Arena Geometry (incomplete -- be patient!)
It's important to understand how to accurately ride ring figures in order
to get good scores in competition. But it's even more important to ride
figures accurately in order to get the most correct work from the horse.
A horse who is allowed to drift from the track -- whether that track is
straight or curved -- will find ways to "cheat" and not use himself as
symmetrically and athletically as he could.
The arenas
- Dressage arena diagrams -- Diagrams of both the large (20m x 60m) and small (20m x 40m) dressage
arenas, with letters and dimensions.
- Dressage arena "map" -- A diagram including the centerline, quarterlines, midline, and
diagonals.
- Circle points -- No one said this was going to be easy.
