Has anyone bought a floor plan etc from here. I bought one as for various reasons I have a competition on Sunday, issues with my normal stuff and only time for one practice tomorrow, so I thought it would be a quick way of getting something at least rideaable.
They have emailed me the floor plan today and it doesn’t actually contain the required movements so it’s useless. Am just a bit peeved. Have emailed and asked for a refund. I just wondered if anyone else had any experiences with this company ?

I had this problem a few years ago (August 2015). Emailed them and never heard back. I used audacity to adapt the music myself but I don't suppose you'll have time for that.

It’s absolutely rubbish. They came back with a new floor plan which basically added a 20 m Circle but having ridden it, there isn’t even enough trot music to finish the first two circles ! Complete heap of pooh.
Have asked for a refund and will go to trading standards if they don’t reply. Just makes me so cross.

Hope you get a refund. For the future, do try audacity. It's quite simple to use. I just buy instrumental CDs and use a metronome on my phone. (I am the least musical person I know and still gets 8s for that part!)

Thanks.
They have refunded me with a snidey comment about how they are sorry the concept of a ready made test is not working for me 🤣
It’s not the concept it’s the flipping execution !
Am playing with audacity for Xmas one, have watched lots of YouTube videos !

Out of interest, what was missing from the required movements?

The trot stretch was across the diagonal and should have been on a circle. The main problem was that it started with 2 trot circles and then other trot movements but there wasn't enough trot music. It then went into the canter music and I had enough to do the movement and then 2 full circuits of the arena!! I never heard back from them. Always make my own plans and music now.

Exactly the same as mine then, glad to see they have improved over the last three years !
Am getting the hang of audacity slowly, there are ( luckily ) lots of helpful YouTube videos .
