In almost any riding class, a good lope or canter departure will lead to a better execution of your maneuver. A good lope departure is when a horse responds to a minimal cue from the rider with willingness and collection. AQHA judge and all-around trainer Leonard Berryhill tells us how to get your horse to do correct lope departures with minimal cues.

However, for many, there is one performance that had such a profound effect on them that they can remember every detail from each step the horse took to how each judge placed them.
