Urque - Working Equitation

Hej HG!

Tidligt i morges (d. 8-7-11) drog min mor/kameramand og jeg ud til stalden for at prøve os med noget Working Equitation. Katrine, som vi købte Urque af, har ofte snakket om, at vi burde prøve WE med Urque, fordi han har talent for det. WE består af fire dicipliner: Dressage, maneability, speed test og cow cutting. Det vi forsøger os med på videoen er maneability (ease of handling).

Diciplinerne beskrives som her:

Dressage
The horses enter a 40 x 20 metre rectangle, to the sound of music and perform obligatory movements for around 7 minutes, to be assessed by a Jury of between three to five Judges.

Ease of Handling
Is a gymkhana type event in which horses must counter obstacles similar to those likely to appear in the field (e.g. crossing bridges, passing through doorways, etc). The manner in which the obstacle is transposed – depending on agility, submission, working attitude, and ease of movement and of handling – is scored by the Jury.

Speed Test
This involves obstacles from the preceding trial but with the objective of transposing the obstacles as fast as possible, without picking up penalty faults.

Dette er første gang vi prøver os med det - så det er måske lidt optimistisk at kalde det WE som det ser ud lige nu, men det er en start :)
