Equitation?

[katiebaybee]

Is this a right show for my equitation class?

Walk away from the judge, take the right lead in trot, come through the middle, then take the left lead in canter, come through the middle again in trot, then right lead in canter, extend across the straight then come back to the judge and Sault ?

Or is it the longer show?

Walk away from the judge, take the right lead in trot, change the rein through the middle and take the left lead in trot, come through the middle taking the right lead in canter, come through the middle again and change the rein, take the left lead in canter then extend ect?

Sorry am not good explaining things

Could anyone tell me whats right for the equitation?

Personally I don't do extended canter in equitation classes - just walk away, trot a figure of eight and then canter a figure of eight, and then saluting. I prefer shorter shows as there is less opportunity to do things wrong!

I would do an extended canter in an equitation class (but not gallop). Both shows are fine, which one you do should probably depend on whether the ring has a slope - always aim to extend up hill.

If you can, doing a serpenitne looks great in an equitation class, as does something different like walk to canter or rein back. You don't have to be as restricted as you usually would in a ridden showing class.
