CDCTA Combined Test
May 3, 2025
Join us for a low-key, friendly introduction to Eventing or opt to ride Dressage only. This is a great schooling opportunity for both green and seasoned riders!
- Dressage in a bluestone arena
- XC and warm-up on grass
- XC courses are un-timed, inviting, and slightly below standard height for each level — a great introduction with some challenging but optional questions.
Ride Format:
- Ride your dressage test at a scheduled time
- Then, change gear and ride your XC course within your level’s window.
- Dressage Judge: Halley Bell — offering helpful comments at the end of your test!
