Inside or Outside?

It was explained earlier that 'inside' and 'outside' related to your position with respect to the arena. Inside was simply that side of the horse which is closest to the centre of the arena or the circle you are on.

For most work this holds good. Dressage riders mean slightly different things when they refer to inside and outside.

The concave side of the horse is the inside; the convex the outside. This applies without considering where the centre of the arena is.
