What is the olympic eventing dressage test?
the olympic dressage test is were you have to dress to impress the people and see what kind of stunts and jumps on your horse. have funn lol They are using the 2008 Four Star Olympic Dressage Test B,Short Version (per the How Eventing Works website listed below). This test can be printed out from http://www.fei.org/Events/Olympic_Games/Documents/2008OG4StarTestBShortVersion2007_000.pdf The test includes 23 scored movements and four collective marks, for a total of 270 points. The movements include collected, medium, and extended trot; collected and extended canter; extended and medium walk; counter canter; flying change of lead; shoulder in; half pass; and halt. The purpose of the dressage test in eventing is to demonstrate that the horse is obedient to the rider's directions - an absolute necessity for a cavalry mount, cavalry competitions being the origin of modern eventing. In addition, the dressage is done on the first day of the competition (or, in lower-level competitions that are completed on a single day, the first thing in the morning) to show that the horses are obedient even when they are rested and full of energy. The dressage tests ridden by eventers are less demanding than those ridden in regular dressage competitions, and the stadium jumping (third phase) is less demanding than that ridden by the jumpers. The eventing horses are generalists who must do a lot of things well, as opposed to dressage or stadium jumping horses who can concentrate on doing one thing extremely well.
