Cone Confusion...

Poles & Cones in the challenges and partnership test are set up to navigate in different gaits. This give you frame of reference of where to ride, there is some confusion though as to when you use them. The simple explanation is seeing the visual below. We will be running a workshop soon to work through all possible confusions and how the courts work. Watch this blog for the date.

10m circle at Q or H (go through the cones):

20m circle at S or R (on the inside of the cones):

When going large/around the corner (through the cones):

Tip:

Check your test’s court diagrams before to ensure you ride the movements correctly.

Happy Riding!
