This is a simplified version of the Gordyville Shoot Out Pattern.
Findings:
- Trot crisply from cone 1 to cone 2, stop squarely with your hip even to cone 3, so that after you perform your 630 turn you will be able to back straight to cone 3.
- Stop with your tail at cone 3, trot briskly away.
- Look up and around your turn around cone 4, so that you don't over or understeer.
- Stop with enough room in front of the judge to complete your 180.
- Make sure you do not over or underspin as this will make your horse crooked in the setup to the judge.
- Watch the judge carefully during inspection, many exhibitors botched the crossovers because it's backwards than what everyone's use to.
- Trot off nicely, pouring the speed on from cone 4 to cone 3 and stop cleanly at cone 3. Make sure you don't have so much speed your horse starts loping.
Happy Practicing!
