- How do you show off your horse in the flat class?
There’s more than just your horse’s movement that the judges take into consideration when judging the hunter flat class. It’s important to look at the whole picture and focus on what is in your control.
Before your next show, check off these boxes before entering the flat class:
☑️ My turnout and horse’s turnout is impeccable
☑️ I spotted the judge and am aware of their location
☑️ I observed the ring and have planned my track to stay in the judges line of vision
☑️ I practiced my pace and transitions before entering the ring
☑️ I’m going to enter the ring with confidence

As an ex dressage rider now in the hunters, I adore a horse that is collected/working throughout the body. Too often I see these beautiful warmbloods ridden hollow in the back with zero harmony! Number 724 had my eye the whole time, soft hands, small adjustments! her horse not an inch behind the vertical, just a gorgeous, classic frame. 732 was a little handsy to the trained eye, but again, not behind the vertical, both wonderful with engaged contact and eye catching movements.
love his voice, could literally listen to it all day haha
great tips! love the focus on relaxation
These videos are life savers
Useful, thanks!
wHy do u put the number away from the judge? i don't understand that.
Archie is explaining to turn your number towards the judge, which is slightly to the outside of the ring. This way when you are passing the judge your number is in their line of vision. It's all about being visible for the judge!
@@NOELLE_FLOYD interesting we don't do that in the breed shows. We have magnets and pins on our numbers.
Hi I'm form Switzerland and we don't have any kind of class in english riding, that is similar to this. Could somebody explain what's the idea behind a flat class? Why are they not simply starting in a low level dressage class? Wouldn't they get a more accurate judgement about the pro and cons of their equitation by riding a proper dressage test?
I'm not criticizing anything, just trying to understand it.
Thanks for any answers :)
:) was this a clinic or an official class in the ring?? its soooo different here in Aus!
This was a private clinic!
