change diagonal?

[vickers22]

sorry for all last min questions-but are you meant to change diagonal so you are on the correct diagonal every time you to a 3 loop serpintine?complete dressage novice

 

[zigzag]

Yes (or I do anyway as you go on the straight bit )

 

[Llwyncwn]

Yes you should otherwise you may lose a mark in the collectives

 

[summertoots]

Yes, as you cross the centre line.

i remember doing my first ever dressage test when i was about 10 and i changed onto the wrong diagonal every time on the serpintine

i didnt realise until i got my sheet later and the judge had commented on it!

I was writing at the weekend at Burgie for the Novice taster class and alot of people were riding on the wrong diagonal. The judge said she couldn't mark them down as it was not in BD rules or something like that. But it is correct to change the diagonal.

ah thanks you are all life savers!!just to check-correct diagonal is when outside shoulder is back when you sit right?!
