Excellent video!! I love that we were shown three times to see the little adjustments being made for the cleaner run. I really appreciate seeing this from the judge’s perspective and to understand what they’re looking for. Thank you

In Ranch Horse classes, what is the current proper attire for the handler? Also, what if your horse has marks from other horses on their body due to turnout playing around?

It seems like she is holding her horse on a short lead. Is that necessary for the judges?

[@BlackSlytherin]

Helps for better looking, control, and stability.

Why does the handler bend down it just doesn't look good?

[@BlackSlytherin]

She never bent down?
