Online Working Equitation Competitions

How it Works:

Each month competitors will ride a dressage test (see below for test downloads) followed by 5 obstacles from the ease of handling phase that you can make at home, in your school, in your ménage, or even in a corner of your field.

We will show you how you can create obstacles using items you have around the yard or can very easily source without big cost. You can find our free obstacle making and obstacle riding resources here: https://www.equus.training/we-at-home

The online training events can be videoed in your own time uploaded to YouTube and the links submitted to the platform when you are ready, in time for the upload closing date.

Making your entry:

1. Enter your details on the form just as you would for a normal event. Add the entry to your basket and checkout. Multiple entries for multiple riders and / or dates can be added to your cart and paid for at the same time.
2. Once your entry is confirmed you can start practicing and recording your dressage test and individual obstacles.
3. When you have your videos ready and you are happy to submit them, upload them to Youtube as an unlisted video, copying and pasting the links into a "video upload" item here: https://www.equus.training/shop/Online-Working-Equ...
   Note, you will need to have already entered and paid for your entry before you submit your video links. The video upload is a free "item" that will ask you for the confirmed order number from your entry that will allow us to match your videos to your entry. Full details of how to create an unlisted video can be found on the video upload item https://www.equus.training/shop/Online-Working-Equ...
4. Sit back and wait for your feedback and results.
