stockdogranch Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 What are the standard dimensions of the pen at a trial? I looked at the HA website, but couldn't find it; all I could find (which I knew) was that the rope is 6', Thanks, A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 8' x 9' is the ISDS standard, but you don't always find that at USBCHA trials. I'd say 8' x 8' is more common. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy The pen dimensions are given in the ISDS rules under penning.It is 8 Ft x 9 Ft with the gate and back being 8 Ft. Jim Murphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockdogranch Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thanks. 8 X 8 is what I have in my pasture, but wasn't sure that was "regulation" or not, A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fosher Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think there's some flexibility in the actual dimensions of the pen. Obviously, it's the same for everyone on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona Howard Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I was told once to practice on an six foot opening. Then when you are faced with an eight foot opening it seems you have all the room in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsnrs Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Good idea Mona. We have a small gate (about 4 or 5 ft). Going to Sue's to practice later this week (missed today cause of the wind). N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
