So I may be calling my first dressage test for a friend on Sunday.... Not too sure about the whole thing as I have never done it before, but I got a quick lesson on it today from my riding instructor. She basically told me that my job is to:
a}. make sure I give the instructions at least two markers ahead of time
b}. never call out more than two instructions at once
c}. make sure that the short movements are linked properly. For example ~ M to C, medium trot, CHXF medium walk should be called together; not separately
d}. stand at either E or B so that the rider can hear you at both ends of the area
e}. do not, under any circumstance, call anything other than the words on the page ~ otherwise the rider may be eliminated!
And there you have it, the basic A to E of calling a dressage test.
See ya!
