Intro A dressage test - Which one??

[BorgRae]

Eeek, can anyone help?

Ok, so the lad was out of work all winter due to injury, he hasn't been out for over a year, and a new venue near us are holding local dressage comps. He's a bit of a spooky fool, so I’ve decided to take him out, let him have a look and do the Intro test.

Now then, I've learnt the test (or at least what I thought was the test), however, whilst watching a couple of videos on Youtube, it appears the test is completely different to the one I learnt!!

Can anyone tell me if the correct Intro A test is:

The one that enters in trot but goes to walk at X, with the 20m circles being at A and C...

Or... is it the one with a 20m circles at B, then a half 10m from B to X, then half 10m from X to E, with another 20m at E… etc

I'm just not sure which is right?!

Many thanks to any help you can give!!! I have strawberry laces to offer

Looking at the BD intro A test now:
Enter at A working trot
C track right
B 20m circle
Between B and F walk trans one horses length and proceed in trot
E half circle 10m to X
X half circle 10m to B

Etc etc
