The goal of this event is to provide a fun opportunity for riders to participate from their homes. A fantastic initiative that began in 2020 during the COVID-19 event restrictions.
Each round of the Virtual Dressage Series will be classified as "Participant" and will not be a "Competitive" (Official) event. Results will not count towards end of year DQ Awards.
Classes will be available from Preparatory to Grand Prix.
A series winner will be decided from the best performing combinations at each EA level and FEI Tour.
All classes will be judged by EA-accredited judges appropriate to the level, as per the Equestrian Australia National Dressage Rules effective 1 January 2021.
