Whats your highest dressage score?

[DITZ]

As I am still bumping along the bottom so to speak I thought I would ask you all what your lowest, average and highest ever scores are together with how many tests you have done to date.

My lowest is 47.25%, my average is about 55% and my highest is 57.5%. Total number of tests done : 7.

Oh and if anyone has ever got a 9 or a 10 for anything I'd love to know!

Lowest mark ever was 40% for a Medium test with Peri - she was absolutely appalling - judge suggested that I got some help from someone who knew what was required - turns out poor Peri had put her back out and was not simply being naughty. Same judge gave me 68% a couple of months later and asked who was training me to make such a difference - to which was the reply - 'same person and a visit from the horse chiropracter' :D

Our first Prelim scored 48%.

Best score was 79% for an Advanced Medium (with Peri again). We got about four 9's and a lot of 8's for that test.

Never had a 10 yet, although I have seen one awarded.

My best score for an Advanced was nearly 67% in A103 earlier thi year.

Tavia's best score was 67% in a Prelim.

Average - not a clue! I did at least 60 tests last year between the girls and have probably done around 30 already this year

My lowest ever test score was 42% (enter down centreline, rear, trot across diaganol, rear, halt at g, rear) much like LGD it turned out that my pony had in fact put her back out, and the behaviour was for a reason.

My highest ever score was 77% admittedly a very very kindly marked prelim. I came in first place, and rather wonderfully, it was on a heavyweight cob that I had borrowed for pony club camp. I had been finding dressage pretty difficult on her, but it just seemed to 'come together' after the weeks camp.

With Ferdie my highest ever score has been 68.8% and my lowest ever 52.2%. On average we are getting around 62% but it has been steadily increasing since I got him two years ago. Fear not DITZ, it took a whole year and a half before we got over the 60% barrier! We are doing affiliated eventing, so I think it may be reasonably tightly marked.. the 68.8% was unaffiliated :p

With Penny, my old pony, her lowest score was the aforementioned 42%, her highest was 69% I was quite young at the time, but she has the most wonderful gift for dressage, which I only realised as I was outgrowing her :rolleyes:

I have once received a nine for a movement, which was a trotted serpentine with the heavyweight cob. I usually only get eights as a maximum. Recently I have been getting eights for canter, rather than trot, which is a big change as it used to be the other way round! I usually get an eight for my riding at unaffiliated, yet affiliated tests I only get a six!

Our worst test was our first ever test, the walk & trot where Flyte was run down by the loose horse as we were starting our test and we manages to canter most of a walk & trot test! :rolleyes: That was also the test we managed to get 6th in, I think the judge was watching the wrong areana! We got 65%.

Our lowest was 49%, Prelim7. We did actually do the test which was an improvement on the previous walk & trot but he was so strong I couldn't hold one side of him and we spooked at everything, left the areana on several occasions and bucked into every upwards transtion!

Our next was Prelim 4 and we got 60% even though I forgot the test twice so lost loads for that. We came 7th and the winner of the class only had 63% so I wasn't very happy with myself for that! I had a reader too!!!!!! But it was soooo windy and the weather was completley c**p I couldn't hear a word she was saying. I went down the centre line not knowing whether I was turning left or right!

And our last test we did, the same day was Prelim 18 and we got 52.50%. This completley confushed me as I actually remembered this test and he did is so much better than the prelim 4 but I guess its just how judges mark. My instructor also decided from watching who was doing which tests etc that as the tests on the day were Prelim 4, 7 & 18 and Novice 24 & 32. That people doing the Prelim 4 were doing the 7 instead of 18 but the people doing the 18 were doing the Novices tests then instead of the other prelims so theses horses would of been schooled to a higher level than the prelim horses so the judge would of seen hundreds of horses all atleast at Novice level in the 18 where as in the 4 they would of just been Prelim, like Flyte is. So she would of marked him not as good as he was no where near as good as the Novice horses she was seeing. That make any sense?? SO I should of done the 7 instead of the 18 and he'd of probably done better.

So thats our 4 tests!

I've just gone through mine again and I've actually only done 6. But my high score was 56.5 not 57.5 and my average is a mere 53% which stinks!!! Oh well onwards and sidewards will be my new motto!!

[Waikato Valuta]

i have only done 2 tests i got 63 in a grade 5 pony club test and 41 in a grade 2 PC test although i dont quite get this mark becuase most of my marks were 7-8-9 with one 5.

[IrisSilverMoon]

hmmmmmm...I can't find most of my scores anywhere, but I think my lowest was probably something like a 46%, and the highest is about a 66.9%.

I've definately watched my scores go up over the years as I've become a better rider and gotten more used to showing dressage, I don't score below mid-fifties very often anymore and i am getting more consistent scores. I don't have a huge amount of shows to really go off of though as I don't show a whole bunch, but i have enough scores to know how it works, hehe.

With my 4yo Red...

Lowest - 51.5% (Second test ever my horse had done and it was Novice :eek:)
Highest - 65% (Same test as I got the lowest on, but 5 months later!)
Average - 2003 - 53.80% - 2004 - 62.5%

I cannot find any dressage sheets of my old ponies, but they were worse than Red's!

[DressageGirl]

Mine have been..

30.2, 36.3 , 52.3, 52.8

[tasha]

My highest was 67% on my old pony Dipity, who had a talent for dressage that I only really discovered as I was out growing her like RachelEvent!

Lowest was about 47% on Kally, who if marked at home would get 55ish maybe more. Thanks to the new saddle we are getting there..I hope to break the 60% barrier by the time I start planning her foal in 3ish year's time.....

[tancock1]

I have only done three tests with my scores being:

Prelim 4 - 66.1
Prelim 7 - 66
Prelim 10 - 60

[tashm]

[Miss MoneyPenny]

Just realised that my result at the weekend was quite good then!

1st even attempt at dressage and scored:

62.5% and 59.16%, wow didn't realised I did that well!

:eek:

[Rosanna]

At mini-badminton i got 34.5, so that's 65.5% which was 5th after dressage out of 100s of people so I was really pleased.

However, last sunday i went to a pony club pre-area competition and i came 15 put of 16 people, ahhhhh, they were all posh dressage horses. I think I got 70-something as well!

[star]

lowest was last weekend at affiliated novice - naughty horse got 47%. highest was 83% in a prelim. highest novice score is 76% and highest elem score 70%. my BD records say my average is 63%, but that's just affiliated. probably higher if you include unaffiliated as they tend to mark higher.

[Waltzin]

my dressage experience is quite limited - and to be fair, my highest marks are in horse trials dressage tests where they tend to mark more generously - so my highest ever was 72% at Belvoir ODE, and mt lowest, 54% at a local Prelim, where Indie behaved like a prat, shyed at everthing, and in true pony brat style I stopped in the middle of my test and said "Dad, I'm gonna retire now cos she's being a little s**t." Turns out Indie doesn't like doing dressage in the rain;) I was actually expecting a score of about 30% for that 1, but it wa VERY generously marked. Especially since we only did about 2 strides actually on the track, did the whole thing on the wrong bend, wouldn't go anywhere near the judges car, and did a few extra circles. Oh the fun! Whoops

[problem]

lowest score was 44.6% on an arab who didn't go into an outline and kept cantering and was hallow throughout the hole of the test that was pony club novice dressage test 2001
highest score was 76.50% on a horse who was v lazy but i managed to get him into an outline and showed his paces and rhythm of ( the owner had a heart attcal when i told her the score) that was preliminary 6 and we won against some really showy horses and ponies. we got 5 9's 4 that test and a got a 9 4 my position so i was really impressed. my average is about 53% but i take the novice horses for the experience and it's mostly pony club tests i was a bit disapointed with my last score (57.6%) the judge forgot 2 double the scores when the movement is 10 x 2 so i should have got 61.2%. i thought the horse i was riding diserved a higher score as she was in an outline the whole time worked from behind and generally really tried.
i only do dressage during the winter when there hacking distance away on the novice horses i find that the preliminary judges mark nicer than the pony club judges

[LouiseEdwards]

my highest was 81% lol - but it was at pony club camp and a prelim so :D haha - although it was a listed judge and he wasn't scoring that high for anyone else.... ;)

I suppose the percentage would only count if the judge was marking un naturally high for everyone or just your test, and if that was consistant with the other markings you had recieved previously.
