@TwoChestnutGeldings Sorry for the delay in response, this was filmed at the 2006 US Arabian & Half Arabian National Championships. We have so much more contact here on our YouTube page, and even more on our network Total Horse Channel. Check it out.

The Arabian industry offers Walk/Trot for the 10 & under. How old are you what breed of horse are you showing and what discipline?

[mgnonsense123]

woot woot!

[GoldEyedNickCLover]

wow, i've shown in many shows but i've never shown this class before, what are they judged on? animation?

[Love2RideArabs]

@GoldEyedNickCLover 90% the class I believe 10% costume- They look for the higher headset and high animation in motion at the canter and gallop :)

I show in native costume and it is one of the funest classes to show in.

These riders lean back as to take the weight off of the horses front, so that maintain motion. Like a saddle seat rider would.

[lovewins07]

Ah, ok. Thanks

[cutelittleblond6]

They lean back so that there is little weight as possible on the horse front end so that the horse can lift it's shoulders and legs up more. It also helps keep them in the saddle.

I was wondering about that! So that is intentional behind the vertical. I tend to do that myself at times but since my horse is not forward, it's not good and shuts our momentum down.

[lovewins07]

awesome costumes and horses! but why do the riders lean so far back??!!

[ArabianHeart1217]
