About “Olympic Startup”
"Olympic Startup" is an educational program for children and amateurs, as well as for coaches and parents.
Children can take part in it from 5 to 16 years inclusive, amateurs - from 17 years.
In 2023, the "Olympic Startup" program covers two disciplines - dressage and show jumping.
"Olympic Startup" program competitions can be organised as club competitions. However separate classes of the program can be included in dressage or show jumping national competitions. They are marked as OS-classes in the Schedule. In both cases points earned by participants of OS classes are to be registered in the Olympic Startup results database and used for the qualification for national competitions. Tests for dressage and show jumping for OS classes are approved for a year, they are judged according to style protocols. Judges involved in such competitions have corresponding qualification.
