Important Update: Clarification Regarding Judging of the 2022 USEF Novice Test B
In an attempt to create a clear picture for consistent scoring amongst judges, the following clarification has been made by the USEA Eventing Licensed Officials Committee regarding the 2022 USEF Novice Test B dressage test for eventing. This clarification is effective immediately.
Movement #3 on the 2022 USEF Novice Test B states:
B – F – A – K
WORKING TROT; OVER A TRANSITION TO MEDIUM WALK 4 TO 6 STEPS; PROCEED WORKING TROT

Judging the quality of the transitions and the correctness and quality of the medium walk, are essential in determining the score
