The British Dressage (BD) Quest Championships are a highlight of the dressage calendar for many riders. But plenty may be asking, what is Quest dressage, and how does it work? With this year’s long-awaited championships just around the corner on 28-31 October at Bury Farm, Bucks, we explain all you might have wanted to know about Quest dressage.
What is Quest dressage?
Quest competitions, which are sponsored by Saracen Horse Feeds from 2021, are designed to act as an introduction to BD, with taking part and having fun as the main targets for participants. You can compete as part of a team in Team Quest, or as an individual in My Quest, or both.
Do I need to be a British Dressage member to compete in Quest?
You do not have to have full BD membership to compete in Quest, but you do need to have Club membership, which is aimed at those starting out on their competition journey, including competing in Quest. You can register yourself and your horse as BD Club members for just £45 per year.
What levels are there in Quest dressage?
There are three levels to choose from in both Team Quest and My Quest: intro, prelim and novice. You and your horse must be eligible for the level that you choose to ride at, so it’s best to check the BD rulebook in advance. Intro is the easiest level, with just walk and trot required in the test. Prelim is the next level up, and involves 20m circles in trot and canter, while novice is the highest of the three Quest levels and tests include lengthened strides in trot, and half 15m circles in canter.
There are also two age categories: under-21 and open.
* Anna can call £2.50 per test, ask her on the day
* you can choose how many minutes you'd like between 2 tests
* Arena walks throughout the day
* Steward for riders on there own
