when you do dressage...

[skye123]

and your horse canters on the wrong leg what do you do? do you do the movement again or just ask at the next corner?

 

[carthorse]

Just change as soon as you can

In a test situation? Come back to trot immediatly, rebalance and ask again. Dont be tempted to try and do a flying change, it wont impress ;p

Don't pretend you didn't notice - the judge will have noticed & you'll get a worse mark for carrying on than for sorting it out.

 

[merlinsquest]

go back to trot and ask again, you will get worse mark for not correcting

 

[kerilli]

trot immediately, rebalance, ask for correct leg. this will salvage some marks. blithely cantering on definitely won't!
you can't do the movement again unless you've committed an error of course, afaik.

 

[skye123]

ok thanks

Always correct every error ASAP...I used to think that if I missed the centre line..(over/under shot) better to carry on up to c straight...WRONG! Get back on cl asap and then go straight! Only discovered this when writing for pony club champs last year!!
