Hi Noel.
Dressage tests can be downloaded from the ADS site.
I don't understand what you are saying to use cones on a dressage test. The
different levels in cones are mainly the width of the cones. I would suggest
using a narrower width when in practice. At least one level above your level.
However, when first starting a green horse, I would suggest a very --- W I D
E --- cone sitting, and slowly bringing the cones together. Some horses, will
try to duck away from the cones. If your horse is ducking open up the space.

One ideal way to create a cones course is to take a driven dressage test for
the level you want and set it up with cones.
That way you can be sure that you are not exceeding the expected level of
performance for the whips and their equines.
I learned by first dressage tests by dragging the arena with the tractor in
the pattern....much easier that trying to follow the numbers....but cones would
work too.
Are the ADS dressage tests available for download?
