LTP Barrel Racing! It'll run a lot like Standard Barrel Racing, where you need 3 pictures - 2 gallops(one in each direction) and a turn.
Each pose can be worth up to +2 or -2 depending on how good or bad it is.
The judge will use the forum dice to determine each pony's base time, and then again if they knock down the barrel or not - A roll of 6 is a knocked over barrel and +2 to the time. A roll of 1 is a bumped barrel and a +1 to the time.
In the end the lowest time wins.
In the event of a tie look first at the picture score, higher number places lower. If those are tied too look at barrels, higher number places lower again. If that is tied, these two horses run dice again - but only against each other. Their scores do not affect their placements against the others.
Barrel are represented by a six sided dice roll - a 6 is a knocked over barrel(+2 to time), a 5 is a bumped barrel(+1 to time), the others are good.
And the base times you get with the dice rolls(random number generator) 19-27.
The poses!
Gallop in
This pose is showing the horse going quickly racing in. It is right facing and legs can be either fully extended or tucked under. Eyes should be focused in the direction of movement, ears should be aligned, expression calm, and the body should be straight.
Examples:
Gallop out
Same as Gallop in, but going left. A galloping picture. The pony's legs can be fully extended or tucked. The pony should have a calm expression, aligned ears, straight body, and eyes focused in the direction of movement.
Examples:
Examples of BAD gallops
These two are not straight, look at the neck on the black one and the head of the orange one. They're also not looking in the direction they are going.
These three are not gallops and the first 2 have focus on the camera instead of the direction of movement.
The alignment of the head on this one is what's wrong with it, the ears are the give away.
When judging the gallops order of importance
Is it an actual gallop?

Expression
Turn
The turn for LTPs are a bit different than the standard horses because they don't really cross their legs. However the idea is the same, the pony should be turning around a barrel. The expression should be calm and they can be either looking right or left. The turn should be right facing. The turn should be towards the camera. The front hooves should overlap.
Examples:
Ideal here, overlapping hooves, no bulging neck, nice expression
the hooves don't overlap
The expression is wrong, one is worried and two is angry three is also worried and the hooves don't touch
These are not quite aligned right, their necks bulge out a bit more than they should. They have that very sharp V between their neck and leg.
Frightened wide eyes
Turning the wrong way, going away from the camera.
