Grand Prix Freestyle

In the event of the following movements being deliberately shown the competitor will receive 0 for the whole movement and the scores for choreography as well as the degree of difficulty cannot be higher than 5.

• More than double pirouettes in canter (i.e. two pirouettes of more than 360 degrees each, in one continuous movement). Final mark for pirouettes 0. NB If the "illegal" pirouette was shown only to the left for example, then only the left pirouette would score 0, regardless of any other correctly executed left pirouettes, and vice versa if it was shown only to the right. In order to obtain a high technical score, canter pirouettes must be shown from a straight line to a straight line, in canter. Pirouettes may be shown from half pass to half pass.
• Piaffe. In order to obtain a high technical score piaffe must be shown on a straight line with a minimum of 10 steps straight. If piaffe is only shown in the form of a pirouette, it will be scored as technically insufficient. If a piaffe pirouette is shown in addition to a piaffe with a minimum of 10 steps straight it will be scored technically as usual.
• Passage. In order to obtain a high technical score, passage must be shown on one track (a minimum of 20m). If passage is only shown in the form of a half pass it will be scored as technically insufficient. If passage in half pass is shown in addition to a passage on one track, it will be scored technically as usual.
• If the walk is not shown on one track (on straight or curved lines only), but is only performed clearly as a lateral movement it is considered as 0.
• Travers and Renvers are allowed as part of the choreography.

However, if any movements, which are not mentioned at Grand Prix Level, are deliberately shown the competitor will be eliminated. E.g. Airs above the ground, cantering backwards, etc.
