Schooling using dressage tests and youtube!

[PrincessMadeleine]

So as I have recently become very poor (student loans and working with animals!!), and also have a lack of transport I have decided that instead of going out to compete I am going to start learning every test from walk and trot up to the last novice, film them, and put them all on you tube (account name PrincessMadeleine).

I find it really difficult to come up with exciting ways to school my horse with out having lessons but at the moment I really can't afford to have them so thinking that practicing for dressage test might be a really good way of bringing me and my horse back into fitness. Putting them on youtube is just a bit of fun but also might get some helpful feed back if any one can be bothered to watch them and help me out!

Any body else tried doing anything similar? Could be a free way to compete if any body else was interested in doing the same

You could do the interdressage if you have no transport....
Sounds nice idea tho.

Ooh I have heard of that but not sure how it works? or how much it costs? (I am seriously poor!) Maybe we should start a non competitive free dressage sharing thing! On other notes very pleased with my pony today, so think tomorrow I might try out the first dressage test - If I can find a copy.

Was also going to add, try Dressage Anywhere as well, they use the BD tests. Costs about the same as a usual test (tenner) abd is judged by proper BD just with feedback. Need to get started on this myself
