The Schedule for our virtual RQ and the one for the virtual Nat Champs taking place in September is now available.
The Schedule covers all the classes - Dressage, Countryside Challenge, Arts& Crafts and Musical Ride.
The Dressage Tests are available on MyRDA under National Championships/Dressage where you can download all the Tests and Scoresheets.
More information will be provided as soon as we have confirmation that our Schedule has gone live on Horse Monkey and you can upload entries.
This does not stop you from starting to practice the tests and filming.
Advice on where best to film a test is also available from My RDA under National Championships.
As you may recall from Sue Mack's talk on Countryside Challenge, to help you get an accurate and useful recording of the test, it is best for the person doing the filming to follow the participant round the course. For those who were unable to attend the Forum, Sue as made a YouTube Clip which is available through the link on MyRDA which gives you a step by step guide to how to set up a course as well as what a judge will be marking. To assist with this Sue has kindly sent through the two scoresheets that will be used for the event. Sue will judge our entries and recommended that you record two separate videos at the same time, one for the RQ and one for the Nat Champs. If you have any questions relating to Countryside Challenge, Sue is very happy to answer them. Her email is: suemackRDA@gmail.com .
Please contact Kim if you have any questions.
