Points and levels overhauled, registrations and recounts now accepted. Please don't hesitate to give us feedback on the new system!
- You are responsible for keeping up with points and notifying the group when your horse is ready to advance.
- Art from other artists will count, including commissions, but the number of images drawn by other must not exceed the number drawn by you.
- Although our admins will try their best to check through your point tallies, please note that it is not always possible to check every image so please be honest when counting, and if you are not sure let us know as we will always try to help you out!
- Traced drawings are accepted as long as it is stated that the drawing is traced and given proper credit to the photographer. Same goes for photo backgrounds, although the latter will not gain the background points.
- Pre-made linearts or reusing your own linearts will not give you any points, all art should be original.
- If you have any questions about the point system please comment on the journal.
- Please keep all of your points in a point tracker journal.

**NEW** Achievements
Achievements
Each achievement is worth DOUBLE the points of a regular training image. The images have to be created specifically for the achievement. Once all the achievements under one sub-heading have been complete, then your horse will receive a certificate and trophy as a reward for sticking with the programme! (which will be coming soon!) You must complete the levels in order, so Bronze must be completed before Silver, etc.
Achievements will be changed every 6 months, but don’t worry; once you’ve got your certificate you don’t have to re-do them!
Bronze
Square Halt. Some say this is the hardest move of the whole perf
New Beginnings
Since becoming founder I have been doing a lot of thinking about this group. Every day I see the group's activity dwindle, despite previous efforts to rejuvenate it and more people are leaving the group than are joining. When I joined this group as a member in early 2012, it was a hub of activity and 'the' group to be in if you had dressage horses but it has slowly ground to a halt and needs a good push in the right direction to keep going.
My plan for this group is to give it a complete make-over.
Me and Joybird (https://www.deviantart.com/joybird), when I was co-founder, made up this fancy new journal skin and this is what the new 'look' is going to be based upon. Using
Happy christmas everyone!
I want to wish you all a happy christmas (or whatever else you may or may not be celebrating this time of year). The group have been pretty inactive lately, its been a busy autumn for both be and the admins. I had hoped the bi montly shows would be more of a hit with you guys, but apperently not. As there have only been a few entrants in the previous shows, and it doesnt look like it will be many more in the "december-january show", I think this will be the last one. Perhaps you guys will be more interested in one bigger event, instead of several small?
For the update, I am now in the proccess of updating the "previous sanctioned shows" jour
Dressage League official show:
Rules
Art must be made by you.
If your horse is registered in Dressage League, enter the class that fits your horse’s level. If not, you can choose freely.
There are no extensions, if you missed this show, you can enter the next.
Don’t make drama with the admins, judged or fellow participants, and don’t ask for special treatment/rule bending.
If your horse is registered in the group, they will get 1 extra point (p) for their entry. (Additional for the 5p you get for the show being sanctioned)
This is a one-entry event, extra drawings and stories are lovely to see, but won’t give you any extra chance of winning.

Hooking in on the question below, one of my horses got Champion in a 3DE show, but it's not just Champion of one class but more of the full show if that makes sense. Would we have to cut those points in half too? Since this show does have Dressage as one of the classes..
