Following the FEI introduction of the 7yo Young Dressage Horse classes in 2016, now held at the Longines FEI/WBFSH World Breeding Dressage Championships for Young Horses, the EA Dressage rules have now been updated.

As the Young Dressage Horse/Pony season in Australia runs from 1 July to 30 June it is a priority for the 7yo Young Dressage Horse structure to be effective from this date.

The 7yo class is a vital “stepping stone” for these horses (training currently at EA Advanced level) into the FEI Small Tour programme (Prix St. Georges and Intermediate I), the precursor to FEI Big Tour competition.

With the judging of these classes by trained FEI and EA Young Horse judges, all parties will receive the best feedback on their horse’s progress towards success at these higher levels.
