Pattern 15, Advanced

Findings:
  • Start your pattern by being straight with the judge (if you don't start straight, the entire pattern will be off!).
  • Back smoothly and straight.
  • Perform your 630 push turn (that's 1 3/4 turn by the way), don't over spin!
  • Perform your 90 pull turn, look up and at the judge approximately 2 steps before you finish your turn so you know when to stop (this is an error that happened lots!)
  • Walk to judge briskly and remember to smile.
  • Stop at 1 1/2 arms length away.
  • Upon dismissal perform a smooth 90, again look up at the end so you don't over or under spin.
  • Trot straight away, stopping with your horse's nose at cone 2.
  • Look back for acknowledgement.
