What mark would you give this test? (imagination required!)

[TiaPony]

Enter A, centre line, working trot - horse is supple and listening, albeit a little wandering off the line.
Accurate change of rein - diagonal buggered and forgotten about
Circle, correct inside bend but slightly distracted and hits the white outside/marker thing board (no spooking as she does so).
Change of rein again - diagonal still forgotten but horse is clearly relaxed and listening and working near enough in a correct outline
Circle, slightly rushed but accurate.
Medium walk - 2 X 1/2 circles changing the rein - steady, forward pace and accurately ridden, horse VERY supple and correct bending
Free walk 1/2 circle - tosses head once then works in relaxed contact on long rein
Medium walk - happily accepts stronger contact but is not as rounded and supple
Working trot - slightly rushed
Working canter - starts on wrong leg but changes without trotting and when crosses diagonal loses momentum and trots but canter regained.
Trot at X and canter on next corner - lovely balanced and much more joint-work between us
Working trot and half circle towards centre line - listening and good rhythmn.
Square-ish halt. Rider salutes with a smile and horse looks pretty but no moving etc and is obedient.
Leave on long rein back round to A, lots of pats issued
What mark would you give this test? We did have a slip on the awkward ground but i can't remember where, this didn't affect our way of going.
This is unaffiliated prelim btw so marking won't be amazing
Thankyou

nearly impossible to say without seeing the actual test, but given that I am bored I will give it a go!

Enter A, centre line, working trot - horse is supple and listening, albeit a little wandering off the line. <font color="red"> 6 </font>
Accurate change of rein - diagonal buggered and forgotten about <font color="red"> 7, diagonals aren't marked in a dressage test </font>
Circle, correct inside bend but slightly distracted and hits the white outside/marker thing board (no spooking as she does so). <font color="red"> 5/6 </font>
Change of rein again - diagonal still forgotten but horse is clearly relaxed and listening and working near enough in a correct outline <font color="red"> 7 </font>
Circle, slightly rushed but accurate. <font color="red"> 6 </font>
Medium walk - 2 X 1/2 circles changing the rein - steady, forward pace and accurately ridden, horse VERY supple and correct bending <font color="red"> 7 </font>
Free walk 1/2 circle - tosses head once then works in relaxed contact on long rein <font color="red"> 6 </font>
Medium walk - happily accepts stronger contact but is not as rounded and supple <font color="red"> 6 </font>
Working trot - slightly rushed <font color="red"> 6 </font>
Working canter - starts on wrong leg but changes without trotting and when crosses diagonal loses momentum and trots but canter regained. <font color="red"> 3/4</font>
Trot at X and canter on next corner - lovely balanced and much more joint-work between us <font color="red"> 7 </font>
Working trot and half circle towards centre line - listening and good rhythmn. <font color="red"> 6/7 </font>
Square-ish halt. Rider salutes with a smile and horse looks pretty but no moving etc and is obedient. <font color="red"> 6/7 </font>
Leave on long rein back round to A, lots of pats issued <font color="red"> this movement wouldn't have been marked </font>

So I would estimate around 60% but this is hugely dependant on what the test was actually like!

Probably between 60-62% but all depends on the outline of the horse and whether the horse was on its forehand and how correctly it was working into the contact and over its back.
