In all the tests I have seen...my rule book is down at the barn in the horse trailer, so I can't check... none of the movements start until you reach the first letter, so the poles are out of the way. You can do a double deviation, a long diagonal, and even a 10 m circle in the corner using the 40 x 100. I hope the drawing will show up in the post. If it doesn't I'll e-mail it to anyone that would like to see it. This is ADS Intermediate Test 2 (I don't have the advanced tests done yet). It shows a 40 x 100 m arena. If you were to put the poles in you would see that they don't interfere with any of the movements. It's the same for the FEI advanced tests. The only thing you can't do is have the letters up for both the lower levels and advanced. I put them in for the lowers and assume the advanced drivers know where they are. If you use your dressage court more for advanced drivers I'd do the reverse. I use my Training & Preliminary dressage test drawings to set cones courses in the dressage field that won't interfere with the lower level tests. At one of the events that ADS President Jody Cutler puts on the cones are preset in the dressage court. You do your dressage test, salute the judge & go directly to the start position for your cones course. It works great and saves a lot of work the morning of the event. Once you get past Prelim it's hard to have a cones course preset in the dressage court because there are so many more movements.
