What should a showman do when the judge is evaluating their animal?

When the judge is evaluating the animal, the showman should stand still and allow the judge to assess the animal. This approach demonstrates respect for the judge's process and allows them to get a clear view of the animal without any distractions. Standing still provides the judge with the opportunity to evaluate the animal's conformation, structure, and overall appearance thoroughly. It also helps to create a calm and controlled environment, which is essential for both the showman and the animal during the evaluation process.

The other options would interfere with the judge's ability to conduct a fair assessment or may create distractions that could detract from the evaluation experience. For instance, moving around the animal might prevent the judge from getting a good view, while engaging in conversation could interrupt the judge's focus. Adjusting the animal's position quickly may also be perceived as a lack of confidence in the animal's placement, which can be detrimental in a competitive showmanship setting.
