───● Meter System  ●───
Note: The meter system described below is meant for use within the Riding Arena.


Important Basics
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

​
Location of Mid  ━ The exact center of the arena, where the A/C Midline and E/B Midline cross.

The Outside Track  ━ Ride along the outer dotted lines of the diagram. These are the very outer dots on the E/B long wall, and one dot row away from the outer A/C short wall dots. 

Picture
Meter Points  ━ There are 4 main dots that extend out from mid towards E/B and A/C in each direction that we reference for meter measurements around center. Each dot represents 5 meters in distance: so the first 4 dots around mid would be your 5 meter points, the second 4 are the 10 meter points, third 4 your 15, and fourth 4 your 20 meter points. You can use these points to create circles, cuts, and shapes. These points can be centered around any dot for circle/shape/cut measurement anywhere in the arena. 
Picture
Arena Quadrants  ━ The arena has 8 quadrants total, running lengthwise from A to C. We ride in an even 8 quadrants which is equal to the width of a 20m circle.
