Any advice!?!

From any dressage diva's like P_G!!?! Am doing it at Norton Heath on Dexter in a few weeks and see it has a simple change at the end! arrrgghhh!!

Don't panic, it's only one movement! If it's your weaker point work on the good points to make up your marks and in the mean time practice loads of simple changes but not where you're going to do them in the test otherwise they anticipate and give it to you too soon.

You'll be fine - enjoy!

Just make sure you show a few good steps of walk before you set off again and be prepared for the downward trans in the corner.

Is a nice test....just go and enjoy it

Oi!!! Empty your PM's girlie!!

Seems I had my wires crossed re the simple change! It isnt as difficult as I thought!

Just have to master sitting trot now on my bouncy horse who wants to lengthen every where!!!

You don't need sitting trot anymore for ele.

 

[H-J]

Really? When did that change it says on my sheet that I need to sit and can rise for medium trot

 

[Thistle]

last year or year before. Have a look in PG's Advanced Medium post there was something in there.

Bee and Jasper do unaff ele and even her trainer struggles to sit to his trot.

You dont need to do sitting trot hun

Just make sure you have a good canter (nice and through from behind) coming into the simple change - ride the turn across well to get the hind quarters under and engaged. Show about 3 good walk strides before you ask for canter left.

Good luck
