If your line splits, relabel yourself within the new line (new primary labels). Odds ride odd moves in the direction called, while even’s will go in the opposite direction. Secondary Labels ━ Label the line in numbered pairs (1, 1, 2, 2 etc). If the command “secondary” is added to a move, pairs labeled 1 will ride the move in the direction called, while pairs labeled 2 will ride the move in the opposite direction. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Directions ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Default Left ━ Left is the assumed direction in Dressage. If your commander does not specify a direction for a move, always go left! When passing another rider or line, pass left boot to left boot. In/Out Directions ━ When riding in split lines, the word “in” means to towards the other line, while “out” means away from the other line. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Fundamental Moves & Cues ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Cut Back ━ From a slant, all riders cut back towards their lead to be in their original line order. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Angle ━ On go, lead will cut 45 degrees and travel at a slant across the arena with the line following. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Belt ━ On go (for a set) or at the wall, the leader will curl over in the direction asked, all others follow the leader. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Comb ━ All riders cut across the arena on go. You will appear one horse ahead of everyone else on your screen (comb alignment). Comb ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Curl ━ On go, hold your arrow key in the gait (speed) you are currently in to complete a full circle. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Curl Over ━ All riders do half of a curl on go, without adjusting to the original track. This reverses the line order and direction. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Cut ━ On go, lead will cut 90 degrees and travel straight across the arena. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Cut Mid ━Cut the arena at the nearest mid letter (A, B, C, or E). ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── X ━ On "go", everyone will press X to halt instantly. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Gait Curl - Curl in the gait asked, but return to the gait you were originally in after your curl. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Halt Set ━ All riders walk on “set”, leader stops on “go” . All other riders walk up to be NTT. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Hard Stop ━ All riders stop on go by pressing down the arrow key as quickly as possible. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Pick Curl - Curl in the gait asked and continue forward in the gait you curled. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Pivot ━ ¼, ½, ¾, or full (360). Turn your horse the amount asked from a halt. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Rear ━ Wait for a step back, then press X (back key, X) ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Slide ━ From a comb or slant , all riders cut towards their lead on go to become straight again in their original line order. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Slant ━ On go, all riders slant in the direction said, aligning with the slanted lines on the ground.

THE STORY OF SSD "Star Stable Dressage" was founded by April Purplenight who has goals to unite the Dressage Community and offer a space where everyone could learn the ways of the arena and enter professional competitions together. Before SSD, the community was rather divided and it was hard to gain knowledge to participate - the goal of SSD was to change that and unify everyone while giving all individuals equal chance to grow their understanding of riding dressage.
