A Note about Freestyle: If you are considering showing any of the Freestyles please be mindful: The Cowboy Dressage Freestyle is a showcase of accomplishments between horse and rider through the levels. The horse and rider must be prepared and able to do the Cowboy Dressage maneuvers required for the Test successfully with grace, finesse and respect the Freestyle deserves. Partnership, Harmony, and Soft Feel are still a priority when scoring the Freestyle. The Freestyle should be fun and entertaining, while still a celebration of our finest horsemanship.

Walk/Jog Test Division Walk/Jog Lope Test Division Challenge Test Division Vaquero Test Division Freestyle Test Division Partnership Test Division Gaited Test Division *

*Gaited horse may ride in any test division appropriate for their rider (Open, Am, Jr.), but will judged on the Walk/Jog/Lope gaits defined in the test. If the gaited horse cannot "jog", this may result in a very low score. We would hope the gaited horses wholeheartedly support the Gaited Test Division. It was designed specifically for the gaited horse.
