Halter Showmanship
Showmanship @ Halter?
Is showmanship at halter fun? what exactly do you do? do you choose your own patter or do the judges? how do you train for it? and what do you wear? thanks
IT IS SUPER FUN!!!!!! i love it! its all about how you look & how well you can get your horse to do the pattern!
skill required: set, trot, halt, walk, back, and pivot
you practice on responsiveness, and getting Your Horse to do everything w/ invisible cues. you practice everyday on getting your horse to do transitions halt-trot-walk-trot-halt-back-pivot. work on trotting in perfect circles, backing straight lines, trotting & walking in straight lines. teach your horse to pivot by pressing into his point of shoulder. you need to keep shoulders back, arms at 90*, smile on the face (it actually counts in this class), and learn the "box" (when to move for inspection). the show grounds/judge posts a pattern before the start of the class, and you need to memorise it and preform it as best/correctly as you can. you wear show clothes.

EDIT- funny story, a girl in showmanship finals at the AQHYA World Show fell flat on her face during the pattern! don't do that! also wear make up (i.e. mascara, blush, eye liner/shadow, LIPSTICK) hair up in bun, and fake nails at breed level shows
