Have fun!!! When you do your individual trot in front of the judge turn your horse AWAY from you and trot straight back at the judge - they will move honset! Make sure your horse is going forward with an active trot and not dragging you - or worse still you dragging IT!!

Unless I read this wrong... don't turn the horse away from you - never get between the judge and the horse. I've seen people marked down for making that turn wrong.
