Hands: A rider’s hands should keep a light but certain contact with the mouth of the horse. Reins should be on a straight line from the horse’s mouth to the rider’s elbow.

Wrong lead: In a canter, the horse leading with the wrong leg is “on the wrong lead”. Moving clockwise a horse should be leading with his right front leg. Mov- ing counterclockwise, he should lead with the left.

Legs: Heels should be down. No excessive weight should be carried on the stirrup irons. Legs should be quiet under the rider at all times.

Diagonals: This fault may appear while a rider is posting (rising and sinking back in the saddle in rhythm with the horse’s trot) at the trot. The rider’s movement in posting should be impelled by the forward movement of the horse’s inside rear leg; that is, the rear leg that is closest to the center of the ring.

Friday night’s “Walkaround” attracts thousands to campus for Homecoming.

Ask any Oklahoma State University graduate what OSU’s greatest tradition is, and you’ll hear one word - Homecoming.

The OSU Alumni Association has presented Homecoming at OSU since 1920 growing it from a small-town carnival to a nine-day, award-winning celebration. It is widely known as “America’s Greatest Homecoming Celebration” with its signa- ture event, Walkaround, which regularly draws more than 80,000 spectators to view elaborate Greek house decorations, parade floats and residence halls bathed in orange.

OSU’s Homecoming is entirely run by students - more than 250 on committees within the Alumni Association and thousands more in Greek, residential and campus life. Cowboys love our Homecoming tradition and are actively contributing to an endowment to secure its future existence and growth on our campus.

Homecoming is a driving force in the Stillwater community. In 2013, the Harvest Carnival event contributed 18,500 pounds of canned food donations to the local Harvest II food drive. Homecoming also highlights other OSU sports at Homecoming & Hoops where fans can preview the upcoming season’s squads for Cowboy and Cowgirl basketball in addition to enjoying a pep rally for Saturday’s football game.

From the Edmon Low Library’s orange fountain to Hester Street painted for coaches and players to view during “The Walk,” OSU and its alumni are proud to claim “America’s Greatest Homecoming Celebration.” Homecoming 2017: ‘Herald Your Fame’ is October 6-14 and will conclude with the Baylor vs. OSU football game on Saturday, October 14.
