SOURCES (legend)
SSDD = These moves are sourced directly from the Star Stable Dressage Dictionary.
UNLISTED = These are moves that were previously sourced from the SSDD, but have since been removed – however some of the moves are still being used, so I kept them in the database.
CREATED = These moves are created by users and are not shown in the SSDD. Most moves of this sort do not have a listed level/type, so they are all listed as unspecified (‘unspec’). Moves sourced from the community section of the SSDD are also categorized as created moves.
Created moves have been collected from various sources and do not depict an author or ownership, nor does Shadow Town claim ownership of these or any other move in this database, including those introduced by an ST member.
MOD = This is text added to the source to indicate the move was modified from its original definition, most modified moves will include both original and modified definitions, and possibly a reason for the modification.
TYPES [LEVELS] (legend)
This column indicates the type or level of the move as; advanced, beginner, elite, follow, fundamental, halted, halting, intermediate, or unspecified – note that I re-designated circle moves into other levels rather than to have them segregated in their own section.
SPECIFICATIONS <columns A L R T> (legend)
A = AXIS [m, a] .. this specifies if a move must be performed away from the wall ([m] mid-arena) or if it can be performed anywhere [a], including next to the wall.
L = LINES [s, t] … this specifies if a move starts from a single line [s] or from multiple lines [t], such as tier, rein, split, or waterfall); the alignment(s) required are usually specified in the definition.
R = RIDERS [1, x, e] … this specifies the number of riders needed to perform the move with optimal results. A [1] can be performed with a single rider, an [x] indicates more than one rider is needed for proper results (such as wave moves), an [e] indicates an even number of riders are needed to perform properly (such as partnered moves).
T = TRACK [f, i] … this specifies if a move is a follow move [f] or an independent move [i]; such as angle (follow) vs. slant (independent), or cut (follow) vs. comb (independent).
MOVE TITLES
This column shows the titles of the moves as they most typically appear in commands.
DEFINITIONS
This column gives the text description of how the move is to be performed, to include compilations of lower level moves. Note that there some moves where I reversed their move direction to comply with the two “if no direction is given” rules: {1}”Always Default Left” and {2}”in split moves, Odds Always Default Left, Evens Opposite”.
One example of this is in the move “Clover”; the SSDD depicts RLLR pattern, while I depict a LRRL pattern.
PICS
This column is for clickable links to top view picture diagrams of how the moves should be performed (as if it were drawn on paper). If a move has such a diagram, this box will contain the clickable word “Show”; clicking this link will display the associated diagram.
VIDS
This column is for clickable links to videos showing how moves appear when performed live in the arena. If a move has such a video, this box will contain the clickable word “Play”; clicking this link will display the associated video.

ssdd MOD | halted | m | s | x | i | Braid {or Auto Braid} | BRAID: from a single halted line in at least HH gaps, the rider at the back of the line (on go) will veer in the called direction and weave (at a trot) back and forth between the riders in front of them, HALTING at the front of the line in the halted line gap. this pattern is repeated with a go for each rider. AUTO BRAID: is the same as braid except all riders automatically begin to weave in the called direction after the rider behind them passes in front of them in the called (or default/standard club) line gaps; if gaps are maintained, they should be true as the moving riders pass between the halted riders. with auto braid, the first rider starting the weave does not weave a second time and by default will HALT at the end of the line with the halted line gap, unless directed to continue leading the line forward. TIP: auto braid reverses the line order while weaving thru the line, so if there are slower riders in the back of the line, HALF PIVOT the line before an auto braid so slower riders are not weaving in front of the faster riders. | ||

ssdd MOD | advan | m | s | e | i | Button | on 1st go odds COMB in called direction, on 2nd go evens KEYHOLE the opposite direction. this should result in couples. »»» this move is still being tested for proper turnout, as the move exactly as directed above places the evens too far behind the odds to consider them couples. here are some other variations we have come up with... MOD1: (one go) odds KEYHOLE LEFT and evens COMB RIGHT (this should make couples with evens in front). pending the desired outcome, adding a curl anywhere to the even's movement will restore the odds to the front. examples: evens curl comb instead of comb; or evens can add a curl to a cut when remerging the line; or evens can simply curl anywhere during regular line movement. MOD2: as original definition, except odds CURL COMB instead of comb. | ||

(1 go) | ||
ssdd | begin | a | s | e | i | Couple (aka, Buddy Comb) | on go odds COMB and evens follow behind the odds in front of them. This results in partner groups, or "couples". | ||
ssdd | elite | a | t | e | i | Crescent | in a tight rein (ride brushing boots), the inside riders will WALK CURL while the outside riders do a gradual CANTER CURL around them. (The rider cantering will need to adjust their circle to go around their partner, rather than through them. A tip for this would be to canter a step before turning into the curl). | Play | |

ssdd MOD | follow | m | s | x | f | Dye Split {Left, Right, Opp}, aka Dye Divide | at mid, riders SPLIT to adjacent corners towards the same short wall. MOD: adding LEFT to the command indicates odds will cut to the dye on the left while evens continue straight on the current dye; adding RIGHT to the command indicates odds will continue straight on the current dye while evens will cut to the dye on the right; adding OPP to the command indicates odds cut to the dye on the left while evens cut to the dye on the right (hence, SPLIT to opposite corners). | ||
unlisted | advan | m | t | e | i | Eagle | an erose, but the back line FULL PIVOTS and the front line does a WALK RETREAT BEAR (curl, then bear) and stops straight on the line axis next to the back line facing the opposite direction. | Play | |
created | unspec | a | s | 1 | f | EBelt (Elastic Belt) | this is the same as BELT, elastic simply means the BELT is automatically repeated every time the rider reaches the wall (or specified point); most typically this causes the line to continually go back and forth between two walls. | ||
ssdd | halted | m | t | e | i | Erose | (current revised halted move definition) = in a side-by-side halted waterfall, on go the back line will WALK CURL in the called direction then halt in line with the line in front. on the same go the front line of the waterfall will do a FULL PIVOT in the OPPOSITE direction called. (original advanced move definition) = in a halted waterfall facing horizontal, the back line will WALK CURL in called direction then align with the line in front of them at a walk. The line in front will do a FULL PIVOT in the SAME direction called. | ||

unlisted | follow | m | t | x | f | Goldie Lox | a follow resembling lock; while in waterfall, leads do a KEYHOLE AWAY and end up passing left-to-left on mid - as soon as their rear hooves pass the midpoint between the lines, KEYHOLE the opposite direction as the first keyhole, resulting a merged single file line. all other riders follow their leads. | ||
created | unspec | m | s | x | i | Grizzly | odds BEAR LEFT, evens CUB RIGHT (the even's curl over requires a 2nd go). | ||

ssdd MOD | inter | m | t | e | i | Half Revolve | a revolve move, but riders CURL OVER (left) towards their partner and head back the direction they came from. (commander: call the go when the horses' noses are about to meet.) MOD: the commander may opt to have the riders automatically start the revolve when their front hooves reach the midline (or the midpoint between the lines). | ||
ssdd MOD | inter | a | s | 1 | i | Halfway {Rev} {Bee, Orbit, I/Mill} Curl | the 1st half of this curl is at the gait of the 1st curl of the transition called, the second half of this curl is at the gait of the 2nd curl of the transition called. if no transition is called, the default HALFWAY CURL is that of a bee curl; first half at a trot, second half at a canter. the valid transition curls for this move are the bee, orbit and i (or mill) curls, and of course, their reverses. Tip: Since the 1st gait is normally slower than the 2nd gate, it is recommended to use the reversed versions of the curls for this move when the line is close to the wall so the riders dont crash into the wall. | ||
ssdd MOD | funda | a | s | 1 | i | Halt Set | all riders walk on "set". the leader stops on "go", and all other riders will walk forward and stop NTT to the rider in front of them. MOD: though the ssdd states to walk on "set", it is generally practiced to walk on "pre"; and the standard halting gap for Shadow Town is the next closer gap than that of the ordered moving line gap. | ||
ssdd | funda | a | s | 1 | i | Hard Stop | all riders stop on go by pressing their slow/back key as many times as needed to stop their horse as quickly as possible. do not adjust gaps, alignment, or angles (turning) on a hard stop, simply stop and hold your position exactly as you are and where you are. | ||
