Keyhole
In and Out ... don't step over the line
The Pattern
Go through the timing line, run into the circle of the keyhole, turn in either direction,
and return through the timing line. All four of the horse's feet must enter the
circle. Special penalty: The rider will be disqualified if the horse's hoof touches
the ground on or outside of any portion of the Keyhole (circle or wings). Note:
A penalty judge shall be stationed near the Keyhole and will determine (by viewing
hoof prints) the qualification of the ride. Such decision is final. One or more
assistants will be stationed near the Keyhole with rakes and will rake the disturbed
area near the Keyhole as needed.
