Yes, sure the groom can lean for safety - shouldn't need to very much - but mustn't jump or slide the vehicle.
This is what the rule says:
2.4.14 Grooms and passengers are not allowed to give assistance, including verbal or physical directions; sliding, lifting or moving the vehicle in any way during precision and paces or cones. Contravening this will incur 20 penalties for their competitor for each incident. |

Our pony (12.2hh) cannot do 220 metres per minute at a balanced trot. We have to extend round or do a small amount of canter. |

Hi - no! Basically a good cones round should be a balanced trot so there fore no need to balance.... Hope this helps.. |

Could someone please clarify ~ when a cones course is being driven, are backsteppers allowed to lean to keep the vehicle balanced? Not talking about physically moving the vehicle, but leaning to ensure it stays on 4 wheels! |
