June Walk Only Test

Welcome to our June Walk Only Test – a gentle introduction to bridleless dressage competition.

Designed to celebrate trust, communication and partnership, this walk-only test provides a relaxed and supportive environment for riders and horses at any stage of their bridleless journey. Whether you're exploring neck rope riding with a bridle for reassurance or developing greater harmony with your horse, this class offers an opportunity to showcase the connection you have built together.

The focus is not on perfection, but on partnership. Judges will be looking for calm, willing cooperation, clear communication, softness, balance and the overall harmony between horse and rider. We encourage riders to ride with kindness, confidence and respect for their horse's individual stage of development (utilise class sections to be in with partnerships of similar levels).

This class can be ridden from a 20 x 40 dressage arena and submitted via video from the comfort of your own venue. Take your time, enjoy the experience, and share your journey with our welcoming bridleless community.

Every partnership has a story. We'd love to see yours.
