Is sitting trot compulsory during dressage tests?

Hi there, I'm just wondering if in the dressage stage of a three day event. Do you have to 'sit trot' or can you 'rise' if you wish? Also, are spurs compulsory at GP level dressage? Regards, Rhonda."

H&C blogger and Olympic bronze medallist Sharon Hunt replies: "Hi Rhonda. Thanks for your question. You do have to do sitting trot in the dressage stage of a three day event and in answer to the second part of your question, you do have to wear spurs at GP level dressage.

I hope this helps.

With best wishes,
Sharon."
