Product Information

If you have a relatively flat outdoor space you would like to use for a dressage arena, here is a Facebook post I did about how I set up an arena in one of our fields. Be your own horse! Find an open space such as your barn aisle, a conference room, an empty tennis court, or a patch of sand on the beach. Mark out a mini dressage arena with a 1:3 dimension ratio. Walk, trot and canter your test in your mini arena. Ignore the looks you get from the people around you!

The WDAA 2017 tests were retired March 1, 2022. Only WDAA 2022 tests can be used in western dressage classes.

There are also five marks given at the end of each test called the Collective Marks: Gaits, Submission, Impulsion, Rider’s Seat and Position, and Rider's Correct and Effective Use of Aids.

FEI has made minor changes in their 2022 Eventing tests in CCI 1* M3,9, 5*A M12,14,19, 5*B M16 for clarification that do not affect the diagrams.FEI has made minor changes to all their classic dressage test forms such as Seniors, Childrens, Juniors, etc., particularly those labeled "Updated 2022" regarding penality scoring and/or horse information which do not affect the diagrams. The 2022 USEF Intermediate Test C, which is written for use in a 20x40 arena, may only be used for eventing competitions that demonstrate a topographical or logistical hardship which renders the venue unable to assemble a 20x60 arena in the designated competition area. The process to request permission to use this test can be found here. Late requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed to receive approval prior to the start of the competition.

Get instant access to diagrams of tests from US Dressage Federation, The Pony Club, British Eventing, British Riding Clubs and British Dressage. Dressage test designers and kur competitors can also create and print their own dressage tests.Ask a friend to video or consider investing in something like Pivo to video you and your horse riding your test (don't be hard on yourself) and focus on the pattern and your timing so you can be prepared for each movement. Tests remain in effect for at least 4 years from the “Title Year” printed on each Test. These tests can be used for training or showing purposes. Western Dressage Rules and Tests are based in Dressage fundamentals and showcase applications for the Working Western Horse. Our Western Dressage Tests are designed with progressive elements to showcase the developing skill of horse and rider. Every test has an associated score sheet created with a series of boxes, where the judge assigns a score and often a comment for the movement performed.
