Pattern 10, Advanced Novice

Findings:
  1. Walk from cone 1 to cone 2, begin your trot AT cone 2, not before or after.
  2. Make sure you have plenty of trot because your horse will be on the inside turn around cone 3.
  3. Look in plenty of time as your round cone 4 so that you are straight coming to the judge. You also don't want to fish tail as I watched a lot of exhibitors do.
  4. Stop square with enough room to perform your 270 upon dismissal.
  5. TIP: Stop with your horse's hip even with cone 3 so that upon completion of your 270, you back straight to cone 3.
  6. Trot straight away and continue to trot until you meet the ring steward.

This is a slightly modified version of Michele Tucker's pattern.
