ANEQ 352 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Limbs Of The Horse, Crazy Eights, Pigeon Toe
Document Summary
One of the most objective events to judge. The scoring system evaluates each horse in an objective manner and assigns each run a score. Reining is judged on the ability of a horse to perform a pattern assigned by the judges prior to the start of the class. Patterns can include 6 maneuvers: spins stops rollbacks circles figure 8"s. There are no more than 8 maneuvers in each run, but can have as little as 6. Rules for judging: general: to rein a horse is not only to guide him but to also control his every movement. The best-reined horse should be willingly guided/controlled with little or no resistance. Any movement on his own is considered lack of control by the rider. All deviations from the pattern are considered a lack of/temporary loss of control and is considered a fault that must be penalized. Authority of preforming maneuvers while using controlled speed (raises difficulty level)
