ADC Directive on Levels, Starting Possibilities and new EA FEI Medium Tour Freestyle
INTRODUCTION
1. This Directive is effective 1 May 2014.
2. The new Intermediate A, B have been well received by riders and are perfect for the training program of the horses I have judged in them. It is clear that these tests have been very much needed as the bridge between Intermediate I and GP level.
3. However the ADC has had many questions from organisers of official shows how to develop their schedules with these new tests and keep within the rules of “no more than 2 FEI level competitions per day, may include a freestyle”. And, most importantly, respect the level of the combinations and not over face them, but provide appropriate competition.
4. ADC has also developed an Intro GP “Medium “ Tour Freestyle. It is attached. This has been developed jointly with FEI judge Katrina Wuest and will be a proposal to the FEI Dressage Committee for 2015. This will be effective from 1 May 2014.
This directive is intended to assist OCs and Clubs to develop their competition schedules with clear guidelines for riders.
