From The Talland International School of Equitation
Grand Prix is the highest Dressage competition level defined by the Fédération Equestre International.
- Grand Prix is a highly demanding five-and-a-half-minute test requiring all of the basic schooling movements plus the fundamental airs of the Classical High School, including pirouettes (pivots on the spot at a prescribed gait), piaffe, passage and flying lead changes.
- Grand Prix Special is a seven minute test requiring the same movements as the Grand Prix but in a different order and with increased focus on the more advanced movements
- Grand Prix Freestyle (Kür) is performed to the accompaniment of a musical score. Most of the marks, based on purity of action, rhythm and regularity, impulsion and collection, are for technical performance.
