aaahhh im going to do working hunter pony for the first time tomorrow and im so scared! hahaha x
what do you do in an individual show??? do you have to do a figure of 8...that sounds confusing haha! or can you just walk, trot, canter, change reign, walk trot canter?? or does it have to be fancy? haa
also...how do you do extended canter? it says you dont have to gallop, just extended canter?
please help me not fail :P xxx
 
Come out of the line when asked, and halt squarely in front of judge

Walk away from the judge

Go into trot and trot a figure of 8

Then Canter figure of 8

Extend/gallop up long side

Back to trot in ride in a straight line towards judge

Walk a few strides before getting to judge

Halt before judge and salute

Then return to the line

I am sure others have other variations, but I find if I stick to figure 8's I don't miss out any rein changes. Also if the ring is sloping, I always make sure I do my gallop uphill.

Good luck and have fun!
