Who is ready for the 🀝TAG TEAM PATTERN🀝 jackpot class this weekend?! Think of it as showing off the ultimate pattern horses! One horse and one rider will maneuver half the pattern, switch riders in the pen (yes, we will have a step for you), and then the second rider will complete the pattern.

Our intention is to promote the versatility of the Quarter Horse, quality forward movement, and trainability, and we want to have fun while doing it! This pattern combines maneuvers from all pattern classes (walk, trot, lope, extended gaits, sidepass, back, lead change, turns, etc). Regardless of background (ranch, western, english, etc.), we are looking for a well broke horse. (Bridles are optional πŸ˜‰)

This class will take place Saturday night after the reining (estimated 6:30 PM). The entry fee is $45/team, with $30 going back into the pot.
