Findings:- Start far enough away from cone 1, so that by the time you perform your 270, you can complete it on the correct side of the cone.
- Practice your trot to walk, so that you perform this smoothly and seemlessly...you don't want your horse to stop or worse, continue trotting while you are walking to cone 3.
- Back your horse straight and stopping your horse's pivot foot is in line with the judges left shoulder, this puts you dead on with the judge after you perform your 270.
- Your 270...you've just backed and your horse's natural inclination would be to suck back and pivot on the incorrect foot...make sure your horse is pivoting on the correct foot and pull your horse slightly forward if needed.
- Trot straight to judge and stop leaving plenty of room (1 1/2 arms length away) for stopping and setting up.
- Upon dismissal, peform a full 90, look back at judge and walk away.
