Judges McLain Ward and Chrystine Jones Tauber have set a course that will require some very precise riding, with sparse and airy fences being the trend. 

Riders start at the far end of the ring, coming down the long side toward the in-gate over a line of vertical to oxer in a forward five strides. They then turn up the middle of the ring over a double of verticals set a snug two strides apart. 

A left turn to an oxer-vertical tight three-stride line along the far long side comes next, followed by a bending six-stride line to the left over a square oxer. They then turn out of the corner to a narrow wingless triple bar of white rails. They then follow a bending line of six forward or seven tight strides to the right over a fence that might spook a few horses—a vertical made to look like the rail of a racetrack, with just one white rail and white upright supports. A bending ling of four or five strides follows to a Swedish oxer. 

Then then turn around the end of the ring and out of the corner to an S-curve line down the middle of the ring over an airy vertical with no ground line, four bending left strides to an oxer-oxer one-stride in the center of the ring, and four bending right strides to another no-groundline vertical. They finish by turning out of the short side of the ring to the ASPCA wall, which is set as an oxer.
