"Inter dressage is an on-line dressage competition that runs every month and you enter via video.
You pay your £10 entry fee, practice your test, video it and when you are happy with it send it off to the judges.
They have tests to suit every rider and have also started a wee jumping section if dressage is not quite your thing." (from Allison)

Donna is also offering: Ladies Lessons at 11 a.m. on Wednesdays; and lunging lessons (a good way to get your horse fit).
