Re: [RC] gaits & trots - champagne class - Truman PrevattI've seen a few of these - except they call them water glass classes down South. They use water since it would not be legal to use moonshine :-) . Most of them used the red plastic cups that are pretty stiff. At one at a TWH show they used flimsy Dixie cups. Not only did the rider have to make sure the cup didn't move, but they had to hold it very lightly else it would collapse. There were several horses that started but most of them were out fairly quickly because the riders held the cups with too much force and they collasped.There two riders left. They were in there for 10 minites - both still with full cups. The announcer wanting to get one with the show, asked them to canter. They did this for a few minutes. Both riders still had all their water. This class went on for about 30 minutes. They finally settled it by setting up a tight course the riders had to navigate. After about 5 minutes of that the water in one glass was about 1/4 inch lower than the other so they declared the winner so they could get on with the rest of the show. Now I sure put either of those two walking horses and their riders up against all comers - an put a little cash on the side. From what I have seen at all breed shows with the cups they use these two would still be out there the next day.
