Does anyone have an copies of beginner tests they can scan in or email me? I want to start trying Spike's hooves at it but I lost my whole book of tests a couple of years ago!

You could try Interdressage tests - they arent proper (BD) ones but you could practice them and if you want to compete you can video and send in the tape to be judged.

off the site:

STARTER DRESSAGE TESTS
ARE AIMED AT:
ANY RIDER WANTING TO GAIN EXPERIENCE
NOVICE HORSES
NERVOUS OR NOVICE RIDERS
DISABLED RIDERS
RIDING SCHOOL PUPILS
FIRST TIMERS

The judge will be looking for:

Accuracy
Balance of horse
Rhythm
Elasticity and freedom of paces
Responsiveness
Submission
Horse and rider in harmony
Rider in a secure position
Effectiveness of riders aids
Riders balance

Try the walk and trot ones, style and performance (includes jumps), starter freestyle (make up your own, includes turn on the forehand so might be too hard), starter plus might also be too hard - only looked at one of them. Any of the starter tests.
