This is what I did at my lesson last night. It's a dressage test. The chart below represents the riding arena which is marked on all sides with large letters (as shown). I had the test memorized by the end of the lesson, Katie was calling out the instructions to me at first. I think I got through it once without screwing up completely.



Begin trot at E (yellow dot), turn at K/A down center line. Turn at C/M across to E. Begin canter between K and A, canter 20 meter circle. Continue canter to B then transition back to trot. Turn at C/H across to B, pick up canter between F and A, canter 20 meter circle and continue to E and transition back to trot. At C transition down to free walk (free walk = loose rein, use legs not hands), turn at M and continue free walk to E then take up reins, continue walk to K, transition up to trot as you turn between K and A and down center line. Halt at X.
