off the top of my head having not looked at my mediums in a while i 'think' it is where you have canter half pass from the side to the center line on both reins. quite a bit of counter canter, trot half pass, shoulder in and travers. and I also think it was a short arena test.
oh to get doing mediums again *crosses fingers and preys etc that the drugs continue to do job and Dan will become dressage sound again asap!!*

if its the one i'm thinking then its the first medium I did on Dan and I managed 65%!!!
It reads nasty but actually flows nicely as each movement sets you up for the next.
The canter half pass is good because a change of rein is not included as you turn the bottom corner of arena then half pass to top centre line marker (eg one you halt at near judge LOL ) then go straight then track so that you are still on the same rein. means if you cant get enough half pass you can still easily turn and you just get penalised for not reaching the centre line. Also as a short arena you only have to maintain the medium trot for a shorter distance than if a long arena diagonal.
Its definetly a good first medium but again this is on the presumption its the one i think it is LOL

i did it as my first (and only) Medium and managed 64.5%. i think it rides quite nicely compared to some of the others! my canter half pass was not very established, but he made up for it with his other movements. i wont be doing any more on my boy though
