COVID-19 Statement: We are following the guidance of the USEF and the state of Maryland. We expect that those who believe they have been exposed to the Coronavirus, who are under mandatory self-isolation orders OR who are showing COVID-19 related symptoms to stay at home. Following recent changes in CDC recommendations and by the Governor of Maryland, masks are not required outside except when physical distancing is not possible.

USEF rules for dressage apply; know them. Anyquestions? Ask the show manager.

USEF approved helmets with harnesses are mandatory for Juniors. Hard hats must be worn by all riders at all times when mounted, except FEI levels.

Definition of a Junior Rider: Riders are Juniors up to and throughout the year in which they turn 18.  The following year, they are considered Seniors. Example: if Jane Doe turns 18 on July 7, 2020, she competes as a Junior throughout 2020. Beginning January 1, 2021, she competes as a Senior.

Definition of a Vintage Rider: Any rider 40 or older at the time of the show.

Junior and Vintage Classes: Riders may register as Junior or Vintage Riders when entering the show. They will be scheduled in the appropriate classes accordingto the tests they are riding (if a designated junior rider is riding Training 2, s/he will be scheduled in the regular Training 2 class). If there are enough riders in the class, they may be pinned separately at the show manager’s discretion. Generally, this will mean there must be at least three non-age designated riders and at least three Junior or three Vintage riders to split the class. Otherwise, Juniors and Vintage will be pinned together with all other entries in the class.

Awards

Six place-ribbons are awarded for each class, except Critique. Champion & Reserve are awarded bylevel. Champion & Reserve will be awarded at Introductory, Training, First, Second Level & above, Eventing, and Western, if there are three or more qualifiers for the level. Horse/rider combinations must have at least two scores at the level to qualify for Champion & Reserve. Scores from Critique Class will be averaged with regular dressage test scores of the same level.

A horse may be entered in no more than 3 walk/trot/canter tests; no limit for walk/trot tests.

Only one Critique class at any level may be entered.
