* A note about gaited horses: Gaited horses may ride in any test division appropriate for their rider (Open, Am, Jr), but will be
judged on the Walk/Jog/Lope gaits defined in the test. If the gaited horse cannot “jog”, this may result in a very low score. We would
hope the gaited horses wholeheartedly support the Gaited Test Division, which is designed specifically for the gaited horse.
* Cross Entering Tests and Rider Divisions is allowed if the definitions above apply.
CALLERS The rider is encouraged to memorize their tests. The use of a caller is not mandatory. Cowboy Dressage World allows the rider to
use a caller of their choice, however, the ultimate responsibility for accurate and correct riding of the test falls upon the rider. If the
rider chooses to use a caller, it is the rider’s responsibility to arrange for one. Cowboy Dressage World will not be providing callers
for riders. Page 3 of 10 Far West Cowboy Dressage

A Note About Freestyle: If you are considering showing any of the freestyles please be mindful: The Cowboy Dressage Freestyle is a showcase of accomplishments between horse and rider through the levels. The horse and rider
must be prepared and able to do the Cowboy Dressage maneuvers successfully with grace, finesse, and respect the freestyle deserves.
Partnership, Harmony, and Soft Feel are still a priority when scoring the Freestyle. The Freestyle should be fun and entertaining, while
still a celebration of our finest horsemanship.
Use of whips/crops/spurs – only one whip may be carried during a ride. A crop or standard dressage whip not to exceed 4’ in length
is allowed. Excessive use of the whip or spurs will be penalized.

all dogs from shows. Thank you!
