As a way to encourage children and amateur riders to compete in Dressage, the Organising Committee has divided riders into 3 groups. The classification of each group is as follow:
- Group A - Riders who have achieved over 60% in their previous Preliminary and/or Novice tests.
- Group B - Riders who have achieved less than 60% in their previous Preliminary and/or Novice tests.
- Group C - Riders who have never competed in Preliminary or Novice.
