Dressage Suitability:
This is a ridden class. Horses and riders enter the ring together and are asked to walk, trot. Judged on suitability to be a dressage horse. Tack and attire as for dressage tests.

The horse is evaluated by the judge in terms of its conformation and movement as a dressage horse. Generally, a nice dressage bridle is most appropriate. Walked and trotted at the judges' discretion. In very general terms, a dressage judge is going to look for a horse with balance, clean legs, deep girth and plenty of impulsion from the hindquarters. The horse needs to travel straight with good elasticity of gait.
