Dressage 10 Medals Available: Team and Individual British Horses: 3 British Riders: 3 British Reserves: 1 horse and 1 rider Total Competitors: circa 50 horses and riders, 1 reserve horse and rider is allowed for each team. Team Competition: Decided by a combination of all 3 scores in the team test. The Dressage tests are performed in a 60m x 20m all-weather arena, they are a predetermined set of movements, except in the final (freestyle/kür) round where the riders decide their own test and perform it to music. Riders are striving for harmony, lightness and a free, flowing and regular movement of their horse in all paces. The horse and rider are marked by five judges from different positions in the arena and each rider will receive a final percentage score. The Format 13th & 14th August: Team Grand Prix All horses and riders in the competition perform the same test. The combined score of all three riders in the Team produces the team score. The highest percentage score wins the team competition. 16th August: Grand Prix Special The top 25 individuals from the team competition perform the grand prix special, which is a different test to the grand prix. The 15 highest placed combinations go through to the final. 19th August: Freestyle Test (The Kür) Riders choreograph their own set of movements to be set to a taped musical accompaniment; there are certain movements that must be incorporated. They are marked on their execution of the movements and artistic performance of the tests. The Grand Prix Special and the Freestyle scores are combined to decide the individual winner of the competition. Dressage at the Games Athens 2004.
