Walk Trot Dressage test

Dd came second in a Walk Trot Dressage competition today, beating 7 adults, despite only deciding to enter on the day and not knowing the test! Can only assume that they are much easier than I thought - go for it, everyone!

don't be hard on dd - it is probably harder to do well as you would have to be accurate and consistent as there is less to separate the riders without the canter! hope she enjoyed the experience!

She did do well, and is extremely proud of herself. Actually not knoing the test probably worked in her favour - her expectations were so low that she wasn;t even remotely nervous!

Oh well done dd. I had a go at a walk/trot video dressage, but the horse I was riding (a friend's) was used to doing dressage to a higher standard and decided to throw in some extended trot and canter work. I don't think I have laughed so much in a long time! I didn't send the video in though

Gosh - just found out that 67.4% is a pretty good score!
