♦ Warm-Up Pen Etiquette

The following rules are to be used when schooling in the show pen – people not following these rules will be removed from the warm-up session and may risk forfeiture of entry in the horse show. There have been a number of instances where riders and horses have been exposed to danger and risk of injury due to careless or unsafe actions in the warm up arena. Be sure to always ride in a safe and courteous manner while sharing the warm up arena with other competitors.

1. Riders should circle in the same direction at each end of the pen. (Follow the circles as laid out in all NRHA patterns, except pattern 3) Top ½ of the pen, circle to the right. Bottom ½ of the pen, circle to the left.

2. DO NOT stop in the center, especially if other riders are circling behind you.

3. Riders warming up by walking or trotting should stay to the rail.

4. When spinning, go to the center of one of the circles; do not spin in the middle.

5. When fencing your horse, remember riders loping circles have the right of way.

6. When riders are fencing, courtesy dictates that riders loping circles maintain their speed and patterns, as the riders fencing will be timing their fencing in tune with your circles.

7. If two riders are circling and approach each other from the opposite directions, STOP and go the same way as outlined above, to avoid accidents.
