Prelim 10 query

[Troggy]

I am doing Prelim 10 on Saturday and am now having a panic moment! One of the movements is KD Half circle left 10 metres diameter, returning to the track at E. Please can someone confirm how the movement should be ridden? Do you touch the track at E or should I already be on the track and going forwards by E? I assume I have to touch the centre line at D?
I get the rough shape, just need the finer points confirming!
Any other tips also gratefully received…

Thanks

As you finish your half circle just ride a straight line back to the track towards the E marker. When you get to the track at E then carry on down the track towards H.
Hope that helps.

1/2 10m circle should miss the track on the short side by 1m and touch the centre line at D. You then head back towards E aiming for the front legs to hit the track ever so slightly before E so you are pretty much straight as you go past E. Realistically the judge cant see exactly where you hit the track so dont panic about it too much.

Hi, This movement actually rides quite nicely.

You do touch the centre line at d and then I would head for getting back on outside track a touch before E so that you are straight for E, as you would when changing the rein.

Excuse the crap diagram!

That's brilliant - thanks all!

Known as the tear-drop test for that reason - the half circle then straight back to track
