Trail Course of the Month 7/18

This month's course comes from the Region 7 Arabian and Half Arabian Championships in Scottsdale, AZ.  My friend, Patty Romeo, designed this course and I thought it presented a lot of challenges.

Every obstacle required a gait change.  The first obstacle is at a walk, then you lope, and then you stop and open a gate.  Then a serpentine and more lope/overs.  Afterwards a challenging sidepass where a horse has to be careful and wait after all the forward motion obstacles.

This class was won by Marco NA ridden by Kathy Bast.
