Discussion # 142: A rather random Dressage thought for the day on riding precise circles!
A rather random Dressage thought for the day on riding precise circles... Remember the old game "Operation"?? Where you had to use something similar to a tweezers to do surgery and remove "organs" from your patient? And you had to be very focused on the shape of your borders of the hole on all sides, because if you touched one side - BEEP, the alarm would go off, and his nose would light up! Riders who are sometimes challenged with the shape of their circles should try thinking about that game when they are doing their circles. Each circle should have 4 equal quadrants. And if you move to the outside on one quadrant, BEEP, an alarm should go off in your head! Kind of silly and random, I know! But it may click with someone, and help them to pay more attention to the precision of their circles! What do you think? Might this visual help you to think about and be more aware of any tendency to bulge out on parts of your circle? (Click on Discussion Title above (in blue) to read this educational discussion)
