Dressage tests generally require the horse to walk, trot, and canter. Depending on the level of the test, circles (10 or 20 m), changes of direction, and serpentines may also be required. More advanced tests also involve the extended walk, trot, and canter (where the horse increases the length of his stride), and the highest levels include the passage (a very slow, elevated trot) and the piaffe (a passage literally in place). Other dressage movements include the leg-yield, where the horse steps sideways with his body bent away from the direction he is heading, and the half-pass, similar to the leg yield except the horse's body is bent in the same direction he is traveling.
