Prelim 19

[ladyjojo]

Hi, Can anyone help me ?
In prelim 19 at V it says circle left 20m diameter and allow the horse to stretch.
Not sure if I should give the reins away like in free walk or put my hands forward and just give a little, also is it for the whole circle or 1/2 of it?

Thanks

I would imagine it is looking for you to lengthen your rein not give it away.

It won't be for the full circle, the stretch out will be gradual and you will want to have collected the reins up again before you return to the track ready for the next movement.
