Ride as you are

No plaits.
No dress code.
Just ride.

The Training Tests programme is exactly that — training. We care about the quality of your riding, not what you're wearing. Wear what you train in. No plaiting or competition dress required.

Your judge will assess your horse's way of going — rhythm, suppleness, connection, impulsion, straightness, collection. The fundamentals that matter at every level.

×

Flexible Tack Rules

English, western, baroque, bitless — a range of tack choices are welcome. Full guidelines on our rules page.

×

No plaiting

Save an hour and the rubber bands. No plaiting required — just film at a time that suits you and your horse.

×

Everyday attire

No competition whites, no show jacket required. Ride in what you train in.

×

Your arena

Grass, sand, indoor — wherever you train. Film on the ground your horse knows best.

Head Judge Bill Noble
Our Judge

Hall of Fame. Your scoresheet.

For most riders, that calibre of eye is something you travel for. Through Schoolers Dressage Online, it's the eye watching your test. Whether you're at Introductory or Advanced, you'll receive the same considered feedback.

NZ Hall of Fame

A career honoured by the sport's highest national recognition.

Grand Prix Trainer

Trained with Herbert Rehbein in Germany, and offered places at the Swedish National Equestrian Academy and the Spanish Riding School. He has carried that foundation into every horse he's brought through to the top of the sport, with more than a dozen taken to Grand Prix under his hand.

Olympic Coach

Coach to Sir Mark Todd at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics — where Todd and Charisma took individual gold — and then to the New Zealand Eventing Team at Seoul 1988.

Five Time NZ Horse of the Year

Five Horse of the Year titles on three different horses — the only rider to win three consecutive Dressage HOY crowns. A leading British trainer before emigrating to New Zealand in the 1990s; now based in Cambridge, Waikato.
