This discipline started in the U.S.A. is the “ultimate” western-style discipline. It is always performed on a patterned course and contestants are required to alternate compulsory figures: big circles (fast galloping), little circles (slow galloping), leg changes, roll-backs (180°), spins (360°hind leg) and sliding stops. The horse is judged on its precision, obedience, control and attitude with which it performs the different required manoeuvres.
