I am an amateur owner of a very capable horse which is competing in the gold sections with a rider. I haven't completed under BD, I don't think it would be fair to compete bronze which I would be eligible to but I won't compete silver sure to the number of medal hunting pro and semi pro riders. This new system is elitist and unfair

Please please bring back restricted and open, the current system is outrageously unfair and so complicated!!! Right now I’ve given up BD and may not renew my membership I hate it that much!! I’m going back to unaffiliated for 2018.

The current system is way too complicated and weighted towards professionals. Has totally put me off renewing my membership.

I am currently not a member and competed on the old system. However my understanding (or lack of it as very complex) and feedback from other members seems to favour the old system (partic as an amateur rider)!!

I commend BD's efforts but unfortunately you can't please everyone - every system has winners and losers - and the Gold/Silver/Bronze system is ridiculously complex. It was designed to be more inclusive but sadly is alienating riders and is impossible to explain to non-dressage folk!

It is beyond complicated now. I think people are losing interest, too many competitions and so many rules. It is supposed to be fun !!

I find the new system very complicated for potential new competitors to the sport and it is really putting many off giving it a try
Much simpler and more fair

The old way was the most fair way
Too much changing around without consideration
Old system was better
Please bring back open and restricted
