How to Enter OnCentreLine Dressage: Your Step-by-Step Guide

Excited to ride your best test from the comfort of your own arena? OnCentreLine Dressage makes it easy to compete from anywhere! Our online competitions are a fantastic way to get valuable feedback from qualified judges, track your progress, and even win prizes – all on your own schedule.

Here's your simple guide to entering an OnCentreLine Dressage competition:

1. Check This Month's Schedule & Pick Your Test

First things first, head over to our website to see what's on offer this month! We typically have a variety of tests available, ensuring there's something for every level. Choose the test that's right for you and your horse.

2. Read Through Our Rules & T&Cs

Before you even saddle up, take a moment to familiarise yourself with our comprehensive Rules and Terms & Conditions. This is crucial! It covers everything from eligible attire and equipment to how to correctly film your test. Knowing these details beforehand will save you time and ensure your entry is compliant.

3. Learn Your Test & Practice!

Now for the fun part – or sometimes, the challenging part! Dedicate time to learning your chosen test thoroughly. Ride through it, draw it out, and even walk it on foot until you feel confident. Practice makes perfect, and the more prepared you are, the better your performance will be.

4. Get Someone to Video Your Whole Test

Once you're ready, it's time to film! This is a key step, so make sure your videographer (friend, family member, or stablemate) has read our specific instructions on "How to Film Your Test" in the T&Cs. Proper filming ensures the judge can see all movements clearly, giving you the best possible feedback. Remember, the entire test must be captured in one continuous take!

5. Upload Your Video to YouTube

After filming, upload your test video to YouTube. You can choose to make it "Public" or "Unlisted" (Unlisted is usually preferred for privacy, as only those with the direct link can view it). Ensure your video is clear, stable, and correctly oriented.

6. Enter This Month's Competition on Nominate.com

Head over to Nominate.com to complete your entry. Find this month's OnCentreLine Dressage competition, fill out the required details, and importantly, there will be a designated section to upload your YouTube video URL. This is how we link your ride to your entry!

7. Wait to Receive Your Results & Prize!

Once entries close and judging is complete, we'll send out your official score sheet with valuable comments from our accredited judges. If you've placed in the top spots, congratulations – your prize will be on its way!

Entering OnCentreLine Dressage is a straightforward process designed to make competing accessible and enjoyable. We can't wait to see your tests!
