Win whenever you beat your best Schoolers Score.
Feedback from a judge usually means show day. Not any more.
Many riders only get in front of a dressage judge a handful of times a year, if at all. Schoolers PRX™ brings an experienced eye to your own arena - at your convenience. Ride a test at home, send us the video, and get a full scoresheet and a spoken walkthrough back from the judge’s seat.
Our head judge is Bill Noble: an experienced dressage judge, Olympic coach, Grand Prix trainer and NZ Hall of Fame inductee. Every test is marked the way it would be at a show and explained the way it would be in a lesson, so you know exactly what to work on next.
What is PRX™?The PRX™ benchmarking format lets us celebrate and reward your progress every time you beat your best score. It's how we help you stay motivated, whatever the season.
Your best Personal Result (PR) is tracked per level, per horse and rider combination. Your first test at a level gets you on the board. Every time you set a new PR, you're rewarded. Move up a level, or ride a new horse, and you start a fresh line.
With Schoolers you get access to feedback from top dressage judges, trainers and coaches. You don't just get the score and scoresheet. Every entry comes also with an extensive video commentary walkthrough, to help you train and progress with your horse.
Voice-over coaching on your own test video. Bill talks you through every movement.
Entering a test is easy. Select a Schoolers test, film it in your home arena (any arena will do: sand, grass, makeshift) and submit your entry to join the rankings. You'll get feedback within seven working days and a place on the rankings under your real name or an alias, per horse and rider combination. Ride more than one test at a level to qualify for ribbons whenever you beat your best score.
Entries always open. We're ready and waiting.
NZ$49 per test. Any level. Paid when you submit.
Bill Noble & ‘Vinny’ Vincent St James (Thoroughbred-stationbred cross gelding) who famously won three consecutive Grand Prix Dressage Horse of the Year titles and the Bürkner Medal.
Bill Noble is one of New Zealand's most decorated dressage figures — a rider, trainer and judge whose career spans Grand Prix and the Olympic stage over four decades.
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 Grand Prix, you'll receive the same considered feedback.
A career honoured by the sport's highest national recognition.
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.
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 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.
Dressage riders, eventers, and any discipline where flatwork improves performance.

Benefits of training dressage tests
Why every rider, not just the competitive ones, should ride more tests at home, learn the test themselves, and let go of the caller at the rail.
Bill Noble · May 2026
Two ways to video a Schoolers test: a friend at C with a phone, or riding alone with a Pivo Pod. Example videos, our tested settings, and honest expectations.

A paddock, a tape measure, or just your own two feet. The 20×40 and 20×60 layouts with every letter, and the diagonal trick that squares your corners.

Bill separates the horses that can learn the Grand Prix movements from the ones with the talent to truly perform them, and explains why the quality of the early work decides which one you end up sitting on.
Bill takes your questions and gives a balanced view of gadgets in training, with a framework you can use in your own work at home.
If you've ever felt confused about the outside rein, the half-halt or the collected walk, you're not alone. Bill was too, which is why he's so good at breaking them down.
