The rail work in one direction for each gait is less than a minute.
The judges only request a reverse because it's required to judge in both directions. Someone threw in an extra reverse for grins during a work off--big deal.
I had to redesign my worksheet to speed up my timed entries. A little technical difficulty but I should have that ready to go after the break. I want to break it down to details. The judges are not working each side evenly. Only a token because they are required to do so.
Did not hear or see a halt called for or for any other tests for our "championship" classes yet.
And so why are we having breaks?

Well, they are also very small classes. Gas prices have really set this show back.

If the classes are so small, they should have time for work offs.

If anyone watched La Feria de Las Flores show, the results were done very quickly. Here in the USA the average time so far is 5 minutes.
I also liked how the ribbons were presented to the horses in Colombia. Nice choreography.
I'm losing my connection today, so haven't timed any classes.
The show ended around 7-ish yesterday, so what was the deal with those long breaks between classes? Why didn't the judges take the time to work the horses?
Pasos supposedly have stamina, supposedly can sustain gait. Where is it?

PVTV has messed me up with the voice over. I can't hear the tests called for and the camera has gotten infatuated with one space of the arena, so if I can't see a horse change gaits I have no idea what is happening.
