HANDY MOUNT
Handy Mount rules are not defined by EA
and have been determined by the Event
Committee.

This discipline is designed to test a rider’s
horsemanship skills and the willingness of the
horse or pony to negotiate an obstacle course.

Skills tests may include, among others,
opening a gate, reining back or passing
through coloured obstacles.

It is not a race - the focus is on how the
rider completes the tasks. The judges will be
looking for rhythm, calmness and straightness,
similar to a dressage test with
obstacles.
