Pairs Dressage Test B

'Dressing' is the term used to access the ability for the pair to work 'together' when riding side by side and when riding apart. Rider 1 starts the test to the RIGHT of rider 2. Please make sure that the zoom is set so that the whole of the A end of the school is in the frame (this may mean it not being set to full zoom- or may mean using the zoom whilst videoing if you have this facility) and please do not follow any particular rider when riding apart.
