Working Equitation combines dressage, with obstacles that may appear working around a farm or out on a trail, and finally a speed phase to be taken at the riders pace. It can be done in any tack Western or English.
The partnership will first complete a dressage test with levels for basic right up to higher levels. The next phase will be ease of handling. This phase tests the obedience and partnership of the horse rider as they complete obstacles. There are twenty different obstacles a course designer can choose from. The horse rider will complete this at their pace. Some of the obstacles include ringing a bell, crossing a bridge, lifting a pitcher, and riding with the garocha pole. Each of the obstacles incorporates style and enhances the horse’s ability to perform dressage.
A musical ride is an equine performance full of manoeuvres, choreographed to music, designed to create a flowing pattern. As the tempo of the music quickens or diminishes, so does the speed of the ride to complement it, not unlike figure skating. It might be done at the trot or lope, or a mixture of both, depending on the pattern and the music chosen.
Manoeuvres, to name a few, include: the pinwheel, thread the needle, suicide cross, posse roll, charro ladder, chevron, oblique and inverted oblique. While there’s no set number of riders on a team, the ride works best with a number that’s divisible by four. it’s a great way tomake memories with your horse friends and your horse.
