Pattern 46: Intermediate

Findings:

• Depending on the distance between the cones this could be a really difficult pattern
• Start at cone 1 the same distance you will end at cone 3...you'll need to leave yourself enough room to perform your 180
• Trot from cone 1 to cone 3, you can cut close (and will probably need to) at cone 2 so you can leave yourself enough room at cone 3 for your pivot.
• Stop at the nose, perform your 180, STAYING on the correct side of the cone (my students needed to practice the serpentine several times before hitting the right spot so they were on the correct side of the cone)
• Trot to cone 2, stopping with hip at judge
• Perform your 90, don't over or under spin and walk to judge
• Stopping with 1 1/2 arms length away
• Setup for inspection, upon dismissal back 4, perform a 90 and trot away
