Can I have some quick answers please

[soph21]

Right Ive wanted to do a dressage test on Bear all season but not had a chance, I bought a prelim 4 '02 test sheet and practised it to death. Theres a dressage day on Sunday and want to do it but they aren't doing that test, I would rather challenge myself a bit more and try something slightly more intermediate

heres a link to the tests,
bottom one dated 20/09/09

So heres my question, is there anywhere on t'internet that I can look at the different test sheets so I can decide which one before the day?
I will be buying off the BD website,

Thankies

I haven't seen BD dressage tests on the web, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. Do you want to go out competing or do you just want to have a dressage test marked? http://www.interdressage.com/ run monthly competitions where you video yourself at home and send it off to be judged. They give you some really helpful feedback too. They have different standards of tests and they are available on their website if you want a practice at different levels.

dressage diagrams and they only cost a small amount to down load.

I couldn't find a test sheet at home last week so ended up watching someone do it on YouTube! You can get the idea from the videos. Just type in the test number in the search box 'prelim 14' or whatever you want... a tiny tip though.... try and watch more than one in case they went wrong : )

as above, youtube is your friend! quite often it says how well they did too, i always try to watch one with a high percentage or a win, unlikely they went wrong!

OP, the higher the number, the more difficult the test, so Prelim 12 would be more difficult than Prelim 1, etc etc.

OK cool, I'll have a look on youtube

I don't like prelim 7; it's boring!

 

[soph21]

We've never done a dressage test before.
Its less boring than W/T test surely?
I didn't bother with that, as our schooling is going quite well, we can do halt to canter, half pass in trot, and a few other tricks

i think you have to do the test as stated on the schedule!! copies available from BD,
