In Hand Showing Information

---

Horses must be shown on a triangle at the walk,  trot and standing for conformation. 

There are two options for this class.  Scroll down for an video on how to perform this test.   Make sure to review you video to make sure your horse can be clearly seen.  The judge can not score things they can not see.   

Option 1:

The handler will lead the horse to the apex of the triangle. Halt for 3 seconds the proceed at walk on the triangle.   Once they have walked once around the perimeter of the triangle they will proceed to trot.  Once they have completed one round of the perimeter they will halt at the apex for conformation judging.   At this point the person videoing will walk towards the horse.  Once they are near enough that that whole horse is in the full frame of the camera they will slowly make a full circle of the horse to that the judge can judge the conformation. Once the person videoing has made a complete circle of the horse they must stand for 3 seconds and then the video may be stopped. 

Option 2: 

The handler stands at the apex of the triangle and show the horse slowly by turning the horse to show front, back and both sides.  Remembering to stand still at each presentation so that the judge has a good amount of time to evaluate the horse.  Following this you then  you  walk  once around the perimeter of the triangle.  Then proceed in  trot  once round.  Once   completed one round of the perimeter they will halt at the apex. 

Braiding is optional but bridles are mandatory on all horses age two or older.

Videos will not be judged if any of the following occur:

If the horse is wearing boots or bandages.

If at ANY point the horse  is not completely shown in the frame of the video the horse will be eliminated.  

If the horse stops or changes gait on the triangle with exception of the transition from walk to trot and then trot to walk to halt  the horse will be eliminated.  

The video must be of a high enough quality that the judge can clearly see the horse and its conformation at all times.  

Do not video from the other end of the arena or from behind a fence.
