FYI: A Combined Test consists of any two of the three "tests" that make up a horse trials. Usually, the two events are dressage and stadium because the most costly part of a horse trials is the cross country course. Hence, your Combined Test score is the sum of the penalties from your dressage test and your stadium jumping round.

In addition to doing the Combined Test, you can also elect to ride an additional dressage test(s) or additional jumping round(s). Or you can ride two separate Combined Tests at two different levels (consecutive levels, if with the same horse).
