Guidelines for Scoring MEA Encouragement Prix Caprilli Test
Prix Caprilli dressage tests have the same movements as dressage and are judged according to
conventional dressage rules. However, Prix Caprilli tests include several small jumps. The aim of Prix Caprilli
dressage tests is to show that the horse can complete a dressage test in a relaxed and obedient manner
without the jumps disrupting the performance.
The emphasis is not the jumping style of the horse, it is on the horse’s relaxation, obedience and evenness
of pace.
The rider should establish a jumping position that will assist the horse in freely
jumping over the fences without any resistance. This will usually require the rider
to shorten his/her stirrups for the test. All trot work is rising and canter is
optional. More marks will be awarded if canter is attempted.
Refusals and knockdowns are considered as “errors of course”. If a rail is knocked
down, and is required to be replaced, the judge will sound the horn, the rider
shall stop and wait for the rail to be replaced, and then continue the test at the
point where the judge’s horn was sounded.
Dressage gear rules apply except horses are permitted to wear protective boots.
The location of the fences (height = cross bars) is shown in the diagram of the
arena on the left. The arena is 20x60m.
Collective marks
Paces (freedom and regularity)

Impulsion (desire to move forward, elasticity of the steps, relaxation of the back and engagement of quarters)

Guidelines for Scoring MEA Pairs Dressage
The aim of pairs dressage tests is primarily to show that the riders and their horses can work happily
together. At all times the riders should be in harmony, being aware of where their partner is positioned
and being ready to accommodate their partner. Ideally, the horses should be compatible and relaxed.
When the pair is working side by side, the outline should appear to be as just one horse and rider from the
judge’s lateral perspective. Furthermore, when working as a pair the horses should be as close as possible
so that the riders’ inside legs appear to be almost in contact. Consequently the guidelines for judging a
pairs dressage test emphasises the success the riders can create as a pair. The higher the score, the more
closely the pair has worked together. For example, a six in the pairs test (Pairs 6 = the movement was
performed accurately and harmoniously as a pair) is not the same six that an individual can earn in a
conventional dressage test (Conventional dressage 6 = movement was performed at a satisfactory level).
The judge may penalise the riders for the use of voice (-2 marks on each occasion). When riders are
working individually, whenever they pass head on, they should pass left hand to left hand.
