The Western Riding Log with Kellie Hinely


by Kelsey Hellman

Many beautiful western riding runs have been ruined by that pesky solitary log that appears in each of the four different AQHA approved patterns.

When most of the rider’s focus is keeping their lines true, and getting solid lead changes, taking the strides to and over the single log can throw off the entire run when the rider and horse are not full prepared. Just like getting down the timing of lead changes preparing for the log takes ample amounts of practice and patience.
