INTRO to Horsemanship Patterns

The following suggested horsemanship patterns have been created by the IEA Western Committee for use at IEA competitions during the 2020-2021 season.

Noting that testing can be done in all Horsemanship classes, the IEA Western Committee would particularly like to encourage the use of patterns for Novice-level Horsemanship classes whenever possible to better prepare riders for the transition into Reining at the next (Intermediate) level.

The included Horsemanship patterns range in difficulty from A (easiest) to D (most difficult) as well as rail patterns, but all patterns pull from Western Horsemanship Tests 1-7 (Rule 3404) and can therefore be used for any rider at the Novice level or above.

Patterns can be also be requested from your hired judge(s) as long as they are in accordance with the ability levels and corresponding tests listed in Rules 3401, 3402, and 3404.

Please note that all patterns should be posted at least 30 minutes prior to the start of

the class.

INTRO to Modified Reining Patterns

In an effort to improve reining education, experience, and progression within the draw format, the following Reining patterns have been created by the IEA Western Committee for use as needed at all levels (Open, Intermediate, and Novice) during the 2020-21 season.

Varsity Open riders should be prepared to perform Reining patterns from official NRHA/ AQHA/IHSA patterns in addition to the IEA Modified Reining Patterns.

For Varsity Intermediate and Future Intermediate riders, the Western Committee highly recommends the use of IEA modified patterns within this Addendum. When IEA recommended patterns are not selected, rule 7703 & 7704 must be followed.

JV and Future Novice Prep riders (optional classes) should be prepared to perform NRHA Short Stirrup patterns 14 or 15, Modified Patterns included in this addendum or an equivalent modified pattern.
