Young Rider 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 half pirouettes in canter (i.e. more than 180 degrees) final mark for pirouttes, 0. NB. If the "illegal" pirouette was shown only to the left for example, then only the left pirouettes 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, half canter pirouettes must be shown from a straight line to a straight line, in canter. Half pirouettes may be shown from half pass to half pass. However, if half pirouettes are shown only from half pass to half pass the score will be insufficient. Half canter pirouettes performed from and into walk, will only be regarded in the harmony and choreography sections.
• Flying changes shown in sequences of two time and one time. Final mark for all flying changes, 0 (regardless of any other correctly shown four time and three time sequence changes). Counter changes of hand are allowed. The angles of which are left to the riders' discretion.
• 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 in Young Rider Level Tests (under compulsory movements), are deliberately shown the competitor will be eliminated. E.g. Piaffe, Passage.
