Schoolers is dressage for the rider getting better — whatever level, wherever you are. Scoresheet and video commentary on every test, a class riding alongside you, and a leaderboard that rewards progress.
We care about the quality of your riding, not what you're wearing. Wear what you train in. No plaiting or competition dress required.
Your judge will assess your horse's way of going — rhythm, suppleness, connection, impulsion, straightness, collection. The fundamentals that matter at every level.
English, western, baroque, bitless — a range of tack choices are welcome. Full guidelines on our rules page.
Save an hour and the rubber bands. No plaiting required — just film at a time that suits you and your horse.
No competition whites, no show jacket required. Ride in what you train in.
Grass, sand, indoor — wherever you train. Film on the ground your horse knows best.
Submit a one-off Training Test or sign up to the Schoolers Series, then choose your level — Level 0 (Introductory) through to Level 7. Download your test sheet, which includes arena diagrams created specifically for Schoolers Dressage Online.
Choose a day and time that suit you and your horse. Film in landscape from the C marker with the whole arena in frame — ride it as often as you like and submit your best effort.
Upload your video to YouTube (public or unlisted) and paste the link through our online entry form.
Your judge reviews your test and returns a full scoresheet, plus an audio coaching walkthrough — a video of your judge talking through your test as it plays, with guidance on what to work on next. Results returned within seven working days.
Feedback on your terms. No deadline, no board — film when your horse feels ready and your results come straight to you.
