Dressage Through The Levels - Part 1

Demonstration by Iola Evans BHSII & staff of the Rheidol Riding Centre.
Website http://www.rheidol-riding-centre.co.uk

A fun evening which may answer many of the questions asked and perhaps inspire you to compete yourselves.

Tests ridden in shows are used as a measure of the correctness of the horse's (and rider's) schooling.

The scoring scale is as follows:
10-Excellent, 9-Very good, 8-Good, 7-Fairly good, 6-Satisfactory, 5-Sufficient, 4-Insufficient, 3-Fairly bad, 2-Bad, 1-Very bad, 0-Not performed

The collective marks are based on:
Gaits - the freedom and regularity of the horse's movement.
Impulsion - the horse's desire to move forward, elasticity of steps, roundness.
Submission - the horse's attention and confidence, harmony with rider, lightness of movements, and acceptance of the bit.
Rider's position and seat - correctness and effect of the aids.
