I have just seen her with Monty Roberts, I don't know what the competition will involve but on the tour she did gate opening, going sideways with a pole on the ground between their front two and back two legs jumping a jump made from 3 pipes going over a seesaw bridge and maybe she carried something like a cup of water as she did it.Bit like handy pony she also went through flags.I would think you might have to mount and dismount with them perfectly still but I am only guessing

If you look on the BHS website it gives more info including rules to the full competition and about the Kelly Marks one

I am going to that competition! Basically

1. Control of paces - canter as slowly and possible then walk as fast as possible for 150m each.

2. Obstacles - 10 different obstacles, including things like
going round an s-bend on the ground, leading through obstacles, bending, cantering between poles, going under low branches, a small jump, mounting from the ground, etc etc. The BHS trec site has details.
