Dressage Diagrams

According to Horse & Hound quite a few BD's 2024 tests have the same floor plan as existing tests. For example:

𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗢𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁

Intro 1 Intro A
Intro 2 Intro B
Intro 3 Intro C

Prelim 1 Prelim 2
Prelim 2 Prelim 12
Prelim 4 Prelim 15
Prelim 5 Prelim 19
Prelim 6 Prelim 17A

If you want to get our diagram versions of these (including judges view) , you only have until 31 st May.

Read the H&H article here:

British Dressage (BD) has revealed the new dressage tests that will come into force 1 July 2024. In this article we break down what riders need to know.

We are introducing an exciting new service for those who don’t want the hassle of adding a test to your portfolio. Now you can send it to us in any legible form and we’ll add it for you. The test is then yours as if you’d done it yourself.

You can send us a test in any legible form - text, scribbles, even audio.

The service is available to new 6-month (1 test) and 12-month (up to 3 tests) subscriptions starting from 1st May.

UPDATE

Following the lively response to my announcement that we could no longer sell British Dressage Diagrams, here is my current understanding about diagram availability.

* 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦 𝘕𝘖 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 2024 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘴? 𝘈 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘋 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭.

On 9th April, BD launched diagrammatic test plans (standard view only) available to order by post from the BD shop. BD say that digital downloads, judges-view and accesible versions will be coming soon.

Testpro does not yet offer the option to download whole-test or judges-view diagrams but have said they will be offering these in the future. Until that happens, it's standard view only by post.

𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘉𝘋 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘴?

DD has a very simple charging model for test diagrams - tests cost £2 each. The new BD diagrams are in packs of 6 for £15 (4 tests for £10 in the case of Intro) with a £5 reduction if you buy 2 packs. Postage is included. As far as I can see there is no option to buy them individually.

I recently announced that we would no longer be able to sell British Dressage tests from June. Your response has been way beyond what I expected in terms of the overwhelmingly supportive and positive tone. Thank you all.

With so many comments (over 150), replying individually would take forever. I propose to combine all the answers into a single response which I will post in a few days.

For now, I just want to clarify one issue. When we stop selling BD tests, your portfolio will NOT be affected– existing tests will remain in place.

John Lewis, Dressage Diagrams.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

I am sorry to announce that, from June 2024, we will no longer be allowed to sell diagrams of British Dressage tests. BD has decided to take direct control of all test material with diagrams available through the TestPro app.

One consequence is that you will not be able to download and print whole-test or judges-view diagrams of the 2024 tests. We will be starting a new service, creating bespoke diagrams for any test you want for personal use. These will include judges view and views from the arena sides.

We will still be selling other tests such as FEI, British Eventing, Pony Club and Dressage Ireland.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post a response.

Over the last couple of months, Apple have been rolling out updates for iPhone, Mac and iPad. Our website was impacted by these updates with random movement lines not displaying.

I am pleased to say we have found a way around this and diagrams now display correctly with the latest updates.

All other devices (including previous versions of iPhone, Mac and iPad) continued to work throughout this period

Many of us have trouble working out how to ride certain shapes in the arena, so we have come up with a couple of small booklets in the Kindle e-book format. Large scale diagrams illustrate the shapes encountered in dressage tests, so you can learn to ride them precisely. The superimposed grid shows the exact path each shape should follow. We cover circle, half circle, serpentine, loop, jug handle and figure of eight, all in various different sizes.

You can get them in the Amazon store:

I am glad to say our website is back up again. I apologise for the inconvenience of the last day and a half

Our website is still down because of serious problems at our internet provider Fasthosts. They have managed to restore some of the affected websites and will continue through the UK night. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

I am sorry to say our website has been down for over 12 hours now. There's a problem at my internet provider which has stopped many websites from working. They are working on it but no news yet. Very disappointed it is taking so long. I will let you know when we are back.
