HOW IT WORKS: Riders will be performing obstacles simultaneously in order to keep the event moving.
Riders will carry with them their "Ride Card" which they will hand to the judge at each obstacle. Each obstacle will be judged on a 1-10 scale in three categories: rider skill, horse response, smoothness of performance. Riders are not required to complete all of the obstacles in order to compete.
- RIDER SKILL = horsemanship, balance, technicality of riding skills, communication with horse, coordination and dexterity, and general "at ease" appearance
- HORSES RESPONSE = technical performance skills, responsiveness, calm demeanor, bravery, obedience
- SMOOTHNESS OF PERFORMANCE = quick but un-rushed performance with calm and smooth movements

- Teeter Totter
