EIDEA Freestyle Test Sheets for Intro & Training Levels

Freestyle dressage tests are ridden to music. Dressage movements and figures are choreographed to meet the technical requirements for each level. Combining the individual movements with the perfect music produces beautiful performances where horse and rider appear to dance.

While the USDF offers test from First to Fourth levels, your hard working Awards Committee has created test sheets for Intro and Training Level Freestyle competition for schooling shows. EIDEA is making them available for any schooling show that would like to use them.
