Intro 101 Dressage test please help

[pebbles82]

Hi everyone

I have finally plucked up the courage to do a beginners one day event but i have never done dressage before and havent got the slightest clue where to begin :eek:

The test is going to Intro 101 can anyone give me some advise on what sort of things this test includes, is it quite easy and basic and most importantly where i could get a copy of this from? I really dont have a clue when it comes to dressage but it has always been something i have wanted to do :p

Any comments would be greatly appreciated I have got 6 weeks to practice this

Im soooooo nervous

go to www.eventriders.com and you can print the test off. i've been working through the intro tests and they are all pretty easy.

dressage diagrams sell the current tests (www.dressagediagrams.com I think ?)

ah but why buy it when you can print it for free??? :cool:

101 seems straight forward, couple of half circles in trot, 20m circle on either rein in canter and a few changes of rein, not hard at all!! heres the link directly to the test.

yes - I'm (pleasantly) surprised about that as normally they are not published cos of copyright etc. At last someone has seen the light ! They don't HAVE printing costs if they put them online ;)

Wonder what the "design cost" for a test is.....
