Happy sunday morning.
At my stables we are doing a pony camps so i have devised a dressage test for the kids. I wanted to keep it fairly basic but would appreciate some feed back as i have not written a dressage test before.




Enter at A active walk
Halt at X salute
Active walk to C left rein
At E go into working trot
Do a 20 meter circle at A
B halt for 5 seconds
Sitting trot chage rein at H-F
A walk 3 loop serpentine
At C rising trot
Extended trot down Long side (M,B,F)
A walk
Leg yield down long side ((K,E,H)
At C 20 meter cirlcle
As you pass through X go into slow trot
At C turn down the center line halt and salut at X

so what do you think???? Is it terrible?
I am back at the stables on tuesday and i am going to ride it and see how long it takes etc.

Think your extended trot might be a bit far.

Why not have a look at the BD walk trot test? Or have a look on riding diary as some of the shows on there have their own walk trot tests.
 
A few queries...
I'm not quite sure what you mean or intend by 'As you pass through X go into SLOW trot' ... surely you having working trot or medium trot?
I know when I was in pony club we weren't expected to do extended trot or leg yield until at least area level - it might be too much for some children. Also be aware with regards to the leg yield you need to specify to turn on to the three quarter line to begin or to leg yield out from the track.
Agree with the above if you don't want to include canter. If you don't mind some basic canter have a look at the early numbered BD prelims.
