Sometimes with the elementary tests and especially 3-day events, you may ride your test in a 20m x 40m arena (short court) instead of the standard 20m x 60m (large court or full-size court). When you ride a test, it’s super important that you ride each movement and figure accurately (you will make the judge very happy!). In this video, I’m riding inside a short court and talking about how to ride your tests accurately in a smaller court. The Dressage judges are super picky about the geometry in a test, as riding accurate geometry is what shows that your horse is on the aids. But riding accurate geometry can be tricky, especially in a short court. As the coach of several eventing students, I commonly see eventers struggle with: ·       Circles – Depending on whether you are riding your circle at one of the ends (A or C) or if you’re riding a circle in the middle of the arena (B or E) your geometry will change slightly in the different courts. I commonly see riders make big oval shapes for their circles, especially if they are in a short court, so it’s super helpful if you can look at your test before the show, study the geometry, know what touch points you’ll need for your circles, and practice riding them accurately. ·       Using the Corners – Corners are a big part of the geometry in your test because they set you up for the next movement. One common mistake that I see riders make in their tests is that they cut their corners and allow their horse to counter-bend and fall inward. Make sure you ride into the corner with bend and look up and ahead to plan for your next movement. Imagine that there is a jump on the line ahead of you and you have to ride a good turn to line up with it! The biggest things that will help you to ride an accurate test are firstly, studying the geometry in your test and knowing your touch points for each figure, and secondly, looking up to where you are riding. Watch the video where I explain more about the correct touch points for your circles and corners. I also have a drone filming from above (as well as my regular camera) so you can get a better idea of the correct geometry. I hope that these tips help give you an idea of how you can ride your tests a bit more accurately so that you can boost your eventing scores!
