Narrative:
During the landing portion of a downwind landing requirement for a glider check ride, we touched down and the left wing dropped and turned us towards a fence. The glider didn't stop in time and we impacted the fence. Contributing factors were a slight tailwind which increased ground roll and the tall grass which turned the glider towards the fence.
