fao anyone who competes at norton heath or wix

[Merlinz gal]

do you get marked down for having tests called and could you tell me what has been involved in past walk and trot tests, oh do wix do w&t tests?? thanks :D

[MeMe]

No you dont get marked down for having a caller, you cant have one at champs though.

NH dont do WT tests, that I've ever seen, Wix do in the Classical, but dont seem to in the normal.

Lots of RC's do WT tests, worth looking around for them, and Longwood do them aswell, alough they hold once a month on a Fri night.

I've done so many different WT tests, as different places design their own.

Mainly thought its walking and trotting 20mtr circles, changes or rein in walk and trot, some have walk 10mtr circles.

Some have Demi Vaults, and the odd thing like that.

Most really are more basic though in movements, for instance Wix's has 20mtr and 15mtr circles in trot on each rein, free walk, couple of changes of rein, few centre lines with transitions at X, thats about it really.

[MeMe]

Oh you want to do proper freestyle to music? We are working on that for Gaetano at the moment.

Bear in mind that freestyle is novice level, so you need to know you can put in a good novice test.

There is certain movements that must be shown, and all tapes/cd's need to be approved, as its copyright.

So you have to get them approved by BD.

[Merlinz gal]

oh yeah i know i need it approved and are allocated moves etc :D

just thought it would be cool:D

[MeMe]

Yes no reason why not to aim for it :D
