Dressage test question...

[H-J]

Quick question about my test on Sunday - I know how to ride it just getting panicky about 1st event of the season I think!!

So when you do the below movement:

A Working trot half circle left, 20m diameter
X Half circle right 20m diameter


When you come to A do you stay on track then circle as if you was doing a 20 at A then a X circle and hit track and continue on finishing at C??? I know how to ride the movemnt just didnt know if from A and from X if you should hit the track of not?? From X should I start to the half circle to C and not hit track??

Or should I do a perfect "S" hitting track both ends??

Sorry if that has confused anyone!!

If you are doing a 20mtr at A then you should be moving off track at A and hit the the long side 10 mtres up (4mtrs past quarter marker). Finish your half cirlcle 1 stride before X and start your second half circle 1 stride after X so you have 2 straights strides to rebalance the horse and show definite change of bend. Second half circle should touch the long side 4mtrs before quarter marker then rejoin track at C

Have drawn you a very poor diagram. Prob will not help at all lol!

Red points indicate where I would hit track and "x".

I do a couple of straight strides over X before going off on next 1/2 circle.
