In order to comply with music licence requirements, Dressage to Music competitors at Moreton Morrell and the Championships must be either full members or music members of British Dressage (BD). BD are offering a special rate of £15 to Pony Club members wishing to be music members. Competitors must then register their music with BD on the ‘Music Licence Record Form’. Both the BD music membership form and the music licence record form are available from the Pony Club office.

Dressage To Music is marked o­n two main factors.

• First, your riding, for the same sort of things you get marked o­n in a ordinary dressage test
• The other aspect is something entirely new. Your choice of music. If you ride a huge cob down the arena to ballet music, then you're not going to get marked particularly well. Your choice is very important, and you must keep your horse in time with your music, and your horse should move at about the same pace as the music

Even dressage riders will tell you, regular dressage is o­nly a spectator sport for people who do it themselves, unlike show jumping or cross country. But Dressage To Music is also fun to watch. o­ne thing you must always remember is try to put a good show o­n for your audience. The judges will mark you o­n this as well.
