Prelim 10, 18 & Novice 21

[RachaelM]

Hello

I am about to start doing some dressage competitions. I want to have a look at the test sheets and see what they involved. Just wondered if anyone has any copies of the Prelim 10, 18 or Novice 21 2003 tests that they could email me.

Many Thanks Rachael

they're copyrighted, so it's actually illegal to copy them or email them to people. you can order them from the british dressage site for 30p each.

Generally speaking - the more recent Prelim tests do not have a halt at X as the first thing you do - which is great cos you don't disrupt the horse.

I can't remember the specific tests - but all the prelim ones usually have walk, trot and canter on each rein, and at least one free walk on a loose rein. 20m circles at trot and canter. You may get a change of rein in walk through X via two half 10 metres circles, and you may also get a half circle and return type movement in trot. Maybe a trot serpentine ?

Canter wise - I think the toughest it gets is canter across the diagonal and trot at the quarter marker.

The 'more difficult' ones will ask for a few lengthened strides in trot eg across the diagonal.

I have not done a Novice test for a very long while, so I'll leave that to someone else

I am doing this Novice 2:1 test in 2 1/2 weeks! (It also has the preliminary one that I do in the morning at the start, so just scroll down!)
