Pattern 2, Moderate Difficulty

Directions:

1. Walk from cone 1 to cone 2.
2. Stop at 2, perform a 180 turn.
3. Trot a serpentine to cone 4, stop.
4. Perform a 180 turn.
5. Back 6 steps, set up for inspection.

My Findings:

1. Make sure you are far enough away when you begin at cone 1 for the 180 at cone 2.
2. Be sure to start looking around cone 2 immediately as cone 3 can sneak up on those that aren't looking.
3. Keep a nice pace to make the inside turn around cone 3 (you will be the one doing most of the running here)
4. Make a sharp turn around cone 4, so that your horse's pivot foot is in line with the judge's right shoulder. You do this so that after you perform your 180, your tail will be centered on the judge.
5. Back a STRAIGHT line and use the sixth step to begin your setup for quickness.
