How to ride a 10m loop in trot
On the left rein, ride a 10m loop between H and K. Ride a good corner before H, asking your horse for left bend. Ride a smooth curve to the left from H, riding towards the centre line. About halfway between H and X, straighten your horse for about one horse’s length. A 10m loop hits X momentarily, so as you reach the middle of your arena, ask for right bend, look across to K, and ride towards this marker. Halfway between X and K, straighten your horse for one horse’s length and then smoothly change the bend to the left. As you reach the track at K, maintain the left bend and ride the corner to complete your loop.
