Dressage
Dressage is the highest expression of training where horse and rider are expected to perform from memory a series of predetermined movements. it develops obedience, flexibility and balance in the horse, and is therefore the basis for all other equestrian disciplines. The ‘Pure dressage’ competition is for teams of three/four riders of any age, who ride a Novice level test in a 60m long arena.
Combined Training 
Combined Training consists of a Dressage Test (in a 40m arena) followed by a Showjumping course (around 13 jumping efforts, including a double and related distance). 
The aim of Combined Training is to help the participant develop confidence in their partnership with their pony. Area Qualifier winners in the Intermediate and Open riders categories are eligible to enter the Combined Training competition at the Royal Dublin Horse Show.
As with all other Pony Club activities combined training is divided into different age categories such as U10, U12, Junior, Intermediate and Open. Each category has a different test and these tests are set by the Pony Club in Spring of that year. Each age category showjumps at a particular height,eg U12 usually at 75cm, Junior up to 90 cm and Intermediate at 1 metre.
Each Area of Pony Club has a qualifier competition for members at all levels.
The top placed members on the day will then qualify for the Pony Club Festival.
All members should familiarise themselves with the rules of Dressage and Combined Training
​

Carlow Hunt Pony Club has a very long and proud association with Combined Training and we would encourage all our members to start training early in the season.
