Pattern 23, Intermediate



Findings:

  • Start with being in line to the judge at cone 1.
  • Trot off briskly (remember also that you are running on the outside of the turn, so you might have to step it up a notch so your horse doesn't walk around cone 2) and stop with enough room at cone 3 so that you may perform your 180 w/o having to go around the cone.
  • Finish your 180 trot to cone 4, have a nice, crisp stop.
  • Back smoothly and without pivoting until you are straight with the judge.
  • Walk 1/2 way, perform a 360, looking up and at the judge towards the end of your spin.
  • Walk briskly to the judge and set up for inspection.
