The workout will be uploaded to the Pony Club WA website for riders to complete from memory. This phase is judged on the athlete’s position and invisible aids, and their ability to effectively present their horse. Attitude, conduct, presentation and showmanship form an important component of the marks given for this phase. Phase 2 – In-Hand Horsemanship (100 marks) This phase is designed to test the practical ability of the Showman athlete and their independence to handle a horse calmly and confidently. The ability to take direction from the judge, to stand the horse up for the judge, to control the horse’s line and speed, and to show the horse effectively will be assessed.
