i dont think you can find the tests online, atleast without having a great big copyright on it. I have the test which i could probably either scan in or give you the instructions, its a pretty easy test.

But surely scanning/copying the test down in any way is a breach of the copyright?
www.dressagediagrams.com have all the BD tests for sale, they are good as I have used them before. Otherwise www.britishdressage.co.uk have a printable order form. :)

Hi, i did my first even test saturday, prelim 4. it was a bit of a laugh, and quite hair raising really. Our circles were a bit egg shaped, we wobbled down the centre line and at one point, couldnt stop cantering :eek: Mostly 4s and 5s scored but a 6 for halt at the end. I think the judge was glad we stopped :D 47.73% final result. Roll on next month when its prelim 12.

[DITZ]

well done. personally i think prelim 4 is one of the worst ones going!

[Konch]

ooh, 12 looks better. circles at B and E aren't our forte, espes when our training school is 50 x 30! much better at A and C as you have at least 3 'sides' to judge whether you are ok size wise.

I used to like riding P4 with my old pony, she could get very insecure when schooling and always loved the repetitiveness of that test, she never anticipated but always knew where we were going and it calmed her down. Although it's not a test for every horse, the mare I ride now hates 20m circles and can't canter straight lines! It took a lot of leg to keep her from changing legs when I was riding P7 the other week!
