*Open to EA Members*

Conducted by Equestrian Queensland & Dressage Queensland

Round 1 – January 2021

Round 2 – February/March 2021

Round 3 - April 2021

Nominations are via http://www.nominate.com.au/

On close of entries and following entry checks entrants will need to join a closed Facebook group on the Dressage Queensland page.
A post/thread will be created for each class. Participants are to post their video in the comments section of their nominated class/es. Participants may upload their video to youtube or similar and post the link in the comments. Entrants will have 7 days to upload their video.

The goal of this event is to provide a fun opportunity for riders to participate from their homes. A fantastic initiative that began in 2020 during the COVID-19 event restrictions.

Each round of the Virtual Dressage Series will be classified as "Participant" and will not be a "Competitive" (Official) event. Results will not count towards end of year DQ Awards.

Classes will be available from Preparatory to Grand Prix.

A series winner will be decided from the best performing combinations at each EA level and FEI Tour.

All classes will be judged by EA-accredited judges appropriate to the level, as per the Equestrian Australia National Dressage Rules effective 1 January 2021.
