Question: Are there new Dressage Tests this year?

Answer:
NO, the test are the same as last year. The 2007 editions of The United States Equestrian Federation, Inc.® Dressage Tests for Training through Fourth Levels become effective with the beginning of the 2007 USEF competition year (December 1, 2006) and will remain in use for the next four (4) years (until November 30, 2010).


Question: Where can I get a blank copy of a Dressage Test?

Answer:
Training Level thru Fourth Level Dressage Tests such as those used by the judges to score your Test at a show, are available at the USEF website for those with an AUA (Authorized User Account) with USEF:

"As a new feature for members, officials and competitions, complete USEF score sheets are posted for free download via their “Authorized User” Accounts (AUA) on www.usef.org (for more information regarding Authorized User Accounts, please visit the Federation website). Anyone, whether a USEF member or not, may sign up for free AUA access."

Introductory Tests are available for purchase at USDF. Please keep in mind these score sheets are intended for competition use only and are legal-paper size. Most USEF members looking for tests for personal use will find the USEF Dressage Test Booklet as being the most convenient source for this information as it contains ALL information (including directives) from the score sheets. This convenient pocket-size booklet, which contains all movements, directives, and test information for Training through Fourth Level, can be ordered from USEF for a cover price of only $5 each (plus shipping). For the first time, this booklet also includes the USDF Introductory Level and Freestyle Tests, thereby being a complete national dressage test reference.
