  FEI Dressage Challenge  
     
  Competition Breakdown   
 
  • Countries participating in the FEI World Dressage Challenge are divided geographical zones composed of maximum six countries.
  • Countries are offered five performance levels, i.e. Prix St-Georges, Advanced, Medium, Elementary and Preliminary (Children). Five separate ranking lists are established.
  • The Competition is held between individuals and teams within each Group.
 
  Individual Competition   
  Each Zone is judged separately. The winner of each level in each Zone is the competitor having the highest total points.  
     
  Team Competition  
  Within each Zone, the winning team is the one having the highest total points based on the best three results.  
     
  “In all Fairness”  
  Competitive equality is created by having all athletes within a Zone execute the same tests - adjudicated by the same Ground Jury. The Ground Jury consists of two FEI experienced judges.  
     
  Development of the Sport  
  In addition to the competition itself, the Ground Jury also offers competitors practical and theoretical instruction at a Clinic following the event.

The Challenge is usually held between March and April and mid-September and mid-November.
