Ive told you my handy tips for tonight
But as you wont take my advice, im not going to give you anymore
Seriously tho - make sure your turns onto the centre line for the legyield are accurate, and dont start the leg yield too early either.

I rode this as my first elem on J the other day. It's a really nice test and flows well.
The walk movements span accross 3 sets of marks so if your horse has a good walk make sure you capitalise on this. God turns onto the CL for leg yields and make sure you finish the LY well with the 1/4's following through.
At A&C wen picking up canter remember you are going immediately into a 15m circle, I forgot on the second and ended up on more of a 17m oval!
Also at the end you have lengthened canter to collected canter to collected trot, really prep for the transition between the two canters.
Good luck!

ha ha! Don't worry I made the same silly mistake when I first rode this test so we're muppets together!
On a more serious note though, this is a really nice test to ride and to echo what was said above just make sure your centre lines into the leg yield are straight. Also really focuss on a good medium canter as I noticed that not many people really show that much of a change and it will really help to pick up marks. Good luck
