Driving and judging dressage is a symbiotic process. Drivers are trying to interpret the requirements of the tests, while judges are trying to estimate the success of the driver's efforts. Both parties need to have roughly similar ideas about the whole purpose of the exercise. The object of this book is to discuss the meaning of the FEI rules for dressage and the problems facing both drivers and judges in meeting the intentions and purposes of the dressage discipline. The author makes the point that, while driven dressage is derived from the ridden discipline, it poses very different problems for both drivers and judges. Pulling even a lightweight carriage in a dressage test requires the horse to use quite different muscles and the driver to use different aids in order to achieve a well-balanced, accurate and lively performance. It is these differences that judges need to understand and appreciate in order to mark all competitors fairly. The book is written in the hope that it will help beginners on both driving and judging dressage.
HRH The Duke of Edinburgh was first elected president of the International Equestrian Federation in 1964 and was re-elected every four years until he retired in 1986. A number of International four-in-hand driving competitions were taking place on the continent under various national rules, particularly in Germany and Hungary, but there was no common formula. In 1968 he established an international committee under the chairmanship of Sir Michael Ansell to investigate the possibility of drafting some international rules for carriage driving. The committee recommended adapting the FEI rules for three-day-events and within a few years World and European Championships were being organised. The author gave up playing polo in 1971 and decided that he would have a shot at this new sport. He first competed in 1973 and from 1975 till 1986 he was a regular member of the British team at European and World Championships. The cross-country phase was never his strong point, but he showed a particular talent for the dressage and cones competition.
