The Walk/ Trot series is for :

• Riders who are beginners to dressage
• Young/inexperienced horses who have not yet established any canter work.

You cannot enter the Walk & Trot if :

• You have previously been Walk/ Trot Champion or Reserve Champion (as a horse/rider combination) in a WSRC dressage series.
• You are competing in the Prelim section (unless you enter H.C.)

The Prelim Series will be divided into two sections, with entry conditions as follows:

Section A

• For combinations who have not been placed in a Prelim test or higher in an open competition
• For combinations who have not won more than one first place in this section in this or a previous series

You cannot enter Section A if :

• If you have previously been Prelim Champion or Reserve Champion (as a horse/rider combination) in a WSRC dressage series.
• If you are competing in the Novice section (unless you enter H.C.)

Section B

• For combinations more established at Prelim level or who have previously been Prelim Champion or Reserve Champion in a WSRC series.

The Novice and Elementary series is open to any riding club member. These two tests will be run as a combined class with the final percentage denoting the winners.

Points will be awarded up to sixth place in each competition of the series. The overall winners of each section will win free membership of the Riding Club for the next membership year. The reserve champion for each series will win free instruction with the club up to the value of £15.

No plaiting is necessary but the usual Riding Club rules on dress, tack etc will apply. Please note this particularly covers wearing a hat of the current standard with a three point harness attached.

Depending on the number of entries received, the number of entries per person will be limited. Places will be allocated on a strictly first come, first served basis. People entering more than one horse may be balloted out if there are too many entries. Once the maximum number of entries has been received, later entries will be placed on a wait list for spaces that become available.

Catriona Moorwood has offered to provide half an hour’s instruction at a cost of £17.00 on Saturdays during the weekend, prior to the weekend of each competition. She will offer the opportunity to run through the test of your choice with her, and then spend the rest of the time available working with you and your horse as you wish. If you wish to take up this opportunity, WSRC will give you the special offer of half an hour’s instruction with Catriona and entry for one test for £20.00 inclusive!
