What is "Equitation" judged on?
 |
This is an equitation rider on her 3-gaited horse. In Equitation, it is the rider that is judged rather than the horse. Her 3-gaited horse has his mane shaved off. She is wearing a formal suit, like a tuxedo, with satin lapels and a top hat. She has her hands up, her heels down, her knees bent, and she's sitting up straight! The horse is wearing a double bridle with a snaffle and a curb, and he has his head up with his nose tucked. |
