Saddle Up Series
Format
Each clinic consists of two exciting components that test different aspects of your riding abilities. Patterns for both challenges will be sent to all registered participants in advance of each event to allow for practice and preparation.
Technical Challenge
A pattern-based challenge testing precision, control, and technical riding skills. Riders will be scored on accuracy, horse responsiveness, smoothness of transitions, and overall horsemanship.
Speed Event
A timed challenge testing speed and agility while maintaining control. Fastest time wins, with penalties applied for knocked poles, missed markers, or off-pattern riding.
