Combined Training

Combined Training is an equestrian discipline that combines Dressage and Showjumping. It involves a rider and the same horse competing in both phases on the same day.

 

Dressage

A test of the horse's training and obedience, judged on accuracy, precision, and movement.

 

Show Jumping

A test of the horse and rider's ability to clear a course of obstacles in a realistic time.

 

Tack and Equipment


Tack and equipment used in each discipline must adhere to the respective rules of that discipline. 

 

Scoring

Competitors are scored separately in each discipline, with penalties from the show Jumping phase deducted from the Dressage score. The winner is the combination with the highest final score.

FAQ

Where do I warm up?

We have separate warmup arenas for the Dressage and Showjumping. For Showjumping you warm up over two practice fences in the Showjumping arena. The main advantage is that you are on your own not in a busy collecting ring.

Am I allowed to have my Dressage test commanded?

Yes. If you would like to bring someone to call your Dressage test it is permitted.

Can I get help if needed?

We try to be as accommodating as possible but on occasions balancing the need of everyone can be challenging. Our competitors are really sportive of each other and often are happy to assist and support each other.
