29		Elegant pair with potential for higher scores. Video is difficult at times and arena letters are not easily seen. Be sure your circles START at the letter and not 6m beyond so that circles are placed evenly around X. Ride the same degree of bend for the whole circle. Be careful to keep horse between seat and leg aids to assure that horse stays on the line of travel you want.
