Riding a Dressage Test

Riding a Dressage Test demystifies the requirements for dressage competition at preliminary novice and elementary levels. The international dressage judge David Trott explains in an easy-to-understand way exactly what the judge expects to see in the different movements of the tests. In addition an example of each test movement is given with comprehensive guidelines for riding the movements correctly. This book together with its stable companion Preparing for a Dressage Test is essential reading for both trainers and riders and will help competitors to maximize their test-riding potential.
