Combined Training
British Dressage and the Ideal Saddle Company is delighted to be bring a unique mix of white boards and coloured poles into the competition calendar. The dressage element will run at Prelim and Novice levels with short arena tests and the showjumping from 70cm to 1metre so there’s a wider appeal for competitors.
The Ideal Saddles Combined Training Series is an exhilarating way to hone your dressage skill while working on your show jumping technique all with the chance of qualifying for a fabulous final.

| Prelim 18 (2002) | Maximum height 80cm |
| Novice 24 (2010) | Maximum height 90cm |
