Can people tell me what movements to be done at what levels , ie leg yielding , haunches in etc ??

I am not very knowledgable about dressage , but a friend is looking at a horse who is meant to be a medium advanced Horse But Im not sure what kinds of movements a horse of this level should be doing or what would be a nice well schooled horse who could do some good basic dressage moves ??
 
A horse working at Advanced medium level should be able to do.......

Collected, medium, extended and free walk
Collected, working,medium and extended trot and canter
Leg yield, shoulder in, travers and half pass in trot
Half pass in canter
Simple and single flying changes
Walk pirouettes
Canter to halt
Rein back
Square halts

Off the top of my head I can't think of any more moves but it's also about increased levels of balance, cadence and the quality of transitions etc, not just about performing the 'tricks'.

Hope that helps but remember just because a horse is said to be working at a certain level, it doesn't necessarily follow that it's any good at it!
