Pattern 45: Advanced

Findings:
  • Begin at cone 1 with the same distance you'll end up at cone 3
  • Trot a serpentine, you'll probably need to cut close to cone 2 to make the distance to cone 3 (the shorter the distance between the cones, the more difficult this will become)
  • Stop at the nose and perform a 360, do not over or under pivot as your back will be crooked
  • Back until your hip is even with the judge and perform a 270, making sure that your horse is pivoting on the correct foot (you may have to pull your horse slightly forward)
  • Walk to judge, stop with 1 1/2 arms length away and set up for inspection
  • Upon dismissal perform a 90 and walk away
