Findings:- Start with a brisk trot, you will need this because as you begin turning horse to trot to cone 3, they will automatically want to slow down and possibly walk.
- Slow to a walk, making it a smooth transition, do not stop, practice until it becomes automatic for both you and your horse.
- Walk a tight circle around the cone, making sure you are looking up and for the judge for your trot off approach.
- Make sure you stop your horse in front of the judge, at 1 1/2 arms length away, back straight and walk back, again stopping 1 1/2 arms length away.
- Upon dismissal make sure your horse is paying attention to you so you don't catch your horse sleeping and off guard for your 270...spin, a quick glance at the judge and trot straight away.
