Dressage Level Translator

On our website we present the dressage level as indicated for the Dutch
competition levels. However, sometimes it is convenient to be able to estimate what this
level means in other countries. Therefore we have prepared the table below where we
indicate the various internationally known dressage elements in combination with the
various dressage levels of various countries, like Netherlands and USA.
For the various countries, the basic indications have
