Rising for medium trot? FEI 2*a Dressage Test 2020

[baybertha]

Just wondering if anyone knows whether you can execute the medium trot in the FEI 2* Test A 2020 rising? Doesn’t mention anywhere on the test sheet but I have a very bouncy horse so would definitely prefer to rise if it is allowed!

it does say at the bottom

Note 2: All trot work must be executed “sitting” unless the term “rising” is used in the test

and the movement doesn't say rising is permitted so I'd say you have to sit.

Although a good set of tails can mask a few minor sins ???

If it is very bouncy you will have to perfect the 'hovering' seat, where it looks like you are sitting but you are hovering just above the saddle ?.
