Do Bucks count as Style in Dressage

[bandit]

Well I know the answer but I shall just wet myself if Bonnie bucks in my test this Saturday the way she did yesterday !!!

I was happily cantering a 20 meter cirlce in the school yesterday when she put in an almighty buck, resumed canter and again!!!

Friend says I should enter freestyle tests LOL!!!

Bless - lets hope she doesn't feel the need on saturday but frankly, I reckon she will !

Perhaps dressage with jumping

i've had this in test and judges comment was 'WELL SAT!!!' and buck was huge!!! but i certainly laughed through rest of test

Its called *EXPRESSION* or *ELEVATION* Winston does this frequently atm lol

 

[bandit]

Yeah - I'm going to have to hold the laugh in! She is rather good at htem - perhaps train her in spanish horse moves LOL!

Whenever my old boy used to add a buck in his tests he normally got better marks and placings. I put it down to the fact that on those occasions he had more sparkle!

Good Luck Bandit!

oh funny!!!

she's fairly fresh @ the moment and hard to control and I dont think my language when she bucks in acceptable, so must practise staying quiet!

I have mastered the art of swearing in my mind! it works well!

Last year i took my mum's youngster to Fenning Farm and he bucked continously through his canter work - the judge's comment DON'T DISPARE

Lol my Dutch never bucked during a test but I would think you would get considerably marked down to a 4 or so. But there isn't much you can do about it, just keep your composure and continue!!!

I'd probably laugh too!
