SUMMARY:Spring Driving Combined Test and Arena Trials
DESCRIPTION:GMHA’s Driving Combined Test CT) and Arena Trials (AT) are modified versions of Combined Driving designed to prepare horse and driver to compete in a full CDE (Combined Driving Event). \nThe Combined Test (CT)\, or Two-Phase\, includes dressage and cones. Scores from each phase are combined. \n\nNEW FOR 2026 – GMHA is pleased to announce that Hannah Polson\, American Driving Society Combined Driving Judge & Technical Delegate is sponsoring a Combined Test Series Champion & Reserve Champion for each of the Training\, Preliminary and Intermediate Divisions at GMHA in 2026!\nDriven Dressage tests are judged similarly to a ridden dressage test\, but in a much larger 40 meter x 80 meter ring. The drivers are required to perform a set of movements which include changes of pace\, circles\, turns\, and extensions\, rein-back\, and halt. Each movement is judged and scores are tallied.\nThe object of cones is to drive through a course of narrowly spaced pairs of cones cleanly within time allowed. Each cone has a ball placed on top\, and any miscalculation will dislodge the ball\, thus incurring a penalty. This phase tests the fitness\, agility and obedience of the horse and the accuracy and skill of the driver.\n\nThe Arena Trials (AT) includes 3 phases: dressage\, cones\, and arena obstacles. Scores from all phases are combined. \n\nArena obstacles were created as a way to practice marathon obstacles without a full cross-country marathon. Two obstacles are set up at either end of an arena\, with a start and finish line across the center of the arena. Obstacles consist of large sturdy obstacles marked with gates\, which drivers must complete in the correct order. Competitors are timed as they drive each obstacle twice. Penalties are accessed for time and knockdowns.\n\n\n\nSee Omnibus Prize List for more details or contact the Event Secretary listed below.
