Pattern 48 : Breed Show Amateur/Youth

Findings
Don't let this pattern fool you either, straight lines are difficult!
  • START directly in line with the judge, trot quickly and be mindful of your stop at cone 2, a popped hip will spell disaster for your back.
  • Back at least 4 or 5 steps, you want to be sure you're going to clear BOTH cones 1 and cone 2 on your spin
  • Perform your 360, possibly pulling your horse forward. Be sure not to over or under spin
  • Walk briskly to the judge and stop 1 1/2 arms length away
  • Setup for inspection, since no instructions are given, upon dismissal perform a 90 and walk away.
