They give you a mark out of ten for how well you carry out each instruction. At the end of the test the marks are added up and the winner is the horse and rider with the highest score.<\/p>\n<p>Come along to flat-work rallies and dressage training to see your friends and improve your way of going, it will help your show jumping too!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dressage to Music<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a fun competition that anyone can try. You ride a dressage test along to music. The test has to include walk, trot and canter on both reins but you can choose what order to put them in. Extra marks out of ten are given for how interesting your test is and how well the music goes with it.<\/p>\n<p>Dressage to music can be done in pairs too. Marks out of ten are given by the judge for how well the ponies perform the test together. It helps to have two ponies that are similar sizes.<\/p>\n<p>Qualification at Area Level is not necessary for the Dressage to Music Competition.<\/p>\n                                            <div class=\"btn-repeater\">\r\n                                                                                                <a href=\"https:\/\/pcuk.org\/dressage\/\" class=\"btn btn-default purple text-white\" >\r\n                                        Dressage Tests                                        <span class=\"arrow\">\r\n                                                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" version=\"1.1\" id=\"Layer_1\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 69.32 46.51\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 69.32 46.51;\" xml:space=\"preserve\">\r\n                                                    <path d=\"M43.79,2l-3.55,3.81l15.97,14.85H5.27c-1.44,0-2.6,1.16-2.6,2.6s1.16,2.6,2.6,2.6h50.97L40.25,40.7l3.55,3.81l22.86-21.25  L43.79,2z\" fill=\"white\"><\/path>\r\n                                                <\/svg>\r\n                                            <\/span>\r\n                                    <\/a>\r\n                                                                                                                                <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.pcuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/RULEBOOK-Dressage-2026-Web.pdf\" class=\"btn-default btn-transparent-outline\" >\r\n                                        Dressage Rule Book                                         <span class=\"arrow\">\r\n                                                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" version=\"1.1\" id=\"Layer_1\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 69.32 46.51\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 69.32 46.51;\" xml:space=\"preserve\">\r\n                                                    <path d=\"M43.79,2l-3.55,3.81l15.97,14.85H5.27c-1.44,0-2.6,1.16-2.6,2.6s1.16,2.6,2.6,2.6h50.97L40.25,40.7l3.55,3.81l22.86-21.25  L43.79,2z\" fill=\"white\"><\/path>\r\n                                                <\/svg>\r\n                                            <\/span>\r\n                                    <\/a>\r\n                                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/branches.pcuk.org\/northshropshire\/branch-information\/dressage\/\">Read More&#8230;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> from Dressage<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":212,"featured_media":0,"parent":1033,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1301","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
