───● Gaps & Alignment ●───
Screen delay causes you to look one horse ahead (on your screen) of where you are to other riders. These are adaptations for that!
Gaps
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
NTT ━ Nose to Tail: your horses mouth should be over the tail-bow of the horse in front of you.
OT ━ Overlap Tail: your front hooves should be moving inside the back hooves of the horse in front of you.
HI ━ Halfway Inside: the front of your saddle should be touching the back of the saddle in front of you.
Half-Horse Gaps (HH) ━ Ride with half a horse lengths distance between you and the rider in front of you.
One-Horse Gaps (OH) ━ Ride with a whole horse length distance between you and the rider in front of you.
Alignment
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
Comb Alignment ━ Ride one horse-length ahead of your line lead.
Rein Alignment ━ While in rein ride one horse-length ahead of your partner.
Waterfall Alignment ━ While in a reign (or after a waterfall), ride front hooves aligned with your partner across from you. For larger horses or more loose gaps, ride with your front hooves in the boot of your partner.
Slant Alignment ━ After a slant set, ensure your front hooves and back hooves align with the horse in front of you (side by side).
