a) Spurring in front of cinch;
b) Use of free hand to instil fear;

96.6 Starting or performing circles or eights out of lead will be
judged as follows:
a) Each time a horse is out of lead, a judge is required to
deduct one (1) point. The penalty for being out of lead is
accumulative and the judge will deduct one (1) penalty
point for each quarter of the circumference of a circle or
any part thereof that a horse is out of lead. A judge is
required to penalise a horse one-half point for a delayed
change of lead by one stride.
b) Deduct half (1/2) point for starting circle at a jog or
exiting rollbacks at a jog up to two (2) strides. Jogging
beyond two (2) strides, but less than half (1/2) circle or
half (1/2) the length of the arena, deduct two (2) points.
c) Deduct half (1/2) point for over or under spinning up to
one eighth (1/8) of a turn; deduct one (1) point for over
or under spinning from one-eighth to one quarter (1/8 to
1/4) turn.

to remain a minimum of six (6) metres from the wall or
fence when approaching a stop and/or rollback.
96.8 Where a change of lead is specified immediately prior to a
run to the end of the arena, failure to change leads will be
penalised as follows: failure to change leads by one (1)
stride – half (1/2) point; failure to change leads beyond one
(1) stride, but where lead change is completed prior to next
manoeuvre - one (1) point; lead is not changed prior to the
next manoeuvre - two (2) points; in patterns requiring a runaround, failure to be on the correct lead when rounding the
end of the arena will be penalised one (1) point. Failure to
be on the correct lead prior to the centre point of the arena
will be a two (2) point penalty.
96.9 A judge may require any contestant to repeat his
performance of any or all of the various parts of the pattern.
