Prerequisites: (attach a Score Record from USDFscores.com)
Three scores from three different USEF-licensed dressage judges: two scores of 65% or higher at the highest test of Second Level and one score of 62% or higher at Third Level or above. Three scores of 62% or higher at Third level or above from three different USEF-licensed dressage judges or any combination of these requirements would meet the requirements to enter Part 2.
