Pattern 33, Intermediate

Findings:
  • Trot from cone 1 and at least 5 steps (your body) PAST cone 2, to clear it for the 270...depending on the length of your horse you may increase or decrease this by a step.
  • Peform a 270 and back your horse straight to cone 3 and then around cone 3, making sure that your horse's pivot foot is in line with the judges left shoulder. Also make sure that your horse is BACKING AROUND cone 3 and not pivoting.
  • Perform your 180 (make sure to pull your horse slightly forward so that he/she pivots on the correct foot), walk to judge giving yourself 1 1/2 arms length away and set up for inspection.
  • Since this does not have directions AFTER dimissal ALWAYS keep yourself between your horse and the Judge and perform a 90, a courtesy look and walk away.
