I chose this 2011 course from the Region 2 Arabian Championships for the first "Course of the Month".   It left an impression on me because it was such a forward moving course with a lot of variation.  It started with a couple of jumps followed by  a quick turn.  This course was really like driving a stick shift on a windy road.  A horse has to change gears a lot!    The two gates  were an interesting twist also.

What is a cattle grate? A jump over?

A cattle guard is a type of jump that is a spread type jump in trail classes. It is usually 3 or 4 parallel jump poles. It simulates a cattle guard one might see on a ranch.
