Novice 30 & 33 tests

[MagicMelon]

Could anybody possibly let me know what sort of movements are in this? I've only ever done like 2 novice tests years ago and Im about to move up from Prelim but want to make sure I can do what's in them! Thanks

And I assume since Im doing novice BE then I should really be doing novice level (unaffiliated) dressage? I dont want to move up as we hate dressage but feel I have to work on it properly now!

They have medium trot and canter, give and retake the reins, novice 30 I think has halt for 3 seconds.

N33 has medium canter on a 1/2 20m circle, G&R on a 1/2 20m circle, but no counter canter. And obviously the usual medium trot, circles and halt at the end!

That's great - thanks

We find N30 very hard. You do MC down the long side, have to get back to WC by the corner, then WT, turn up the CL and HIS. Last time I did this test, we left skid marks at A and screeched to a halt in a cloud of dust.

I wonder if thrust reversers, an anchor, a drogue or retro rockets are BD legal...
