About the Event
Riders will ride their test of choice with the judge; there will be a scribe to make notes and it will be scored. The judge will then spend the next 15-20 minutes working with you on areas that could be improved (this is the review part). You then have the option to ride the test again to put her recommendations into action. The second test will also be scored and you will receive back your test(s). You may ride more than one test and bring more than one horse. The same horse may also have more than one rider. There are two large size outdoor sand arenas designated for warm-up, and an arena for lungeing.
