What type of horse do you show?

EmazingCasper · 08-24-2007, 05:51 AM

Currently Im riding my beautiful and talent quarter horse Blaze. He is an awesome all around horse, been on the AQHA show cirrcut in both disaplines. Pleasure, Equi, and all that jazz (english & western.) And I'm currently showing in both as well. We also do halter, and showmanship classes! I pretty much have a show every weekend.

P.s. There is a ton of Quarter's or at least from what I've been in the hunt seat classes.

I ride my QH dressage, and he'll jump once he's old enough. He's 16.2+ hands and racing bred, though.

My last QH gelding was Impressive and Jaguar breeding, about 15.2 hands, and was a great jumper and HUS horse.

I've done one big show! By big I mean very, very small at a local Ag. Fair...but I did have to travel 7 hours to get there!

I showed my Clydesdale in Hunter In-hand, and we will be showing in baby-green hunter under-saddle/hunter over fences next season. Probably at a trot though, since I don't think her stride length will ever get short enough at the canter!

(we're working on it)

I showed my pinto mutt in stock-halter, and he lost very, very badly. WEll behaved little guy, but definitely NOT a halter horse...and at 2 years old, definitely COULD NOT compete with 3 and 4 year old purebreds! His gaits are still developing, some days he looks like a hunter prospect, other days he's all WP. We'll see! He'd make a cute hunter pony, or a cute WP horse.

My new Arabian will be shown in 2-year old Arab halter as well as sporthorse in-hand. If he grows into his gaits the way he's going...he'll be a GREAT multi-discipline sport horse. Can't WAIT!

My Clydesdale's unborn foal should also be a sporthorse extraordinaire...sired by one of Art Deco's finer boned sons and combined with my athletic Clydie...can't wait to see that!

I ride and Arabian, a TB and a pony that has no known breeding!

they are all jumpers and each compete in different types of disciplines after jumping..

This is my AQHA/APHA grey gelding named Jet. He is 16.2hh and huge. He is all around horse.. I show him state level paint and AQHA shows...
He has the longest trot in the barn and the slowest lope in western......

My friend has a 'cow bred' QH that she jumps. His parents, siblings, and offspring are all awesome cow horses from what I hear, He just didn't have the heart for it. He was origionally trained for that. I've only seen him english, but he definately loves jumping and is pretty good at it too!
