In horse riding his do you ride 10 and 15 metre circles in a simple way? I haven t been riding too long and my instructor says we will do some of these today but I d like to get an idea of how they look and how to do them, what points of the track/letters are you hitting?

Really, you shouldn't need to know what point of the tracks you come off at and which points you hit. But this will come with practice.
You ride them like you would a 20m circle. You need a more forward motion, get the horse your riding active, because the bend and turn are tighter therefore slightly harder for your horse to perform. Use your inside rein to guide him round, outside leg slightly further back to support his back end and guide it round slightly.
As for where you come off the tracks and where you rejoin, it depends on where you do them. I can only give a rough estimate, since I don't really use markers anymore but if you look at the diagram I've linked up, I'd say leave the track at K, through L, and rejoin at F.
Good luck!
