When I'm deciding where a driving horse would show better. I work him in a round pen and take still pictures.I have nothing on the horse. I want to see how he moves. That way it is a lot easier on the horse because he is already doing this naturally.Then all I have to do is refine it.I think we try to make horses do what they can not do because of conformation.,This is my western pleasure horse.I'm glad that they have added this class to the shows.We were told to shorten his overcheck and get his head up for country pleasure.We tried it and he was unconforable with it that way so we didn't do it.I'm sure he will show a lot better in western pleasure. This horse carries his head like this because of the way his neck comes off of his shoulders. Tiny Acres Alero also does roadster
This is my country pleasure horse. See how he carries his head higher it is because his neck comes out of his sholders higher. He also has more knee and hock actionthen the western pleasure horse.Tiny Acres Kona Gold. also does roadster
This is my pleasure driving horse.He has a higher head set. He also bend more at the knee and he picks up his feet higher.I have been driving this horse less then a month and this is the way he travels.I did not put things on his legs. This is all naturel.Westwind BTU Crown Prince Get R Dun
