Hi there, I entered a pony club dressage test thinking it would be a blast, but I'm actually a bit confused at some of the movements, and don't have time to get my instructor out before the comp.

**HXK 10m loop passing through X with a 10m circle right at X (XEX)**
I presume this is a leg yield to make the loop?

**Before F : Half circle 15m right, returning diagonally to the track at R **
is this a half circle, and then a "corner"??

Thanks for your help, and I presume these are horribly simple questions, but just checking!
 
The second one looks like a simple change of rein. Come off the track before the end, nice half circle to the three quarter line. From there, a diagonal (straight no bend) line back to the track.

First one is start using the long diagonal from H but at X go onto a 10m circle around to E and back to X then you get back to X make a straight line to K.

Nothing too difficult so watch a few people do it before you to put your mind at rest.

Good luck & Enjoy.

The other is a teardrop change of rein I believe. So half circle - 15m is to the 3/4 line and then head on a straight line back towards R. The half circle is the blobby bit of the tear and the straight line creates the upper pointy bit that makes the teardrop shape complete.
 
Yeah, the 2nd one sounds like the 15m 1/2-circle in N28. The trick is not to make it too small: remember that F to the wall is only 6m, so if you put it in "just before F", you pretty much need to hit the track to make a radius of 7.5m.
