My daughters so sweet.

WHere can I find this song?

LOL, i go to that school well i used to lol,,

Bravo!!

I love how this horse looks so natural at the lope! I have been judging W.R. and this is definitely my ideal ride, so now I judge based on this horse! He seemed to always have his ears back but that was one minor detail of his ride! thanks so much for posting!:)

Ze gallopeerd sloom

Holy shit. This was impressive!

bravissima

Ecco, finalmente, una rappresentazione di simbiosi e di vera amicizia! Splendido cavallo ed ottima cavallerizza! Il rispetto e l'amore per l'animale! Benedetti!

poor chap horses ! It's torture. I Would prohibit it

if im really asking my horse to gallop, not canter. all i have to do is get in a semi two point position and give her her head.

Is that you?

Great Looking!! :D

This is so good you can't know only by looking - at least not when you're not used to western style. How do you ask a horse for gallop when riding western?

Wow! Ive always wanted to try western :L But our riding teacher can't ride western.

Yes, its the stupid Western Pleasure lope. I freaking hate it. It makes the horse look broken and lame. And its unnatural too. And this is coming from a Western rider. I have seen some good WP horses out there that had a nice lively but not rushed lope. It was actually a mule :) It wasn't broken like this but it wasn't fast either.

I'm not a fan of how she is basically "humping" the saddle when her horse is loping.

this pair looks half dead. where is the joy....

i'm so confused. where the hell is the competition? it's not timed, obviously, so it can't be a race...

is the horse ok ?

Wow ik ben gek van western! Maar ik rij het zelf niet!

this it amazing, i've always loved the western side of america, i love rodeos and stuff and being a ranch girl, but i live in sweden, so one day im gonna move to america and follow my dreams.

Not to mention, if this horse hated what it was doing it wouldn't be doing such a nice job at it.

@EPRFowler My guess is that this horse probably has a pretty cushy life. I don't see a horse that is "sad and depressed", I see one that is free and easy-moving, and is FOCUSING on what it's doing.

THIS is what a Western Pleasure horse should look like. True gaits. Not too slow, perfect speed. No stupid limping movements. I love it.

Wow thats amazing, and beautiful *.*

Wauw! i'm surpriced! Amazing!

*.*

Very good riding:) I am considering and go from english to western riding because I think it looks more artistic look with western ....

No offence like but that horse looks sooo sad and depressed!! I don't see how anybody could look at that horse and find it "inspiring"! I feel sorry for horses that are trained like this they have no life!!!!

FINALLY! I finally found a WP video where the horse does not look dead lame at the lope! You made my day and your horse is fabulous =D

His legs are like sticks he dose not look that good he would never beat a pleasure horse. But he has rock soiled led changes..... ;)

Wow! Can I use the Clip in my Videos, Please? :)

Aww, I am going to watch this any time I am feeling down about my horses progress... it is SOOO inspiring!

Oooo, I love this horse's movement! I normally hate how Western Pleasure horses move (I think this is WP) but this one is amazing!

cool c'est tropb

Respect!!

@livelaughlove79318 ok so will it b fine if the pole will b there the whole time, with like post trotting and 2 pointing at the trot and stuff? also do u know how to make homemade jumps? i need them to kinda b like cavalettis just not too high

@HorsieRider125 yeah im sure it will be fine lol, she will probably just lope over it like its nothing...I would suggest possibly cantering her over the pole though, just because you want to do it in english tack, because if you ever want to jump with her you want her to be used to cantering over poles. and if you dont feel comfortable getting on right away and doing it, tack her up and before you get on just lunge her over the pole a few times in each direction to get her used to it(:

@livelaughlove79318 haha! aww! I wish that prima knew how to jump.. hey also is it ok/safe to have her lope over a ground pole, w/ english tack? yea garrod farms has really nice weather and scenery. I go to a lot of barns and there is none quite like garrod! there is so much wildlife and super nice trails. i LOVE garrod hehe

@HorsieRider125 hahaha nice. lol, yeah my parents wernt thrilled when they found me laying in the arena with no helmet lol. and yeah I leased a horse like that a while ago..she failed at jumpers. her gallop like matched another horses trot lol. and btw in some of your vids the background of the mountains is like gorgeous!

@livelaughlove79318 wow haha i have never ridden without a helmet, my parents won't let me. I have been working on her in-hand gallop and turns, but she is trained in western pleasure so it is pretty much both. She is prob the laziest horse ever so it is super difficult to get her in-hand gallop!

@HorsieRider125 yeahh, I used to think just hacking would be fine without a helmet..the first freaking time I rode without a helmet at the TROT..my horse spooked at pigeons and I fell..next think I remember is being at the hospital..I got a concussion..I mean it was the first time I wasnt wearing a helmet lols. and thanks for all the advise(: do you barrel race? I was looking at your vids and they all looked like western pleasure.

@livelaughlove79318 yea i understand haha! ok so first u can tell by just seein how hard the top of the foot part iz (lol i dunno if that makes sense) and if the heels is supa big or supa small it is prob not a western boot. or u can go online and see the measurements and looks of real riding boots if u r not sure. yea thats fine! although traditional western wear doesn't have helmets but i wouldn't not wear a helmet

@HorsieRider125 So a GPA helmet would be ok? Im kinda tight on cash so I dont want to go buy another 500 dollar helmet lol. and jeans look better with western, I have a pair of western boots..but idk if they are for riding or not, how can I tell? I think your comment got cut off or something..not sure though. and thanks for all the advise(:

@livelaughlove79318 ur welcome! ok so u breeches work fine but jeans r the traditional wear. pretty much all english wear works just as well but it depends on how u want to look. I usually wear jeans, western boots and an english helmet, since it is a jumping helmet and therefore gives me better protection, b/c of the horse I ride. So there r trail riding helmets that would look and fit in better than my jumping one with a western outfit. But, again if u wore all english wear riding western,

@HorsieRider125 haha thanks(: I will def. look into to wintec saddles I have a wintec dressage and I really like it. Second, I have a TB/hanovarian cross that could not do barrels to save his life, so im going to be using my new trainer horse who already has a western bridle. am i supposed to where jeans and like cowgirl boots to my lesson? or breeches, paddock boots, and chaps? and what about helmets? I dont wan't to look like an idiot trying to fit at a new barn..lol. thanks(:

@livelaughlove79318 yea defiantly! Ok so first u need a western saddle pad, and a western saddle (der) So i have looked online for western saddles and there r sum pretty good deals! beware: western saddles r usually WAY heavier than english ones! if u r concerned about the weight u might try the wintec saddle, aka synthetic saddle. those go for like 500, not bad! Also wat breed do u have?? Also u need to buy a new bridle a western one. if u go to most saddle shops they will help u in that.

@HorsieRider125 I agree the lead changes are like crazy good lol..do you ride western?? because I ride english and I dont know anything about western. but Im going to start taking western lessons just for fun you know? but I need some advise on like what to buy and stuff. so if you know you think you can help me out?

lead changes= unbelievable
