Driven Dressage
The Dressage competition can be said to be the foundation for the rest of the sport. In Dressage, horses or ponies and their drivers drive individually in specified patterns and gaits to demonstrate the skills, obedience, and development appropriate to their levels of training before the watchful eyes of one or more judges. Dressage develops and displays polish, discipline, and athleticism of equine and driver dancing together.
Marathon
After the showcase of beauty and control that is Dressage, the next competition is often the cross-country Marathon. Here, the driver tests his mettle and that of his horses or ponies in control of paces and speeds, agility, obedience, and endurance over distances of eight to eighteen kilometers.
Cones
Having proven their mettle in the control of Dressage and the jubilation of Marathon, pony or horse and driver must finally find that combination of boldness, agility, energy and precision that is Obstacle/Cones driving. In this competition, drivers and their steeds drive between precisely spaced pairs of cones over a prescribed course of up to 20 “obstacles” driven in correct sequence and direction and within an allowed time based on the size of equine and level of advancement.
