Quick Dressage Question!

[sunny123]

Hi, I have an ODE next Sunday and I was just wondering if it is ok to do some of the test in sitting trot and some in rising? My girl generally goes better in sitting, but if she tenses up I can get her back much more quickly if I switch to rising, so would that be ok to have rising as my back up plan?! Or if she has her eyes out on stalks it will all be in rising!

Yes I always do a bit of both

Hi

I think it generally depends on the level but you will be ok in sitting providing she works well that way. I do think most eventers probably do rising trot up to the level required, it is elementary in BD but I have no idea about the BE equivalent!!

I would go with whatever she is best in.
