Colette, I am working my green horse with the goal of testing in Training Level next spring. You mentioned carrying a whip into the test. Can you clarify which levels this is acceptable at & which it is not? I was of the impression that a whip is never allowed in a test.<br />
Also, for those levels where carrying a whip during the ride is acceptable, is a rider allowed to carry two? I typically train with two (to avoid the switching hands during my ride) and it would be helpful to know as I train this winter how I will need to be able to ride each exercise in the tests & work towards responsiveness from my mare using the external aids I will be allowed in the ring.<br />
