Don’t miss out on the opportunity to participate in the third leg of the 2018 Para-Dressage Video Competition Series. The deadline for submission is coming up quickly on April 15, 2018.
The third leg of the series will feature two top para-dressage judges as video evaluators. EC Dressage, Para-Dressage and Eventing Judge, Judy Turner of Abbotsford, BC will judge Classes #1-13. Classes #14-16 will be judged by retired FEI 4* Para-Dressage Judge, Chris Porterfield (GBR).
New Online Video Portal
The 2018 Para-Dressage Video Competition Series features a new online portal that allows athletes to upload video entries for online review and evaluation from an EC certified para-dressage judge. The portal features the ability to pause, rewind and play the submitted video while simultaneously reviewing the judge’s remarks. This resource provides a great opportunity for riders to implement a judge’s feedback and develop their skills in a competition environment.
