Instead of starting from 5 and playing 'safe'' Someone (can't remember who) once said that before a horse performs a movement in a dressage test, the movement HAS to be worth a 10, so you work from there, eg. a little resistant - 9, lacking a little in cadence - 8, not on the marker - 7 and so on. Looking forward to seeing these tests on the internet sometime soon. Great to see judges finally using the full scale of marks. Instead of starting from 5 and playing ’safe”
