ONE DAY EVENTS – DRESSAGE 2017
DRESSAGE
The FEI Dressage Rules apply for the Eventing Dressage Test at EI Competitions except where
otherwise provided in these Eventing Rules. Any modification introduced to the FEI Dressage
Rules during the year will be evaluated for inclusion in these Eventing Rules from 1 st January the
following year.
EXECUTION OF THE TESTS
All tests must be carried out entirely from memory, and all movements must follow in the order`
set forth in the test.
Sound of bell
After the sound of the bell, the Athlete must enter the arena at A within forty five (45)
seconds.
In the event that the Horse starts to defecate or urinate, the clock / watch will be stopped
until the Horse is ready to continue at which point the clock / watch will be restarted.
Salute
Athletes must take the reins in one (1) hand at the salute. Athletes wearing a top hat have
the choice to take the hat off or just to nod.
Error of course
When an Athlete makes an “error of course” (takes the wrong turn, omits a movement,
etc.) the Judge at C warns him, by sounding the bell. The Judge at C shows him, if
necessary, the point at which he must take up the test again and the next movement to be
executed, then leaves him to continue by himself. However, in some cases when,
although the Athlete makes an “error of course”, the sounding of the bell would
unnecessarily impede the fluency of the performance - for instance if the competitor
makes a transition from working trot to medium walk at V instead of K, or makes a
transition to canter at F instead of A - it is up to the Judge at C to decide whether to sound
the bell or not. However, if the bell is not sounded at an error of course and the test
requires the same movement to be repeated and the Athlete again makes the same error,
the Athlete is only penalised once.
The decision as to whether or not an error of course has been made will be at the sole
discretion of the Judge at C. The other Judges’ scores will be adapted accordingly.
Error of test/execution
When an Athlete makes an “error of the execution of the test” (trots rising instead of
sitting, at the salute does not take the reins in one hand, etc.) he must be penalised as for
an “error of course”. In principle an Athlete is not allowed to repeat a movement of the test
unless the Judge at C decides on an error of course (sounds the bell). If, however, the
Athlete has started the execution of a movement and attempts to do the same movement
again, the Judges must consider the first movement shown only and at the same time,
penalise for an error of course.
Unnoticed error
If the Judge(s) has not noted an error, the Athlete has the benefit of the doubt and will
therefore not be penalised for the error.
Penalties
Error of Course
Every error of course, whether the bell is sounded or not, must be penalised, except as
noted above.
First error Two (2) points.
ei dressage judging at events 2017.doc 1
Judging at Eventing Ireland Events
Second error Four (4) points.
Third error Elimination.
Other Errors
All of the following are considered errors, and two (2) points will be deducted per error,
but they are not cumulative and will not result in Elimination:
Entering the space around the arena (as defined in Rule 71) with whip or with
boots/bandages on the Horse’s legs or with discrepancy in dress (e.g. lack of
gloves);
Entering the Dressage arena with whip or with boots/bandages on the Horse’s
legs or with discrepancy in dress (e.g. lack of gloves); If the test has already
started before the discrepancy has been noticed, the Judge at C stops the Athlete
and if needed and possible, an assistant may enter the arena to remove the
item(s). The athlete then continues the test either starting from the beginning
(from the inside of the arena) or from the movement where he was stopped. The
marks given before he was stopped are not changed:
Entering the arena before the sound of the bell;
Not entering the arena within forty five (45) seconds after the bell, but within
ninety (90) seconds;
Elimination
Penalty Points
The penalty points are deducted on each Judge's sheet from the total points obtained by the
Athlete.
Reasons for Elimination
Lameness In a case of marked lameness, the Judge at C informs the Athlete that he is
eliminated. There is no appeal against this decision
Resistance Any resistance which prevents the continuation of the test longer than twenty
(20) seconds is punished by Elimination. However, resistance that may
endanger Athlete, Horse, Judges or the public will be result in elimination for
safety reasons earlier than within twenty (20) seconds. This also applies to any
resistance before the entering the Dressage arena or when leaving the arena.
Fall In the case of a fall of a Horse and/or an Athlete, the Athlete will incur
Elimination (see Rules Error! Reference source not found. and Rule Error!
Reference source not found.)
Leaving Arena A horse is eliminated if, during a test, it leaves the arena when the surround is
During Test 23cms or higher.
Outside Any outside help by voice, signs, etc. is considered as illegal or unauthorised
Assistance assistance to an Athlete or to his Horse. An Athlete or Horse receiving positive
assistance must be Eliminated.
Bleeding If the Judge at C suspects fresh blood anywhere on the Horse during the test,
he will stop the Horse to check for blood. If the Horse shows fresh blood, it will
be eliminated.
The elimination is final. If the Judge through examination clarifies that the
Horse has no fresh blood, the Horse may resume and finish its test.
Other Horse and Athlete combination not being able to fulfil the requirements of
Reasons For the level

Dressage Arena Layout
Arenas should be set out to the dimensions shown in the diagrams in Appendix a & b
The arena should be level and separated by a distance all round of 15m for international
competitions and at least 10m for other events if more room is not available. Roping of the area
should be used where necessary to prevent intrusion.
The arenas should be marked in the following ways:
a) By a continuous surround of white boards, or
ei dressage judging at events 2017.doc 3
Judging at Eventing Ireland Events
b) By intermittent white boards placed at each corner and opposite each marker as a
minimum.
The letters outside the enclosure should be placed about 0.5m from the board (with the exception
of A which should be 10m back from the entrance) and clearly marked. It is helpful to place a
special marker on the board itself [with coloured tape] level with and in addition to the letter
concerned.
The centre line, throughout its length, and the points D, L, X, I and G, if described in the relevant
test, should be clearly marked, without, however, being of a nature to frighten horses. On that
account it is recommended that on a grass arena the centre line is mown shorter than the other
parts of the arena, and on a sand arena the centre line is rolled or raked. The points D, L, X, I and
G should be similarly mown, rolled or raked, about 2m straight across the centre line.
DRESS
SADDLERY AND EQUIPMENT
Inspection of saddlery
A steward should be appointed to check the saddlery of each horse before it enters the arena or
starts a test/phase, but the athlete remains responsible for complying with the rules on
saddlery.
Before the Dressage Test, the checking of the bridle must be done with the greatest caution. If
the athlete requests, the bridle may be checked immediately after the test has been completed.
However, should the bridle or bit in such a case be found not to be permitted, the athlete shall be
eliminated.
Please refer to APPENDIX c & d: Permitted Bits All Phases And APPENDIX E: Permitted Reins

All protective headgear worn in all EI Competitions must show a visible current EI hat tag.
Untagged hats must be checked and tagged before being used to compete in the
appropriate phase.
Wearing untagged or incorrect headgear for a phase could result in a penalty at the

EI Head Cam Agreement Form, confirming the wearing of a Head Cam is at their own risk
and have this approved by the Steward on the day.
New forms must be completed each time an athlete wishes to wear a Head Cam. Forms
will be available from the Event Secretary. Failure to do this will result in a fine of €50.00.
Athletes must be in their 18th year or older – underage athletes will not be considered.
The camera must be mounted to the helmet by an easily detachable method (Velcro or
elastic) and the integrity of the crash helmet must not be compromised. Cameras must

check their body protectors on a regular basis and to replace them if damaged. It is strongly
advised that the body protector should not impede flexibility or balance.
