Dressage Fees for 2019/20

The Dressage Board presented a draft budget to the Planning Forum in April noting no increases to annual start fees had been made for two years, and with the recommendation that fees increased to keep pace with inflation and a projected increase in ESNZ service fees. The Planning Forum requested the Board increase both annual start fees and TD levies to meet the proposed budget income. The increases are to be apportioned as follows:

Dressage Annual Start Fees from 1 July 2019
Level 1 Annual Start Fee: $5 increase to $75.00
Level 2 and above Annual Start Fee: $15 increase to $115.00

Dressage T & D Levies from 1 August 2019
All Training & Local Events: $0.50 increase to $3.50 per start
Regional, National & Other Named Events: $1.00 increase to $4.00 per start

The 2019 Dressage Tests
Work is progressing well towards the implementation date of 1 August 2019. There are limited listed shows on the calendar in August giving a good trial period for all the new systems required to be put in place. Please note there may be some minor changes, mainly to text, but the basic content of the tests will be the same as the source version where noted. New NZ tests (Medium & Freestyle), will be published online no later than the 30th June.

Tests at all levels are progressively more difficult from Test A through C.

Dressage NZ wishes to thank Equestrian Australia and the USDF for their collaboration.
