Please can anyone help. Could you give me an idea what is in this test which I was thinking about entering for next moment but didnt want to purchase it off the internet until I knew a few of the movements.

Thank you in advance
 
from what I can remember off the top of my head, it's pretty much the same things you get in a novice but there is 1 simple change going from E to B right at the end.
There's a change of leg thro trot across the diagonal, medium trot and canter, and 15m circles. I can check in a bit, all my tests are downstairs.
 
ditto above - also canter 5m loops, trot 10m circles, halt for 6 secs, walk to canter. A bit of collected trot but that's nothing to worry about as they don't expect much collection. Realy good test for first elementary, a nice step up from novice but not too much more and it flows nice.
 
There is no medium canter in E44.
Am just learning it myself at the moment.
The trot is mostly collected trot. There are 10m circles, 10m 1/2 circles. One medium trot on the diagonal and one on the long side. There is a 6 second halt.
In canter, there is a walk to canter to begin with. Then canter 5 m loops in from long side. Canter diagonal with change of lead through trot. Canter 15m circles. Simple change of leg over X.
