Current Wording – CD960.2.9
Speeds at ADS Recognized Marathon Competitions:
Small Ponies – Training Level Walk – 5 KPH
Small Ponies – Preliminary Level Walk – 5 KPH
Small Ponies – Intermediate/ADS Advanced Level Walk – 5.5 KPH
Suggested Wording
Small Ponies – Training level Walk – 4 KPH
Small Ponies – Preliminary Level Walk – 4.5 KPH
Small Ponies – Intermediate/ADS Advanced Level Walk – 5 KPH
Reason for change
To create consistency throughout the small pony marathon speeds at each level. Trot sections (A,B) for Small Ponies are currently 1 kph slower than Ponies in allowance of size/stride at each level (Training through Intermediate/ADS Advanced). The walk requires the same consideration. Dare I note that legs don’t telescope to a longer length for the walk.
