CP (Control of Paces) Phase When it syour turn, you will canter (Class 1 will trot and Class 2 have a choice) as slowly as possible along a measured track and then you walk the same distance in reverse, as fast as possible. The slower you canter (Class 1 will trot and Class 2 have a choice) and the faster you walk, the more points you will get. 3. PTV Obstacle Phase A simple course of at least ten straightforward obstacles, simulated to represent those you might meet out hacking, to test the riding skills, and the training and handiness of your horse or pony.
