Notes for Freestyle Tests Beginners Freestyle Why not enter our Beginners Walk & Trot Freestyle class Invent a routine at home and then - Come and give it a try – put a few easy school movements together pick things that you know you and your horse can do well, be inventive & have fun. You can use movements such as 20m circles, changes of rein, half 10m circles, 3 loop serpentines and loops 5m in from the track. Remember that in dressage tests you usually repeat the same trot movements on both reins, show some medium walk and a free walk on a long rein. You can put your test together with or without music. Your test must include: Enter at A and proceed down centre line, then, Finish with halt, immobility and salute at X facing the judge, minimum time 3.5 minutes, maximum time 4 minutes. Music will be timed from entering the arena at A. You will also be judged on riders equestrian skill & balance, harmony, choreography, use of the arena and inventiveness, interpretation of the music.
