PENCILLING

• No penciller – no test. Pencilling is a very important job at dressage – second only to the judge beside you.

• As a penciller you are required to record the judges’ comments and scores against each movement through the livescore app.

• All of the necessary information is contained in the background and all you need to do it enter the bridle number, score and scribe! 

 

OFFICE

• The office requires the presence of a committee person and administrative support at all times. Assisting in the office is a great way to learn more about the mechanics of running events and helping your fellow members. 

 

GEAR CHECK

• Gear check is another one of those jobs that must be done and doesn’t have to be a difficult one. If you’re concerned about what to look for, check out the EA guidelines (with pictures).

• For a LEG day remember the basics – white/light jods, collared shirt, number on both sides, gloves, appropriate boots, appropriate helmet and legal whip length.

• Not sure if a bit or spur is legal –there are lots of members who are well versed on gear check and are happy to help.

• The gear check person needs to make sure they are marking off the riders as go through gear check to compete.

• Gear check is fun and a great way to get to know other members.
