USDF Introductory Test B

I was having fun with my vector drawing program and I built a map of the other dressage test. Intro Test B. This one is surprisingly complicated compared to the other one.

2003 USDF Introductory Test B
1. A - Enter working trot rising
X - Halt through the medium walk, salute, proceed working trot rising
2. C - Track left working trot rising.
3. E - Circle left 20 meters working trot rising, then straight ahead.
4. F-X-H - Change rein working trot rising
5. Between C and M - Medium Walk
6. M-X-F Free walk, F - Medium Walk
7. A - Working trot rising
8. E - Circle right 20 meters, then straight ahead
9. M-X-K - Change rein working trot rising
10. A - Down Centerline, X Halt through medium walk, salute.

If anyone actually uses these and wants a more polished one (you know where the circles are the same size and the tracks are always the same distance from the edge of the arena and the curves actually flow into lines) I can do that. Since its vector drawing there are algorithms to do these things. I haven't really worked on figuring them all out but it would be good motivation for it.

I had a reasonably productive day yesterday which I will write about soon.
