I was at the equine extravaganza this weekend and during a breed demo, they had 2 padded TWH. One named "silversmith" was a grey wearing very large pads. and the other was "Sunfire Phoenix" a smaller black twh wearing small pads.
I wasnt sure what the names for the division each horse would show in was called.
Do horses with small pads show in Park Pleasure and the horses with larger pads show in a diff. class?

Here are the classes you can show in:
~* Country Pleasure ~* Trail Pleasure ~* Lite-Shod Pleasure ~* Plantation/Park Pleasure ~* Show Pleasure ~* Performance
Lite shod ~ no pads
Plantation/Park ~ small pads or wedges
Performance ~ big pads, "big lick"
Tennessee Walking Horses are traditionally shown based on shoeing, height, and sometimes gender. So, yes, horses with bigger pads are shown in different classes than those with small or no pads.
~* Hope this helps. *~ ;D

no plantation and park there are no pads but heave shoes with bands showed with no action devices...no flat shod class is showed with a action device...its the rule and same with tail braces
there is a new class thats just been added like last year called "limited performance" and it is allowed a shoe thats 1.5 inches wide and 1/4 inches thick with either A pad or wedge no more and is shown in 6 ounce chains or less and with a tail brace.
the size of the package all depends on the horse but they can be too big. the toe of the actual hoof cant be any shorter than the heal of the pad and the heal of the hoof cant be any shorter than the toe of the pad. but still it all depends on the horse of the size of the package, size of chain, the kind of shoe nailed on the bottom of the pad and the size of lead weights.
show pleasure is a class with the horses on pads and shown with chains but no tail braces..you really cant tell a difference in the horses gaits.

Up here we have light pads or wedges with a band on the shoe for park and pleasure. Michigan sucks for TWH showing though, so it's no the same as down South.
