blanq Tests & Positions

Fellow & Student


Groundwork in the form of leadership-training is essential for us and continues through gymnastical work on the ground aswell as ridden. Bodylanguage on the ground, aswell as under the rider, is essential for us. The regular entry we describe for a so-called fellow, who can develop into a student.

For a ridden test we need at least a balanced seat. An advanced rider we define over an advanced seat, which primarily shows application in advanced ridden work and allows other aids to go to background.

A student needs to be recommended for a test.

Ambassador & Trainer

The highest rank in between the trainers, we call Ambassadors.

All Ambassadors have equal rank. However, Ambassadors can take on different functions or assignements as Regional Spokesman Country Spokesman

Judge/ Co-Judge Others

For the judgeing we follow the idea to have a co-judge-situation.

The co- judge is recommended out of Ambassadors.

It is also possible to follow blanq as a Non-Trainer Ambassador.

When the test was successful, the student get`s a stamp in his education- checkbook which is intended to provide guidance for the student.

The two entrance tests are defined as follows

second position – at the shoulder

Leading a horse from both sides in walk from inside and a few steps from outside position ( means changeing through the circle).
