The purpose of this race is to show the versatility, attitude and movements of a workhorse.
The class must show the horse's ability to work at a speed of work while remaining under the knight's control. A slight contact with the horse has to be rewarded, therefore very long reins are not required. Of primary importance are the modes, the reactivity of the horse while performing the required maneuvers.
Each horse will work independently, performing all the maneuvers, the score ranges from 0 to 100 points with 70 indicating an average performance.
The required maneuvers include: pitch, trot and gallop in both directions, trot and gallop extended by at least one hand, stop changes of direction and back.
Optional manoeuvres may include: side pass, 360° or more revolutions, gallop changes (simple or on the fly), pitch, trot or gallop over barriers, and any combination of manoeuvres that it is reasonable for a workhorse to perform.
The maneuvers can be designed in various combinations with the final approval of the judge.
There is no time limit.
