5. Pony must be atleast 4.
6. No linearts!! You can trace/reference but tracing is discouraged.

8. You don't need to draw in the rider/handler but it counts as 'effort' if you do and will therefore get you less points than someone who DOES draw the rider/handler.

Close contact saddle and any type of english bridle required, any colour. Square or fitted pad in any colour, as well as protective boots. Rider must wear a protective vest, a helmet, and any style of boot. Long sleeved shirt and jacket are recommended as it will be chilly, gloves are optional.

Protective boots are optional. Rider must wear a protective vest, a light colour show shirt, a dark coloured show jacket, tall boots, and a helmet. Gloves are optional.

Pony is juged on his/her conformation. May be asked to walk/trot in-hand. Pony should wear either a plain, english bridle or a halter. Mane may be braided, but it is not required. Handler may wear whatever he or she wishes, however boots and helmet must be worn.

Gymkhana

Obstacle 1: Slalom, five bars, on horse: Lead the horse between the standing white bars (can be done in any pace).
Obstacle 2: Bucket Throw, on horse: You stand on the X (only on map, there is no X in "real life") and try to throw a bag of horse treats into the bucket (the O).
Obstacle 3: Potato-On-A-Spoon, on horse; You get a potato on a spoon and have to ride your horse from the first black line to the next as quickly as possible (can be done in any pace). If you lose the potato you must start over, if you lose it three times you continue.
Obstacle 4: Plank Walk, leading horse: You balance on a steady plank (about 10 cm/4 inches above the ground) while leading the horse.
MAP

The judge (Marie Williams, if you want to draw her somewhere in the image as well) will be standing in the middle of the arena and will help if anything happens.
You will not lose points or be penaltied if you draw your rider losing the potato or falling off the plank etc., it's completely okay!
