Guidelines for Breed Show Competitors (compliments of USDF)
• Bridle numbers must be worn at all times when out of the barn. This includes non-competing horses.
• Mares and stallions must stay on designated sides of the warm up area. Colts of the current year accompanied by their
dams must stay on the mare’s side of the warm up area.
• One horse, one handler – ALWAYS – including mares with foals
• All horses age two and older must wear a bridle with approved snaffle type bit. This also applies to non-competing horses.
• Handlers and assistant handlers are identified with wristbands. Only those properly identified persons will be allowed
to accompany a horse into the competition area.
• Handlers and assistant handlers may carry one whip each. Assistant handlers may carry a standard lunge or shorter whip.
Whips may not have attachments of any type.
• Unauthorized assistance is forbidden under penalty of elimination. Any intervention by a third party with the object of
facilitating the task of the competitor including voice, signals, etc., is considered illegal assistance.
• Loud snapping whips or other disruptive noise making devices are not permitted in the warm up or competition areas.
• Protective headgear while mounted is strongly encouraged
• Boots or bandages of any kind are not permitted
• Start times are a “guesstimate” and for reference only. Listen for announcements of actual times. Breed classes may be up to 60
minutes ahead or behind posted times.
• Check in with the steward in charge of your competition arena.
• Remember that horses, especially young horses, react differently in new surroundings. Please stay alert for
unpredictable behavior.
Please refer to the USEF Rule Book DR 201-211 for complete Dressage Sport Horse rules.

CALIFORNIA DRESSAGE SOCIETY - STATEMENT ON ANIMAL WELFARE
The California Dressage Society, an organization of approximately 5,000 individual members, supports the concept of
humane and ethical treatment of all animals. Dressage is a classical method of the training of horses in which the
horse’s natural responses and athletic abilities become a capable responsive partnership with the rider. To this end the
California Dressage Society is committed to ensuring that owners, trainers, exhibitors and their agents use responsible
care in the training, handling, transportation and exhibition of horses. The California Dressage Society supports scientific
research on equine health and stress. The California Dressage Society is committed to the continuous review, revision
and development of competition rules and regulations to protect the welfare of horses. The California Dressage Society
firmly believes that horses are a vital part of its members’ life experience and as such deserve our protection and
compassion. Humans have an inseparable relationship with the natural world and animals. Furthermore, humanity is
accountable to a set of laws and concepts that is uniquely a product of human society. Animals cannot be subject to
those laws and concepts and therefore do not have the rights of humans. Humans are responsible for providing
adequate food, water and shelter for horses. CDS supports management and training practices which promote health,
prevent disease and protect horses from unnecessary pain and injury.
CDS believes that Dressage Competition is the ultimate test of training to determine the development of harmony
between horse and rider. All sanctioned CDS competitions and events will be conducted under the organization’s rules
regarding the well-being and welfare of horses.
