Pattern 25, Advanced

Findings

• Start by being ready for the judge, and trot briskly, making sure that your horse is keeping up with you.
• Make both of your arcs equal, making sure that cone 2 is large enough for cone 3, since cone 3 is an inside turn (your horse is on the inside and you are on the outside). You want your arcs large enough to be sure that your horse doesn't walk around cone 3.
• Trot straight to cone 4, stopping with enough distance to make your 450 without hitting the cone.
• Back until your hip is even with the judge (practice this until you have it perfected, this is all about knowing your horse).
• Perform your 90, walk to judge, stopping at 1 1/2 arms length away.
• Upon dismissal, perform a 90 turn and trot straight away.
