As a mounted shooter I know that you are constently looking for ways to improve and become better.  Most competitive people are.  Hopefully this drill from World Chamption Kenda Lenseigne will help you on the pasth to greatness.  It was published in Western Shooting Horse Magazine in 2013 (this magazine has since changed it's name to Western Horse and Gun).  
This is a drill that I come back to time and time again.  It's simple and has lots of great elements for both you and your horse.  Hopefully you find it helpful.  If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment below.

How far apart are singles from gates about and how wide apartment are gates at top and bottom.

Hi Janet! My arena is pretty long, about 220 feet, so I have the singles about 35-40 feet from the gate cones. However, you can do it however you want, or whatever works for your space. Sometimes I'll put the the whole pattern closer together to work on more percision. Then other times I'll space it way out and work on adding some speed. It's up to you, what you need to work on, and what's best for your horse. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for asking.
