Top 10 Signs Your Dressage Test Needs Some Work
10. Your working trot had you working harder than your horse.
9. Your horse confuses the arena rail for a cavaletti; exits at K
8. The shape of your circles reminds the judge that he should pick up eggs on the way home.
7. Your serpentine was perfect, except that it was supposed to be down a straight centerline.
6. The sitting trot has caused some fillings to be loosened in your lower molars.

And the number one sign that your dressage test needs more work:

Stop...carrot thief! Can't leave a snowman alone in a pasture without some equine snagging his nose! Donkeys are cute...I see them sometimes at horsemen's open houses doing demonstrations of driving. I once rode their cousin on a trail ride in PA. I was with a girlfriend who'd not ridden before and she kept rhapsodizing over how calm the "horse" was and how tall, etc. Finally I told her she was riding a mule.
