Hi all, I’ve been doing some intro level practice dressage tests with my coach. I don’t have any problem remembering the letters in the arena or what a 20 metre circle should (!) look like any more, but am still struggling to remember where to to go/which letters to use to help me with “half” circles and three loop serpentines.
Does anyone have any personal tips or useful links which could help me visualise it better for when I’m riding? I’d like to be able to physically walk these things out on foot to get them firmly ingrained in my head so I don’t worry about them and end up messing things up and losing confidence/getting frustrated when I’m actually on a horse. I would ideally like a bird’s eye view using a small dressage arena - most of what I have found so far uses the larger arena which is too confusing for me at this stage!
Many thanks in advance.
