20 meter circles and circles

tangent points on the wall (fluer de lis) are where the arrows are on the diagram.  
• 20m circles are good for young horses because they are bent laterally and develop correct muscles… as long as you change the rein frequently to give the horse a break.
20meter circles are also good for a horse that is not relaxed and rushes.. goes too fast
• walk, trot, canter, counter canter 20 metre circles



• 10 meters is half of 20 metre circle
• don't ride you horse smaller so that you do not teach your horse to evade by swinging the hindquarters out or bending the neck too far in
• turn your shoulders back more to do a 10 m circle
