This is a better example…
Put the horse’s shoulders along a straight line painted in a field. Ask for the haunches to be right with a 35 degree bend.
Looking at the horse from above, is he in travers right or renvers right?

Travers right.

Travers is haunches-in, renvers is haunches-out. So, on the centerline, shoulder-in left is haunches on the centreline, shoulders to the left, bent left. Travers or haunches-in left would be shoulders on the centreline, bent to the left with the haunches left of centreline. Renvers or haunches-out left would be haunches on the centreline, bent to the right with shoulders on the left of centreline. There’s a picture upthread that describes this better.

I disagree - renvers left would have left bend - renvers TRACKING left would have right bend (also known as renvers right) Your second to last sentence is incorrect you are describing renver right.

Which just proves that there is no such thing as a “simple” renvers question . . .

Well, that was more involved than I expected. Thanks everyone!

The bend would be to the right, and the quarters would have to be placed on the centre line for the movement to be renvers. If the bend is to the right but the shoulders are placed on the centre line then the movement would be travers.

That made it clear for me, thanks! Too bad I’m not the OP, lol.
