadline. If any competitor is over 18, the team will be competing as a senior team. The leadline division is geared towards members that are generally 7 and under and are working towards rallying independently. This division may use leadlines but they are not required. The leadline teams will consist of 3-4 riders, an adult stable manager to provide oversight, and one or more C advisors to guide them through the rally.
