Some information about the FEI Children Tests for those thinking about entering the Victorian Youth Dressage Championships. At the 2025 event we are giving young riders Championships in either the FEI Children A & B Tests or, the FEI Children Team & Individual. Open to riders who turn 12 in 2025 and to the end of the year (2025) in which you turn 14. The A & B tests are fairly simple:Working trot and canter, medium walk, 15m circles in canter, 4 loop serpentine in trot, half voltes, lengthen in trot, simple change, small amount of collected canter with a give and retake the reins and canter/walk transitions, stretch trot. The Team and Individual tests ask for more:Working and medium trot. Leg yield. Turn on the haunches. Working, collected and medium canter. Simple changes. Give and retake the reins. There will be separate Championships for A & B and Team & Individual. The BIG difference is in the judging. There will one judge overseeing the technical (normal test) and two quality judges (see marking sheet below) These tests are so good at giving you guidance over all aspects of your training and performance. Tests can be found at (scroll down to the Children tests) inside.fei.org/fei/your-role/organisers/dressage/tests and more information about what the judges are looking for can be found at, specifically pages 54-57inside.fei.org/sites/default/files/FEI%20Dressage%20Judging%20Manual%20-%20Effective%201%20Januar...So that is a fast trip through the FEI Children Tests, they are very well crafted and offer riders a clear indication of how their training is progressing. Quality and Technical. A great introduction to competition dressage. If you need any more information email admin@vydc.org.au. ... See MoreSee Less
