[izzy2512]

For my test I have to do a 10m half circle. just wondering if i am right by doing this :

but thats a FULL circle :confused:

Whats the NEXT movement ??

[kayjayhorses]

is it a half 10m circle from B to X? Which test are you doing?

[Konch]

2 10m half circles from B to E? imagine an S on its side. Make sure you have 2 steps on the straight facing A or C before you start the 2nd half circle.

A 10m half circle at B would surely be a demi vault?

So you come back to the track at F/M dependent on what rein you are on, so you in effect change the rein?

What test is it and how is it worded exactly?

Thats what I was wondering, but in most Prelim tests the half-volte starts nearer the quarter marker to give you lots of room for the incline back... and I'm guessing this is a prelim or similar test. So I suspect its half circle one way to X and halt circle the other to E ?

EX: Half circle left 10m diameter. i wasnt putting the half circle in the right spot i was just asking if that was correct, thanks for the help

Yes, that's what I thought it was .... do a half 10m circle from B to X then another half 10m circle from X to E.

[MeMe]

As in Prelim 4? Where you do the 2 yes?

Some walk and trot tests have the demi vault from B/E to the quarter marker aswell.

im actually in a different country from you so tests are different, it just says 1 half circle.

[cvb]

sure izzy - but what happens AFTER the one half circle ? just type in what it says and let us see what we can do to help !

[izzy2512]

EX: half circle left 10m diameter
X: down centre line
G: halt-salute

[izzy2512]

ok sorry about the dodgy drawing but is this correct? except i have to go further up and then halt at g

No I think you've gotten lost because you normally halt at X.

What's your instruction before E-X ? are you coming from C\H? This simply means that you turn onto the centre line and then ride down it to G

EX: half circle left 10m diameter
X: down centre line
G: halt-salute

Remember that an arena is 20m wide so any 10m circle touches the centre line. Half a 10m circle will either bring you into the centre line from the perimeter or back onto the outside from the centre line. Half 10m circle simply means that you make a nicely formed arc (correct bend) when going to and from the outside track to the centre line.

I'm thinking this right? Except for the fact I can't draw very well so I'm not quite circling to x (although I'm sure its a fairly accurate representation of what I'd actually do if I tried it:) )

Izzy - as you will see from the pictures posted - you've been making it to complicated !! ;)

You literally need to follow the instructions as written i.e. you go from E to X with a left handed half-circle. If you did nothing else, you would be left, halted at X, facing C. (If you did a FULL circle you would end up back at E - but thats not what the instruction says !!)

So the next instruction is "X down centre line" - so do that ;) down the centre line towards C. Then when you get to G, halt, salute.

Putting it basically if you are coming from H then do the 10m half circle left from E to X and then up centreline to halt at G you are doing a back to front J shape.
