REQUIREMENTS FOR SADDLERY AND HORSE EQUIPMENT
The horse saddlery and the other equipment has to meet the general demands for horse equipment in the sphere of protection of animals. Saddlery and other equipment must not hurt the horse or cause discomfort.
SIDESADDLES – for dressage competitions two pommel sidesaddles with any type of protective stirrups are required. Riders using other types of saddles without the lower pommel and riders using reitgurts will not be allowed to enter the arena for safety reasons. Saddles which do not meet the requirement of this category are permitted only to enter the category „historical costumes“.
BRIDLES - bridles have to match the requirements for bridles used for showjumping, or dressage competitions.
REQUIREMENTS FOR RIDERS EQUIPMENT
RIDERS DRESS - The dress code is a ladies riding dress, a combination of a short coat and a riding apron. Every rider = a riding helmet.
Riders need not wear side saddle habits if they do not have one and may ride in a black short coat, white blouse and white breeches due to the high costs of buying the whole riding ensemble.
A black riding apron in a suitable size will be available to borrow for riding in the arena, you may ride without an apron if you wish and will not be penalised for this.
OTHER AIDS – Riders are allowed to use artificial riding aids - a whip, a dressage whip, a riding cane and a spur. Each of these aids has to meet the standard of S.S.A.
