For those interested in schooling shows we offer Tuesday Evening Dressage that starts the first Tuesday in May and continues every other Tuesday for 8 weeks. In conjunction with our Combined Test and Schooling Horse Trials, we offer Schooling Dressage shows in April and in October. USEF and USDF recognized dressage shows. Dressage at the Park Shows are offered five times from the first weekend in May until the third weekend in October. Bucks County Horse Park also offers a USEF/USDF Dressage Sport Horse Breed Show.

The United States Equestrian Federation is currently offering Western Dressage tests. At this time the USEF patterns are only allowed in Schooling Shows or under the Morgan Horse Division. The BCHP Tuesday Evening Dressage Show will be offering Western Dressage tests. Information, guidelines and tests, can be found at www.WesternDressageAssociation.com.

We are pleased to announce plans for a BCHP Championship show. This will be held in conjunction with our Dressage at the Park V recognized USDF/USEF show and will be open to all competitors who have competed at any BCHP dressage show in 2011 in Training level or above. Those riders qualifying in Training and First Level will participate in the Opportunity Classes and will not require memberships for USDF or USEF. Those riders at Second Level and above will require USDF/USEF membership to compete. More information will be available soon.

Tuesday Evening Dressage (TEDS)
Eight Shows are held each summer bi-weekly and beginning May. Dressage tests offered include Introductory through Second Level, as well as USEA eventing tests. Year-end awards are offered at BCHP for this series. These shows are recognized by ESDCTA for their year end awards. These afternoon/evening mid week shows offer a format unique for dressage shows: on site registration, but this is a very popular show series so calling ahead to reserve your time is recommended. Tests are run in three rings from 2:30 to 8:00 PM and registration begins at 1:30pm

Dressage Schooling
Two schooling shows are offered in addition to the Tuesday Evening Dressage shows and will run concurrently along with the combined tests in April and October. Tests include Introductory through Fourth level and also Musical Freestyle Quadrilles and Pas de Deux. There will be a special class for those riders under 8 years of age. These shows also offer a "Fix a Test" where the competitor rides the test once, then the judge critiques the test before the competitor rides the test for a second time. A great training tool!
