Combined Training consists of a Dressage Test (in a 40m arena) followed by a Showjumping course (around 13 jumping efforts, including a double and related distance).
The aim of Combined Training is to help the participant develop confidence in their partnership with their pony. Area Qualifier winners in the Intermediate and Open riders categories are eligible to enter the Combined Training competition at the Royal Dublin Horse Show.
