Horsemanship

Sarah

I Horsemanship er det rytteren som er i fokus. Setet, hender, og ben, kombinert med rette linjer og vinkler ut i fra hvordan mønsteret er tegnet opp. Mange av elementene hermer etter momenter fra pleasure, reining, western riding og trail. Det er alltid en stopp og rygging i mønsteret. Vendinger, volter og spinn kan også legges til mønsteret.

Kroppsnære klær for å fremheve en flott sits er en fordel.

HorsemanshipWestern horsemanship judges on the correctness of the rider's seat, hands and feet, the finesse in riding, and the strength of his or her lines and angles as the competitor rides a series of maneuvers in a 30- to 60-second pattern devised by the judge and posted the day of the event. The pattern may include a variety of different maneuvers, many of which mimic elements of western pleasure, reining, western riding and trail classes, says Holly. For example, "Straight lines — meaning walk trot, jog and lope on a straight line — and a lot of circles, arcs and turnarounds. There's always a stop and a back. Judges can ask for circles, spins, quarter-turns, half-turns, turn-and-a-half, any combination of turning on the haunches or forehand and sidepassing. Extending the gut to a hand gallop or extending the trot is very popular now. You'll commonly see straight-line patterns where the exhibitor is asked to maneuver up and down the arena in a straight line, adding different, difficult maneuvers."
