Dressage Qld Medals and Awards
As part of our mission to increase value to members, Dressage QLD introduces this program to recognise achievement in dressage, providing goals and rewarding riders at every level of competition.
The DQ Rider Medals are based strictly on the scores that a horse and rider combination achieves over time and need not be earned in one competition year or in sequential order. The Rider Medals are awarded based on attaining the required scores at the necessary levels. A rider may achieve multiple badges, at multiple levels.
These Medals are stylish badges in bronze, silver, gold and platinum. They can be displayed on the lapel of riding coats and tails for competition. A certificate is also available on request.
Award accumulation to begin 1st January 2009. The cut off percentage scores for each medal level will be reviewed at 2012 season end.
Please visit the Forms & Applications page to download your Rider Medals Report form.
Send your application forms to the Equestrian Qld office:
