The test emphasizes free and medium walk, working trot rising, and a controlled halt with salute, while demonstrating steady tempo, clear rhythm, and acceptance of contact with the bit. Accuracy of test geometry is required through transitions and movements such as 20-meter circles, rein changes, and centerline work. Scoring and penalties govern errors and omissions, with specific arena timing guidance.","2023 USDF INTRODUCTORY LEVEL– TEST A  \nWALK—TROT  \nREQUIREMENTS: Free walk Medium walk Working trot rising 20 meter circle Halt through walk  \nPURPOSE: To introduce the rider and/or horse to the sport of dressage, confirming that they are beginning to develop an understanding of correct dressage basics.
