Pattern 11, Novice

Findings:

1. Wait until you get all the way around cone 2 before you begin your trot.
2. As you round cone 3, look up and around so that you can judge how tight or loose to make that turn. Lots of people had a problem with this pattern because the judge was standing further away than expected, so lots of crooked trots to him/her.
3. Make sure you stop an arm and a half's length away, you will have to perform your 270 after your inspection, so leave yourself enough room.
4. Do not over or under turn and trot straight away.
