Back in riding after a 10 year break. Bought a 6 year old Percheron/QH cross mare called Nikki and am having a grand old time. I am working as a farrier specializing in barefoot trim, but I can also apply shoes when necessary.
What do you perform in a first level test? I have a first and second level pocket guide but I've never used it. The few riding instructions I've had over the years have included very minimal dressage, mostly I like jumpers, and long distance trail but in future years I hope to compete at eventing, on my homebreds. I can do turn on the haunches and forehand. flying changes in a straight line, Pass, and half pass? If that's what it was called? When you trot along the rail, then break off at the corner, & trot sideways from corner to corner.
I realize these are'nt the most orthodox descriptions of Dressage, maybe you could teach me something.

You should join the group "Draft Cross Owners and breeders, and tell us your goals with your horse.
Are you planning to start her yourself?
