He expects you to watch the other riders perform the exercise and LEARN from it.

If you make the same mistake a previous rider or riders have made, expect to be called out on it.

If you've failed to watch the previous riders and have to ask for clarification about the exercise, REALLY be prepared to be called out on it.

Do use traditional tack with little or no bling - traditional fillis stirrups, not jointed, not black, a girth without the sheepskin trim, no bridle or spur strap bling.

Make sure everything fits - trim excess stirrup leathers, have everything in snug keepers.

Wear a hair net and do "hunter princess" hair.

Oh, and post back and tell us how it goes!
