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.

All Patty's courses were challenging but fair and we appreciated her flexibility when some competitors asked for minor changes. I believe she has a real gift for course design. Marco and I like difficult courses and she certainly delivered.
