RDA UK Musical Ride/C.Drive (Video/DVD) COMPETITION 2007

RDA UK MUSICAL RIDE/C.DRIVE (VIDEO/DVD) COMPETITION 2007 Classes 53, 54, 55, 56 & 57 Rules and Guidelines apply equally to Open Classes (Open classes refer to Overseas RDA Groups)

Music has been shown to be a powerful element which can be exploited to improve and energise the performance of both horse and rider/c.driver.  We would like to encourage, through this competition, a wider use of music in RDA Group Sessions. 

RDA UK  hopes to encourage more International Groups to enter this competition and the Championship Committee has decided that there will now be four classes.  Each category will include a class for Groups who would like to, and are able to, submit edited versions of their ride/c.drive  and a class for those Groups who do not have the facilities,  resources or desire for editing and would like to enter a recording of a ‘one off’ performance which has not been edited.

Please refer to the guidelines via the following link Musical Ride Drive 6th Nov final copy.pdf for more information.

Do you dream of riding for Australia at the Paralympic games? Are you currently competing successfully in dressage at your Pony Club, Adult Riding Club or with the EFA?

Squad Fundraising
If you would like to help the team to fundraise Some ideas are:

1. Sponser part of a horse for the Paralympics - prices vary for different areas of the horse.

2. Straddle a saddle for the Paralympics- Ride your horse with your club or friends and send a donation.

3. Organise for a rider to come and speak to your club about their experiences.
