Canter on incorrect lead to the end of the straightaway. Drop to a trot. Return to line on correct diagonal.

9. Trot a diagonal line to the center point of the straightaway. Continue trotting and perform a circle to the left. As you come out of the circle, change to the left diagonal and trot on a diagonal line to the end of the arena. Stop. Turn left. Canter on a diagonal line on the right lead to the center point of the opposite straightaway. Stop. Turn left. Trot on a diagonal line to the end of the arena on either diagonal.

10. Execute a three loop serpentine at the canter, demonstrating two simple changes of lead, beginning on the left lead. Stop. Trot a circle on the correct diagonal. Halt. Turn and trot a line down the center of the serpentine. Change diagonal every four strides, beginning on the incorrect diagonal. Halt.

Trot to the opposite end of the ring from the gate.  Starting from the center of the ring as if performing a figure 8 trot a circle to the left.  Halt.  Pivot 90 degrees.  Trot a circle to the left.  Halt.  Pivot 90 degrees.  Trot a circle.  Halt.  Pivot 90 degrees.  Halt.  Pivot 90 degrees to face the center of the turn.  Trot back down the rail from which you came and return to the line up.

Tests that must be performed by equitation riders. All circles and turns must be performed on correct leads.

1. Address reins—the process of laying down reins and picking up reins (only asked in line up).

How To (from Helen Crabtree's Book): "It should go without saying that all reins should be held flat, not twisted.  You will find that the snaffle reins are buckled together and the curb is sewn together.  The difference in the attachment of the reins makes for easier identification when they are sorted, so this difference should be noted.  To lay the reins on the horse's withers, first make certain that the horse is well parked out (he will stand quieter).  Now, with very relaxed grip, slide the hands back to the ends of the reins (being towards you) to a height just clearing the pommel of the saddle (the U-shaped thing). As the ends of the reins approach your hands widen the hands until the reins are taut and making a straight line across the withers. Carefully place the reins on the withers and release.  The snaffle rein should be laying directly on top or behind the curb (withers – curb – snaffle – saddle).  If it does not come out of your hands this way, place the reins in this position with the right hand.  To pick up, first grasp the two reins at the center points (buckle and stitching) with the first two fingers of the right hand and lift them about two inches above the withers. Beginning with your left pinky, place each succeeding finger around the reins in this order- snaffle, curb, curb, snaffle.  The thumb goes under the four reins to complete the grip. With this proper assortment of the reins, draw the right hand back and slide the left forward to a few inches longer than the usual riding length of the reins (remember you are in the line up so usually your reins are a little longer).  As you release the bight, release the curb rein first and tighten slightly more on the snaffle before you release it. In this way, you will be avoiding jabbing the horse on the curb and causing him to lower his head out of position. As soon as the bight has been released, grasp the two reins with the right hand as they are released by the left fingers. Keep the hands low at all times and avoid aggravating the horse with fumbling movements.  This act should be done while keeping the proper position (legs correct, back straight, head straight with just eyes looking down).  If you usually ride with a whip practice holding it between where the hand and thumb meet while addressing you reins."

2. Circle at a trot.

3. Performance on the rail at a walk, trot, or canter using the correct leads and diagonals only.

4. Performance around the ring at a walk, trot, or canter using the correct leads and diagonals

only.

5. Feet disengaged from stirrups. Feet engaged. In the line-up only.

6. Change of diagonals on or off the rail.

7. Execute serpentine (4 loops unless otherwise asked) at a trot. A series of left and right half circles off center of imaginary line where correct diagonal must be shown.

Perform one-half of a diamond. Starting at the in gate, drop your irons. Face the midpoint of the west straightaway. Trot on the right diagonal on a straight line to the midpoint. Turn left. Canter a circle. Stop. Pick up your irons. Turn and face the midpoint of the south turn. Canter a straight line on the right lead to that point. Turn left. Perform a circle. Trot the first half. Canter the second half. Stop and reverse. Perform another circle. Canter the first half and trot the second half. Trot back to the end gate. (Thank you to Amanda Pranger)
