Dressage to music- what's required at prelim?

[Julia0803]

Hi all,

My son is doing his first DTM on Sunday.

He's devised his own plan and music.

He was basing his moves off the list on this site. Can anyone just confirm that this is a correct and up to date list. I don't want him to do badly on his first test because we missed a compulsory movement.

Thanks!

You can buy the requirement sheets from the BD shop - not sure if you can download them anywhere quicker?

Looks about right. The important thing is not to do anything that is not required at prelim level.

Yes it's correct, I have ordered the sheet from BD and have checked it against that list. Hope he enjoys it, I can't wait for my first dtm class (none booked yet).

Thanks very much all!

Wish I knew what all this meant but I'm clueless about dressage so have no idea what kind of music you could use. If you give me an idea of beat and / or post a link to someone doing their routine to give me an idea I'll gladly throw out some suggestions

Oh no hang on – you have to use specific music and can't just choose your own to the relevant moves and grooves? What a shame you could have loads of fun with that. :blue:

Sorry for the very slow update!

They had a great time. It went well with room for improvement. They got 67.5% and came 5th out of 6th against some lovely looking tests and riders.

He did well throughout apart from the stretch in trot, which I'd misunderstood initially as he hadn't done a full 20m of trot stretch before, so he got a 4 for that but everything else 6-7.5, with a 7.5 for his choice of music!

We'll try again in September, now that we are a little bit more clued up on what's required.

Thanks for the advice ��

Hi Parly, you can choose your own music. You have to choose a different piece for each gait and blend them together.
