Free downloads
Our working-area diagrams and test guidance are free to download, print and ride at home — whether or not you enter a competition with us.
Each diagram is a one-page printable A4 sheet showing the working area, centre line, centre point, approximate 20 m circles and the recommended camera position.
Class 6
A short, welcoming ridden test for horses and riders new to competing, or returning after a break. Ridden in a preferred 20 m × 40 m working area with improvised markers permitted.
Class 7
An open-level ridden test including canter on both reins, ridden in a preferred 20 m × 40 m working area with improvised markers permitted.
Groundwork
The founding groundwork pattern is ridden — or rather led — in hand in an approximately 20 m × 20 m level, safe working space. It includes halts, turns, rein-back, an obstacle or pole element and trot in hand, and is judged on accuracy, partnership, handler technique and presentation.
The full movement-by-movement sequence, equipment rules, permitted assistance and penalty schedule are published on the class page.
