REMINDER: WARM UP AREA ETIQUETTE
While the warm up area is also a place to cool down and relax when not
competing, the primary purpose of the warm up area is provide riders a
place to “ride down” and “tune up” their horses before entering the
cutting pen.
We have several members who are new to the Club and to the sport of
cutting and thought a reminder regarding warm up area protocol was in
order:
• If loping your horse stay to the outside of the loping pen circle. If
walking or trotting, stay to the inside of the circle.
• If you want to practice your stops or turns, do so off to the side of
the warm up area out of the way of the main flow of those loping their
horses.
• If you are loping and want to stop, check behind you to ensure
riders have enough time and space to maneuver around you before
applying your “brakes”, otherwise, ride to the side of the warm up pen
and stop.
• Young children who are too young or too small to properly control
their horses are not permitted to ride in the warm up area.
• Riders should avoid riding more than two abreast while in the warm
up pen.
