Give the basic process for presenting oral reasons in horse evaluation.

What will be an ideal response?


A maximum of 50 points is awarded for oral reasons. Giving oral reasons involves verbally presenting a defense for placing a class a certain way. Oral reasons are scored in five areas_ (1) organization, (2) relevancy, (3) accuracy, (4) terminology, and (5) presentation. Oral reasons typically begin with an opening statement, which involves stating the class name and why the class was placed as it was. Next are comparisons of the horses, starting with the top pair, moving to the middle pair, and then moving to the bottom pair. Grant statements, which specify why one horse ranked over another yet concede superiority to one, are preferred portions of oral reasons because they demonstrate that contestants understand that first-place horses are not superior in every way yet have enough attributes to warrant their top rankings_
