• WESTERN PLEASURE DUOS with Twine
  Partner up with another rider and you will be given a 1m length of twine which you will need to hold between each other as you compete in a Western Pleasure class.
  Nicole Pinches will be calling out and judging the four gaits (walk, jog, lope, back) as seen in a classic western pleasure class and as appropriate for the age groups.  Partners must keep hold of their twine and change gaits as a duo.  Winner is the last duo in the ring still holding their twine. Partners that lose their twine must immediately exit the arena at the closest gate (there are 3) or move into the center of the ring to get out of the way, whichever is most efficient and less disruptive to the rest of the competitors.
