BRC Riding Test 8 - Turn about the forehand??

[ecrozier]

Help!! Just been landed in the proverbial p** as someone has pulled out of our RC team for Sunday's area qualifier, and I have been volunteered to do this test!! Has anyone done it before? I have got myself totally confused about this 'turn about the forehand' lark....I haven't actually seen test sheet, have been read it over the phone and written it down so can have a try at it tomorrow, but you come down the centre line in trot, walk at D, then before X 'turn about the forehand' apparently? Does anyone have a copy of the test to confirm that is really what it is? And what on earth is it?? Is it the same as 'turn on the forehand'?
HELP!!!!!

I have the test but haven't ridden it. Yes, it seems to be a 180 degree turn, and I would assume it is the same as turn on the forehand.

Ok cool just got told by someone else it is like a pirouette but presumably that is when the front end moves round the back, whereas for this the back end in effect (simplifying this a lot obviously) moves around the forehand?
