Here is our run during
the first day of
preliminaries. The
course consists of 10
elements each worth 5
points. There are four
judges, allowing for a
total score of 200
points. You take your
first run. Once you
finish, you choose one
thing to work on for
three minutes with Bob,
and then do your run one
more time. You then must
choose which score you
want to keep, the one
from the first or second
run, without knowing
which was better.
The elements:
1. Left canter depart
from halt
2. Simple or flying lead
change in center
3. Lope over pole on
right lead
4. Halt in cones
5. Open and close gate
6. Walk over bridge
7. Trot, jump, trot
8. Side pass right angle
poles
9. Leg yield to the
right at the trot
10. Javelin throw at the
trot or canter
Our first score was 140;
our second score was
150.5!
