Notes on WRDA Freestyle Classes
For
competitors who have entered our Introductory A class, have a try at WRDA Beginners Freestyle class – Walk trot
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.
As a suggestion you
can use things like 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 movements on both reins and show a free walk on a long
rein.
You
can put your test to music or ride it without.
Your test must include:
Enter at A and proceed down
the centre line then, Finish with halt,
immobility and salute at X facing the judge, minimum time 3.5 minutes, maximum
time 4 minutes.
You
will be judged on things like riders equestrian skill & balance, harmony,
choreography, use of the arena and inventiveness, interpretation of music.
For
competitors who have entered our Prelim classes; have a try at our WRDA Freestyle class – Walk trot canter. The
same as above but put a bit of canter in there. This is a prelim level class,
so please use movements that you would see in a prelim test. No pirouettes or flying
changes thank you!
Your test must include

centre line
