Type of Lessons
Western Pleasure One
of the most popular AQHA show events is western pleasure. Contestants
compete simultaneously, traveling the perimeter of the arena, and
at the discretion of the Judge, are asked to walk, jog, lope and reverse
the direction of the horse. Horses are evaluated on quality of movement
while staying quiet and calm, traveling on a loose rein.
Trail
The trail class tests the maneuverability of an American Quarter Horse
through an obstacle course. Mandatory obstacles include one in which
the rider will open, pass through and close a gate. Scoring is based
on the horse's willingness, ease and grace in negotiating the course.
The other two mandatory obstacles are riding over at least four logs
or poles and one backing obstacle.
Reining
Judges the horse on movements, mastery of prescribed maneuver and
attitude as he is guided through one of 11 AQHA patterns. The horse
is required to perform a number of stops, spins, rollbacks, lead changes
and circles at a lope. The horse should be willing to be guided with
little or no resistance.
Ranch or Cow Sorting Ranch
sorting is the fastest growing sport for families. It is a western-style
equestrian sport that evolved from the common ranch work of separating
cattle into pens for branding, doctoring or transport. Ranch Sorting
is an event that pits a team of two riders horseback against the clock.
Teamwork is the key with both riders working in harmony to cut out
the correct cattle and drive them to the pen while keeping the wrong
numbered cattle back. There are several variations of ranch sorting
with one, two or three riders on the team, but all require sorting
the cattle from in the correct order.
