The Book of Horse Show Pattern Scoresheets - Digital Version

This book was designed for judges, scribes, and for anyone learning to score pattern classes such as showmanship, hunt seat equitation, western horsemanship, and trail.

These scoresheets are based on the scoring system used by most AQHA, APHA, and stock horse judges, as recommended by the Color Breed Council Judging Academy.

The scoresheets are designed for use with a starting score of 70, with each maneuver scored as follows:

-3 Extremely Poor, -2 Very Poor, -1 Poor, 0 Correct,
+1 Good, +2 Very Good, +3 Excellent

Rider F&E (Form & Effectiveness) is typically scored as follows:

5 Excellent, 4 Very Good, 3 Good, 0-2 Average

Penalties are typically 3, 5, or 10 points. You should refer to the rulebook of your governing association for penalty and disqualification rules.

This is a PDF version of the workbook, which includes both an interactive PDF for digital use as well as printable PDF files for printing pages as needed.
