TDS Pole Bending System
Pole bending is timed event that features a horse and one mounted rider,
running a weaving or serpentine path around six poles arranged in a line.
Good horsemanship is the foundation for success in pole bending and barrel
racing. The horse and rider team must work as one in order to excel. Various
methods are implemented in pole bending from the “slalom” approach to the
“side pass” approach. Depending on the horse/ rider combination, the rider
needs to experiment to see what method works best for their application.
Each contestant will begin from a running start, and time shall begin and
end as the horse crosses the line.
A horse may start either to the right or to the left of the first pole and
then run the remainder of the pattern accordingly.
A contestant may touch a pole with his or her hand in pole bending.
(( Based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_bending ))
Wrong / missed passages or knocked over poles incur a 5 second penalty.
