So there was no point of making a scene.<BR/><BR/>I have to admit as I was laying there awake, I was thinking how nice it was to see a mother and daughter getting along so well and having such a good time. I've been in similiar situations where it was nothing but fighting. This was definitely better.<BR/><BR/>grey horse, yes, legs is a very smart horse. I always have to take that in consideration or he'd be running the show. lol<BR/><BR/>As long as the rule book states a ground covering walk, I'll be right there doing just what I am. <BR/><BR/>kwdhorses, as long as I ride horses who can do that slow lope and keep it a true three beat gait instead of that funky four beat thing I see most of the time, I will work on it. <BR/><BR/>But if they get it to the point the horses look off balance and uncomfortable to watch like those western pleasure horses in the AQHA and pinto shows, I'll no longer be interested. There's nothing pretty about those horses throwing their heads around to balance themselves going that slow. <BR/><BR/>It's really helpful for my horses to be able to lope so slow when showing in trail classes too.<BR/><BR/>callie, just as long as I'm not boring you half to death, I guess it's good.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-47400624252665278792008-06-03T08:31:00.000-07:002008-06-03T08:31:00.000-07:00I'm learning so much about Western Pleasure classe...I'm learning so much about Western Pleasure classes.

Looking forward to the next post as always.<BR/>I agree I am not much with the Western Pleasure lopes, me and my mare tried it once when they had a open horse show at our church. I couldn't get her to that slow lope that all of the others had. Don't get me wrong she has a solid lope, but not turtle speed! I decided that it wasn't for me! <BR/>I really enjoy learning about your Arabians and the things you all do on them.<BR/>Have a great day!kdwhorseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927961715923751666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-44528158700546448522008-06-03T06:18:00.000-07:002008-06-03T06:18:00.000-07:00Legs is a smart horse to anticipate what comes nex...Legs is a smart horse to anticipate what comes next in the show ring after only doing it once, you've got to give him credit for that, right. I'm thinking even though it's nice to get a ribbon, you're doing a much more important job teaching him along the way what behavior is wanted at shows.And I'm also guessing that sooner than later he will be right where he needs to be, he's gorgeous and talented and smart.I like a horse who thinks for himself.(Although sometimes to much thinking gets them in trouble).It's good to hear you did a proper walk, I don't know where they come up with 'new rules' all the time,but the judges should leave it the way it's always been. I'd be a lot less tolerant than you about those gigglers,people can be so rude.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-59033857931903370642008-06-03T04:29:00.000-07:002008-06-03T04:29:00.000-07:00I would have flipped my lid.
