Schoolers is dressage for the rider getting better — whatever level, wherever you are. Scoresheet and video commentary on every test, and a leaderboard that rewards progress.
Schoolers has one goal — better riders, better trainers. The Schoolers Series includes three rounds, each with a scoresheet and video commentary to help you improve.
Three judged tests for you and your horse that measure progress — no expiry.
Every ride comes back with a full scoresheet and your judge’s video walkthrough for tips and information to help you improve.
Your three scores draw your progress line. The climb is what counts! To be eligible for prizes, make sure you ride the three tests at one level within three months — see the leaderboard.
Prices in NZD, no membership or affiliation requirements. Additional costs apply for shipping of physical prizes to countries outside New Zealand.
