PATTERNS and PROCEDURES

1.	Procedure for Exhibiting in Longe Line Classes These are video classes. Your video must have been made within the past 12 months. You may work your horse at liberty in a round pen, or on a longe line. The video should be approximately 3 minutes in length. (You don't get extra credit for longer video; our judge has things to do besides judge our show.) Exhibit the horse at the walk, jog (trot) and lope (canter) in both directions. The video should show upward transitions and downward transitions, and stops and turns. The horse's way of going will count the most. He needn't be 'dead broke.' Presentation details will matter where entries are otherwise equal. These are things such as grooming of the horse. For best results, your video should show the horse centered on the screen and filling the screen. The videographer should pan with the movement of the horse, and zoom to keep the horse's body filling the screen. No music, please. If you can, you are encouraged to leave the sound track off or to minimize it. Do not put any titling on your video. If you wish, you may put a discreet copyright notice at the beginning or the end. The Longe Line performance must be one continuous, unedited performance. You may not take the jog from one video and the lope from another and put them together. Some folks who have old computers and who are on dialup may find it necessary to split their Longe Line video into segments for uploading. That is OK, as long as the performance is one continuous performance.
2.	Showing in Walk Trot Western Pleasure and Hunter Under Saddle with video These are video classes. Your video must have been made within the past 12 months. The video should be approximately 3-5 minutes in length. (You don't get extra credit for longer video; our judge has things to do besides judge our show.) Exhibit the horse at the walk, jog (trot) in both directions. The video should show upward transitions and downward transitions, and stops and turns. The horse's way of going will count the most. He needn't be 'dead broke.' Presentation details will matter where entries are otherwise equal. These are things such as grooming of the horse. For best results, your video should show the horse centered on the screen and filling the screen. The videographer should pan with the movement of the horse, and zoom to keep the horse's body filling the screen. No music, please. If you can, you are encouraged to leave the sound track off or to minimize it. Do not put any titling on your video. If you wish, you may put a discreet copyright notice at the beginning or the end. The Walk Trot performance must be one continuous, unedited performance. You may not take the jog from one video and the walk from another and put them together. Some folks who have old computers and who are on dialup may find it necessary to split their performance video into segments for uploading. That is OK, as long as the clips are of one continuous performance.
3.	Walk-Jog Horsemanship and Walk-Trot Equitation Patterns PATTERN SETUP Cones A and B should not be more than 50 feet apart. Cones B and C should not be more than 40 feet apart. The camcorder should be positioned so that it has the view inside all three cones. You may substitute buckets or similar items for cones, as long as they are easily visible on the video. Pause at Cone A. Walk towards Cone B. 2/3 of the distance between A & B, pick up the Jog (Trot) and jog around cone B and towards cone C. At Cone C, stop and back 3-5 steps. Wave or salute to signify completion of pattern, if you wish.
4.	Walk-Jog-Lope Horsemanship and Walk-Trot-Canter Equitation Patterns PATTERN SETUP Cones A and B should not be more than 50 feet apart. Cones B and C should not be more than 40 feet apart. The camcorder should be positioned so that it has the view inside all three cones. You may substitute buckets or similar items for cones, as long as they are easily visible on the video. Pause at Cone A. Walk towards Cone B. 2/3 of the distance between A & B, pick up the Jog (Trot). Jog (Trot) around Cone B and Jog (Trot) towards Cone C. At Cone C, turn left and take the left lead towards Cone B. Lope (Canter) around Cone B and approach Cone A. At Cone A, stop and back 3-5 steps. Wave or salute to signify completion of pattern, if you wish. These are video classes. Your video must have been made within the past 12 months. The video should be approximately 3-5 minutes in length. (You don't get extra credit for longer video; our judge has things to do besides judge our show.) Presentation details will matter where entries are otherwise equal. These are things such as grooming of the horse. For best results, your video should show the horse centered on the screen. The videographer should pan with the movement of the horse, and zoom to keep the horse's body filling the screen. For this class, the markers will need to be visible also when the horse is near them. No music, please. If you can, you are encouraged to leave the sound track off or to minimize it. Do not put any titling on your video. If you wish, you may put a discreet copyright notice at the beginning or the end. The performance must be one continuous, unedited performance. You may not take the jog from one video and the lope from another and put them together. Some folks who have old computers and who are on dialup may find it necessary to split their performance video into segments for uploading. That is OK, as long as the clips are of one continuous performance.
5.	Lead Line Horsemanship and Lead Line Equitation Equitation riders must wear helmets and Western riders are encouraged to wear helmets. It is traditional for Western riders to wear Western hats, but we do encourage the use of equestrian safety helmets for children. However, this is at the discretion of the parents. The child may be riding within a round pen or on a longe line or both. Safety first! The child may not be riding in the open without a longe line on the horse. An assistant may walk beside the child for safety, but if possible, should not obscure the view of the child and horse. The video should be about 3 minutes in length, but not longer. Show the child riding in a counter-clockwise circle. Have the child stop the horse 3 different times, pause, and then walk forward again. A saddle that fits both horse and rider suitably is important. The rider should be correctly attired for their discipline. Face it, cuteness is probably a bonus. Most importantly, this should be fun for the little guys.
6.	Lead Pony (Photo Classes) Western and Hunt Seat These are photo classes and the primary intention is for them to be fun for the kids and their parents. Equestrian Safety helmets are required for Hunt Seat riders and are greatly encouraged for Western riders.
