Dressage question

[Madam_max]

If you were to ride a 1/2 15m loop and back to the track what sort of shape would you say that was?

 

[monica987]

a banana shape off the track... It's hard to explain

 

[Bossanova]

A half 15m circle then a diagonal line back to the track, meaning you change the rein..... Maybe?!

 

[Tempi]

teardrop - is this a trick question?!?!

 

[Madam_max]

Yes, from R to V, but what sort of shape does it make?

 

[FREESTYLER]

Demi-volte, or reverse demi-volte when you do it the other way I believe!!

 

[Madam_max]

So if the judge said it was rather pear shaped would you be confused?

 

[Tempi]

Well they are meant to be pear shaped, surely??

 

[Madam_max]

*snigger* that's what I thought

 

[Tempi]

Honestly, we really need to move up north

 

[Folara]

I agree with tempi - would have said teardrop or pear shaped. Maybe the judge meant it was too much of a circle round and then a shallower straight bit ..... does that make sense?

 

[Madam_max]

Your so right

 

[Madam_max]

Maybe she meant 'it's all gone pear shaped' LMAO

 

[Little_Mare]

Look here and scroll down to "La demi volte" - maybe your return to the track was a bit curved

I don't know, crazy judges!

 

[Folara]

LMAO maybe she had been watching my horse!!

 

[Madam_max]

I'm sure that's what I did

 

[shadowboy]

[kildalton]

[FREESTYLER]

[Tempi]

[Madam_max]
