The Pyramid of Training offers riders a progressive and interrelated system through which to develop the horse over time. Competitive dressage involves progressively difficult levels incorporating multiple tests within each level. Each test is a series of movements that must be performed by the horse and rider. Each movement is scored by a judge on a scale of 0-10. The horse and rider work together to perform movements that seem effortless and flow gracefully from one to the next. This form of riding develops a great foundation of balance and harmony.
