That's why we're selling him. Someone else can deal with his "problem".

yeah....
well you have to think about country pleasure fora bit...
country pleasure and show pleasure are the most FILLED classes and the most competative..so keep that in mind when buying a country pleasure horse...

that would get pretty annoying, but better than my last show where every time we reversed Angel would run down the side bucking or rearing. i tried so hard to be ready for it, but it just couldnt be planned for, she can be one strong horse. *sigh* between her cow-like moments and her crazy race horse momentss....well lets just say its good she has those perfect show horse moments too or mayb we wouldnt be as good of friends.

I'm new here, just wanted to reply to an old post on this topic... It's very untrue right now that you want a horse that trots UNDER level for Country Pleasure. The latest trend has been taking three gaited horses, growing a mane back on and pulling the pads from their shoes...and into CP they go! Some of these horses look like they could still be winning in the trimmed classes, so it has definately "upped" the already-high standard the country pleasure division was getting. (Before the three gaited horses, it was show pleasure ones moving down...etc, etc) A headset will definately attract a lot of attention in CP, but at the same time, a horse with a ton of motion but a dumped over headset may still beat it. It completely depends on the judge and the competition. I always go for the headset first, personally.

^ ur right about country pleasure, we were just saying traditionally thats the way the horse should trot, not to say that the judge will pay attention to this and not pick the most attractive looking horse, but thats just part of horseshows

in my opinion..country pleasure wether if it is western country pleasure or saddleseat the horse should NOT look anything like the trimmed horses. the horse shouldnt be picking its feet up even leval, the horse shouldnt be high strung like the trimmed horses, the horse shouldnt have a head set anything like a trimmed horse.
the horse should have motion that makes his job look easy thats below leval and have a descent show horse head set but i dont think it should be flexing at the poll and have its neck so high up like the trimmed horses. it is called PLEASURE for a reason...its suppose to be pleasurey and not PUMPED like the trimmed horse classes. but if the horse has a perfect head set and no action then of course it needs to be a country pleasure horse.
Even tho a "country pleasure" horse might pick its feet up above leval and have an awesome head set it still shouldnt be in country pleasure!!! even if the horse might not be able to carry the weight of a horse thats on pads, its not against the rules to show a horse in show pleasure or park without pads on is it now?
yes walk trot/trimmed horses are my favorite and i can NOT wait till i get one of my own but a country pleasure horse shouldnt be a trimmed horse with a mane. at least i dont think so!

^agreed
also some people before were saying how young horses can be crazy like that and that you hope she straightens up so i think that you were answering back to my post on here about Angel, but she isnt young, just a dork, shes about 12 and has just always acted like that altho she is mellowing out as she gets a bit older, the horse that i own is young but she hasnt shown or anything yet

well lots of horses are silly when they are young..
this one saddlebred that i broke for this girl was crazy..she would always rear and never stop and i just got someone to go behind her with a whip with her wearing blinders and evertime she rears smack her on the butt and that kinda worked..then i tried someone with a lung line and everytime she doing it jerk her down...that definately worked!! but now this horse is DEAD broke after all of my breaking in!!! and she is a NICE horse!

wait wait wait whose young horse are we talking about? lol im just confused about where that came from, but anyway saddlebredchick, so that rearing thing worked? we have a horse at our barn that always rears and we havent been able to curb it at all, its a shame too b/c he was the champion 3 yr old fine harness horse or something to that effect, but in reality he's really lazy and sees acting up as his way out of work. thats something to consider doing tho...not sure if it would work with him tho.
