Rider has the option to lope through the gate or walk through the gate and, without trotting, pick up the correct lead within the first quarter circle. Continue loping around the circle to the center of
arena. At the center, without stopping or breaking gait, begin pattern. When using a lope to the center pattern, judging of the pattern will begin at the center of arena. Penalties occurring while loping to the center of arena to begin pattern will be assessed. In a pattern requiring a run-around, there will be a ½ point penalty for failure to remain a minimum of 10 feet from either side of the center of the arena; for small arenas it will be at the judge's discretion. - correct answer False When a horse is backing, it is very helpful for the judge to watch and count the steps of the ____ feet to determine if _____ steps were taken. - correct answer front feet, 5 or more steps Back-up: The horse being caused to move in a reverse motion in a straight line for a required distance. The horse shall begin the back-up in a controlled manner and shall continue to back-up without hesitation until directed to stop by the rider. In the instance where a horse backs up where a back-up is not specified in the pattern, the penalty score of 0 will be incurred when the horse backs more than 2 full strides. It is important to note one stride is defined as the complete movement or steps of all 4 legs, one time. In this particular situation it is very helpful for a judge to watch and count the steps of the front feet. Up to and including 4 steps of the front feet in the not required back-up receives no penalty; five steps and beyond constitutes the inclusion of a maneuver not specified and thus a penalty score of 0.

This applies when going from one end of the arena to the other. If the judge awards a new cow, the exhibitor has the option to refuse the new cow by continuing to work. - correct answer True More than two good turns in each direction should result in extra credit in the run content. - correct answer False More than two good turns in each direction should not result in extra credit but also should not be penalized unless the cow is thereby too exhausted to circle correctly. One turn each way may not necessarily result in extra credit if the horse and/or cow are out of control. When a lope-to-center pattern is used, judging of the pattern will begin at the center of the arena - correct answer True If the cow falls down while circling, the judge should award a new cow. - correct answer False 19.3.5.4 Once a rider has committed to circling a cow, if the cow falls down no new cow will be awarded.
