Competition

Dressage and Combined Tests

Students will be informed when show dates become available. While it will be first come first serve, Overly Stables will do their best to ensure as many students as possible have the opportunity to compete throughout the year. Unfortunately, not all students can attend every show as we only have a limited number of horses and ability to use them at each show.
Show fees are usually specified on prize lists provided by the show secretary. Each student is responsible for registering for their respective classes and paying the required fees as directed by the show and coordinated through their instructor. In addition to the show fees, there is an additional coaching fee of $75 per student ($50 per student who brings their own horse) made payable to Overly Stables which is due in full prior to the event. Only students who are current on payments and who have not missed more than two lessons within three months prior to the event will be eligible for competition. A maximum of 8 students will attend each show depending on the availability of horses.
Show attire for these events is casual. Riding breeches or jodphurs with a solid shirt or polo is appropriate. Paddock boots or tall dress boots must be worn in addition to an ASTM/SEI certified riding helmet. However, for those who would prefer a more formal turnout for photographic purposes, buff or tan breeches with a white, collared show shirt, and a solid black or navy blue jacket is also fine. Helmet covers are not required for colored helmets, but may be worn if preferred.
