Current Wording – CDArticle951.1

At ADS-recognized events, current ADS Driven Dressage Tests must be used as published for Training, Preliminary and Intermediate divisions. ADS-Advanced division must use appropriate FEI Driven Dressage Tests.

Suggested Wording

At ADS-recognized events, current ADS Driven Dressage tests must be used for Training, Preliminary, and Intermediate Divisions and for Advanced Division in Arena Trials. Advanced Divisions in Driving Trials and Intermediate II Divisions use the appropriate FEI Driven Dressage tests.

Reason for change

Was approved already for last rule change cycle, but by mistake was omitted. To correspondent with Art 518, incl. 518.2 of ADS Rules for Driven Dressage, and to allow ADS development of ADS own Dressage Test as well as modification of FEI Tests for smaller arenas (VSE’s, ADT’s, HDT’s as well as CDE’s who don’t have room for 100 meter size arenas).

Combined Driving Committee approved this language:
At ADS-recognized events, current ADS Driven Dressage tests must be used for Training, Preliminary, and Intermediate Divisions and for Advanced Division in Arena Trials. Advanced Divisions in Driving Trials and Intermediate II Divisions use the appropriate FEI Driven Dressage tests.

    I understand your goal Hardy but I think that this proposal, coupled with the wording in 518, leaves a gap that doesn’t allow FEI tests for Intermediate II. Or am I missing something?

    Yes, Amanda, good catch! So we need to correct this to:

    At ADS-recognized events, current ADS Driven Dressage Tests must be used. At Intermediate II and ADS Advanced in Driving Trials, appropriate FEI Driven Dressage Tests can also be used.

    And I do hope, we can get some action on this, as it REALLY was approved already LAST YEAR and should have been in this year’s rule book already, and was only forgotten by mistake!
