What is 1st level percentage in dressage?

In dressage, 1st Level is the introductory level of competition that focuses on basic movements and the horse's obedience and responsiveness. At this level, riders are expected to demonstrate fundamental skills such as working trot, canter, and simple changes of lead, along with basic figures like circles and transitions. The emphasis is on rhythm, suppleness, and the horse's willingness to perform the required movements accurately. Scoring is based on a percentage system, where judges evaluate each movement and provide an overall score reflecting the performance quality.
