July, 2026 tices easier to internalize and remember. Ranch Riding and Ranch Trail are both


patern classes with 8-12 maneuvers per patern and a lot of variety in the maneuvers and trail obstacles. Roy Rich advises when practicing for these classes, don’t start by doing short maneuvers, do some “laps”. For example, if your patern calls for a half cir- cle at the lope, lope a bunch of circles. For straight lines, ensure you practice a lot of repetition. For spins, do at least two spins, don’t just stop at one. Horses find repetition and they will naturally try to anticipate the next maneuver and also start to shorten maneuvers. If you practice short maneuvers as the paterns calls for, your horse will not have the free, relaxed stride that you want. Throw in a gait transition here and there while doing your laps and practicing square corners, circles and different lines called for in the paterns. This gets your horse quiet and ready to go show. Be sure to prac- tice and check all pieces of the patern and make sure that you can do them in the days leading up to the show. In order to avoid his horses geting dull on the logs, Roy practices over the logs in the days leading up to the
