Suggested Wording

Memory
The FEI Driven Dressage Test must be driven from memory. Speaking or indication given by a groom will incurr 10 penalties (10 penalties can only be given once per Test). At ADS-recognized events the penalty for the above will be Elimination (see Art. 945.2

Reason for change

To remind people of the ADS exception to the new FEI Outside Assistance definition, and to prevent trainers to coach their driver / student while riding as groom on the carriage, which otherwise might gain them more than just 10 penalty points.

    No, yours is a NEW proposal, about calling the tests! As that would also ONLY apply to Training Level Tests! My proposal above is a simple reminder about our existing rules being put at the proper place! – and STILL needs to be acted upon!
