Possibly very numpty dressage test question

[Ambers Echo]

The test intruction is:

F-K 1/2 20m circle.

For a 20m circle from A the apex of the circle is X. But if the 1/2 20m circle starts at F then where is the apex?

 

[Nicnac]

If it's a 20 x 60 then apex is at L.

 

[Ambers Echo]

No it's a 20X40 - I assuke I'm heading vaguely for X! But I'd prefer to know exactly.

 

[White Horse2]

Is this long arena? Presumably L

 

[Ambers Echo]

No 20X40 - Test BE102

 

[Tiddlypom]

That's rather weird, I've not come across that before. Is this a BE test?

X posted, seen that it is a BE test.

ETA Can't find a BE100 97. Is it on the current BE test list?

Ok then from D to X it's 14m so you'd have to visualise 4m in from that as there isn't an L in a 20x40!

BE 97 is a 90 test not a 100?

 

[Ambers Echo]

I keep answering questions before they are asked! But I got it wrongabove anyway:

BE100 102 (2010). I'm doing 2 tests next week anf the other is the BE90 97

Ok thanks. Yes sorry - I am doing both tests next week - a BE90 and a BE100 and posted the wrong one. I have now edited above just to confuse people new to the thread!!

 

[milliepops]

yeah, as above. 4m short of X.

 

[Nicnac]

Ok only place I can find where you can get the test with diagrams is Dressagediagrams and it's £2. Sorry I don't have that one in my portfolio or I'd zap it over.

As it's FWLR movement therefore a slow one, visualise a SJ pole from X plus a bit and aim for there! Lots on You Tube too which should give you an idea.

 

[Ambers Echo]

That's great, thank-you.

The judge at C really can't see properly how deep you do the half circle so approximate is fine!
