dressage people

[spooks]

have been chatting to another forum member, no names mentioned LIVE_WIRE... and she has talked ash into entering a ODE (not that it took much persuading) anyway SJ & XC not a problem....ash and otto have never done a dressage test in their lives. i have a copy of the test, its pony club novice eventing test 2006, SO can you explain a few terms to make sure we have got this right

working trot
medium walk
working canter

AND , can he have his drop noseband on or will we have to use a flash or cavesson (sp)
thanks in advance

They are all "normal" paces. Gawd knows why they did't use "working walk" though, would have been less confusing!
And check the rules but I believe drops are fine

Definitely check the rules as pony club can be very strict eg no spurs, no coloured numnahs/bridles- not even white. Hopefully a pony clubber will give you some advice!

Both I and other friends have been caught out at PC Events!
