P7 or P18?

[Oaksflight]

Which is the better for a first timer? I've only ever done one dressage test before (prefer jumping!), but decided to give one a go, but which to do? And does anyone have a copy of either they could scan me?

Thanks x

Can't remember P7, P18 is really nice.

P7 i find is really boring as you spends most of the time trotting and cantering around the edge of the arena.
P18, i like more as it has more in it so more for the horse to concentrate on, it has serpentines in it.

P7 is the easiest prelim test and it is quite boring. I prefer P18 as it has more movements in it which therefore makes it more interesting.
I'd say for a first timer do P7 as imo i think its easier but you should have a look at both then you can make your own mind up on which one to do.

P18 sounds good, we've finally got on top of his bending, he's no longer so much like an ironing board!

i did P7 for my first test and came second so would reccommened!!!

what kind of movements does P7 involve?

P7 if you've never done it before.

P18 is a much nicer test because there's more in it to keep the horse interested, but P7 will be easier to remember for the first time.

Out of both tests, I prefer P18, its a nice test and flows well, have a go

For a first test I'd recommend P7 its easier to remember
