Welcome to our Tiny Tots program for 2023!
Our purpose of running a Tiny Tots Program is to introduce the rider to the sport of dressage.
We aim that the little riders will learn and show an understanding of riding the horse forward with balance and control .
Arena Size 30m x 20m (utilising half a 60m x 20m)
Test Time 5:00 Minutes (from entry at X to final halt)
Instructions: To be ridden in an ordinary snaffle.
If on lead: Mount to be led with lead rein or from halter.
We have introduced scoring in the Set Test section to start the process of understanding how to learn and practice, and to be encouraged to progress, all while in a positive and friendly supportive atmosphere.
Every little rider receives a gift along with a rosette so that a reward for all achievements as riders are recognised and memories are made.

TINY TOTS TOURNAMENT 2023
- The Tiny Tots Tournament series will run over 3 shows March 5th, September 10th & November (Day TBC)
- A Tiny Tots News Sheet will be emailed out with tips and helpful feedback from judges to help with learning & riding progression – this will help with friends and parents not missing the call to enter and start a community that will nurture and support the group of riders.
- To register for the News Sheet please email us and we will pop you on the list dcsa2022@gmail.com
The classes:
- Encouragement Class
- All riders are led and spend around 2 minutes experiencing being in the arena in a positive and fun atmosphere.
- All participants will be awarded a rosette and gift bag.
- Set Test Classes – riding the test as above.
- Led Rider Class - the rider is led through the test as above.
- Independent Rider Class – helpers may remain near the ring and call out the markers and encourage the little riders when needed, but will remain on the outside of the arena.
- These riders must have the ability to control their ponies, and if this is in doubt, we strongly encourage entry in the Led Rider class until the Tiny Tot builds confidence.
- All participants will be awarded a rosette and gift bag
- The Winner and runner up will be awarded separately in both Set Test classes, scoring 10 points for a win and 5 for Runner Up
- A medallion will be awarded to the winner and runner up, plus points for the Final Tournament scoring
- Overall Tournament winners from both Led and Independent Rider classes will be presented with rosettes and a DCSA embroidered saddle cloth at either our December or January event
