When showing your Breyer models or other model horses in halter showmanship classes, you need to include a pattern or a description of the pattern and the movement the horse and handler are executing in the show ring. At live shows, you may wish to have a printout of the pattern or instructions and place it next to your entry. In a photo show, you may be required by the show rules to state the pattern and movement. The following five patterns are typical 4-H or amateur show patterns for stock breeds or Western horses. Use one or more and choose the movement that best matches your model horse breed and pose.
