However, I actually saw this growing up in the hunter/jumper world too. Lots of little kids (and adults too) on horses they couldn't control. Horse would disappear, come back 20-30 minutes later and be totally asleep and sedated for the next class.

He had a hard time walking in a straight line, poor boy, haha!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940605561665600285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639697700009231176.post-57537847190168410232013-08-26T12:24:14.448-07:002013-08-26T12:24:14.448-07:00I mean, I'm not a hater of the low headsets as...I mean, I'm not a hater of the low headsets as long as the horse does it naturally and happily. Sometimes it can be pretty, I'm just not a fan of the super low, drugged looking appearance. <br />Thank you!! :) Kalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011912207459834938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639697700009231176.post-29517740734824397272013-08-26T10:49:05.682-07:002013-08-26T10:49:05.682-07:00I worked in the AQHA industry (on the show managem...I worked in the AQHA industry (on the show management side) for a few years. Like all things, there are horses and trainers riding and training the way I prefer, there are also those who do things differently. <br /><br />Western Pleasure is a style of riding where correct frame is part of the judging... which includes a lower head-set. Not saying its right or wrong, just saying that it's part of the gig. <br /><br />P.S. Red looks very happy in last few photos -- you've done an amazing job with him!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09697362741342101748noreply@blogger.com
