I've got my stage 1 riding coming up very soon, and was wondering if anyone has any useful tips to pass on. I'm a tad nervous about it, especially the stirrupless stuff!

Practise - get some lunge lessons to give you more confidence and help improve your depth of seat.
Practise riding in your jacket and exam gear.
If you have anyone that is familiar with the stage one ridden section, perhaps they could run through a mock exam with you, or run through some of the more common exercises and give you some pointers to work to in your exam.
