Under Saddle is the preliminary class for English riding
disciplines and judges evaluate the way of going of a
hunter type horse on the flat, at a walk, trot and
canter. Exhibitors in this event must wear traditional
English attire consisting of a hunt coat, jodhpurs, high
English boots and hunting cap. Horses circle the
perimeter of an arena, performing each gait called, at
the judges discretion. Particular emphasis is paid to
the smoothness of gait, free flowing stride and a
willingness to perform. The horse should move out with a
rhythmic ground covering stride, on a relaxed rein and
in a level frame. Class procedure is much the same as
western pleasure |
