Advanced Medium

[Tempi]

What movements come up in Adv Medium that aren't in Medium?

I dont have any Advanced Medium tests, and was just curious as to what was different to Medium. Also having never ridden at Adv Medium i have no idea whats in it!!

 

[PaddyMonty]

changes

 

[Tempi]

is that the only thing thats different

I had a feeling changes were introduced, but wasnt sure about any other movements!

 

[Santa_Claus]

as above basically just changes although you may well have more diffcult half passes etc...

 

[StaceyTanglewood]

cant you order one on Dressage Diagrams and have a look ?? x

 

[PaddyMonty]

Yep, basically just changes. Number of changes required increase as the test numbers get higher. Angle required at half pass also increases

they dont have advanced medium on there - well i cant find it anyways!!

ive ordered the freestyle from BD, so that will give me a general idea

Its just the changes.
You also have a trot half pass zig zag.
Much more fun that medium.

As well as the above answers most of the entries are in canter (as is Med 75) and there are 8m circles in trot and canter, rein back to canter and halt to canter.

Can't think of anything else at the moment.

Don't forget that it's not just about movements but also the quality of the work.

Yes, the only new "trick" that is required is a single change, but all the other work must be that much more established. Extended trot must be much more up and off the ground than at Medium and the transitions instant and crisp. Likewise the canter - more engagement bedhind and lift in front.

It's a big mistake to think that Ad Med is just Medium with changes, that's a quick way to coming unstuck.

Bugger Adv medium, wish I could crack medium!

Mat, I will be banging on your door soon to help me with my changes if that's alright with you?

 

[Tempi]

i do know that

I was simply asking what extra movements where involved, im fully aware that the horse needs to be far more established than at medium level.
