Clarification of Novice Points – EA Dressage Rules 2017

Clarification of Novice Points – EA Dressage Rules 2017

Update issued by Australian Dressage Committee.

Following enquiries, the Australian Dressage Committee wishes to clarify the status of Novice Grading Points earned prior to January 1st 2017. 

2017 EA Dressage Rule 1.16 (g) states:

Points are accrued when the horse or pony gains 61% or above in Official Competitive competitions from Elementary level and above.

The intention of the rule change is to allow horses to gain confidence without the pressure of acquiring grading points too quickly in the formative stage of their careers.
