This class should show the horse s ability to work at a forward, working speed while under control by the rider. Light contact should be rewarded and horse shall not be shown on a full drape of reins. The over- all manners and responsiveness of the horse while performing the maneuver requirements and the horse s quality of movement are the primary considerations. For rules regarding correct Western appointments, refer to AR Each horse will work individually, performing both required and optional maneuvers, and scored on the basis of 0 to 100, with 70 denoting an average performance. 2. The required maneuvers will include the walk, jog, and lope both directions: and the extended jog and extended lope going at least one direction; as well as stops, and a back. 3.

The overall cadence and performance of the gaits should be free- owing and ground covering for all gaits, with an emphasis on forward movement. Transitions should be performed where designated, with smoothness and responsiveness. 6. No time limit. 7. One of the suggested patterns may be used (found on AHA website), however, a judge may utilize a different pat- tern as long as all required maneuvers and the three (or more) optional maneuvers are included.
