[RC] western no-pleasure - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Nicole z_arabs@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== [RC] Posting - Mashallaha Boy, if Arabian shows make you cringe, just go look at the crippled bloodhounds in a stock seat western pleasure class, dragging along with NO impulsion and their noses to their knees.....should be renamed the western no-pleasure-for-horse-or-rider class. Grotesque! ----------------------------------------------------- The Arabian version isn't much better. It involves chins touching their chests (literally in some cases -- it's pretty scary) and pretty much the same shuffling, broken gaits that the stock horse people invented. On the other hand, watching a GOOD English Pleasure or Western Pleasure horse is a beautiful thing. Saddly, they are few and far between at the "Class A" or higher shows. This is not to say they don't exist -- per that post someone else had about saddle seat horses and being trained right -- it's just that the quick train masters outnumber the real trainers who do it right. ~Nicole ============================================================ REAL endurance is taking your non-horsey family to a ridecamp with you! ~ Heidi Sowards ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
