@IMOBentley Thank you (: And you understood me.. YEAH!! ;-))) :D

[horseshowmom31]

Your pattern was GREAT! Fluid and all body cues. Sorry to hear your horse getting sick in the finals. Your horse reminds me of my youth horse and I have spent years trying to find another that I had that kind of relationship with. I appreciate the hard work and dedication it takes to become a top team member with your horse because nobody can train that into a horse. It is reserved for the truly remarkable, and as far as teams go you were. You looked like you were dancing. I love it!!!

[Avonly365]

wowowowowowow that horse is amazing!

[EiffelForParis]

WOW! I've just started training my three-year-old showmanship. We haven't put a chain on yet, but when she's ready we will! I hope she's as good as this horse someday!

[RideTheSky98]

wow can i borrow your horse? lol

[KDOGG331]

WOW! That was awesome, I hope you got first and if not that then at least top 3 cause that was AMAZING! you and your horse are both awesome! :)

[Langbaum1]

u looked awsome!!!!!!!!!

that was a hard looking pattern

luv ur horse!  hes really pretty!!!!!!!

[eccentricnags]

i can do that with my horses, but i dont bump their nose, i just look at them like im going to feed them to my dogs and they dance like a fairy ;)

[TheSonny26]

so awsome your horse is amazing

[aintnocitygirl]

wow this was awesome. :) made me really excited to start halter showmanship with my mare.

[0purple0oranges0]

wow hope you guys got first cuz that was flawless!

[MsILOVEBACON]

amazing to bad your horse got sick you guys are great!!

[0purple0oranges0]

that was amazing :) my horse is still a lil sloppy to get set...hope to god you placed cuz that was pretty much amazing

[TinkiWinkiSugi]

Great!

[HorseFanAusten]

Thank you guys :) My horse is pretty awesome. That was a hard pattern, I remember. It was years ago.... this was at the world championship show and my horse literally got sick in the finals, like literally was lying down, so obviously I left the arena and I ran him straight up to the vet to see what was happening... so of course I didn't place. But the next year I won! :)

[ArabianImages]

@HorseFanAusten I want to get into showmanship and someone told me that i needed to keep my heels touching and toes out. and does your horse have to take the first step at the walk and at the trot??

Thanks

[ShineBells]

HOLY CRAP oh god now im scared for my first showmanship class. . I got a new 8 year old mare quater horse, shes the great granddaughter or something like that of zippo pine bar. So I hope she does good, But were working very hard on this so I can bring home a ribbion

[BrunetteAmbitionxo]

That backup circle was great! How did you place?

[purpleflyingturtles]

Wow, that was good! I am thinking about joining 4h in October, i am 13 and leasing a horse, but what should i expect?

[CathyluvsBuddy]

don't expect to be this good! it takes lots of practice and a really good trainer and lots of money! but practice a lot and you will get there!

[purpleflyingturtles]

thanks, yeah my 4h leader didnt work out so i couldnt lease the horse :(

[CathyluvsBuddy]

oh im sorry to hear that! are you in 4-H still? cause it is amazing!

[purpleflyingturtles]

No :( I am on team in gymnastics so unfortunetly i have no time for horses! but once i get to old for gymnastics im going to move onto horses (: I already have my future horses names picked out (:

[CathyluvsBuddy]

aw that sucks just hope the horse you get doesn't know its name really well or it will be hard for it to get used to being called something different!

[gettingoat]

you are amazing ive watched this like 20 times!!!

[lopingalong6]

Nice work! ur horse looked like it knew the pattern

[einecka]

awesome

[bluehorse09]

Amazing. Good for her =)

[gettingoat]

[rlgraf]

really nice job

[legi10]

It looks really difficult! Really nice done! (:

But I don't have so much knowledge about Halter-Classes...(:

[courtney123ms]

okay you did AWESOME!!! and my horse never could back-up that fast and when i tryed teacher him to prevet on his hind legs it toke him about one year to figure out how to do that. Then my horse doesnt like to trot because welsesh pony and i dont know why he doesnt like to but at shows iv herd hes perfect. lol what place did you come in ?

[emilymalyn]

your horse is GORGEOUS!

is the tail natural?

what place did you get?

Gosh i watch this video alot your good

[areUsmartEnough]

WOW! your horse has a beautiful natural tail!

[Lillysforlife]

did you win?

[HoRsEsPiRiT54]

can anyone give me any really quick advice about halter classes and showmanship? I have a show day after tomorrow and I've only been able to practice once, all advice welcome dos and donts included.

[0purple0oranges0]

how did u place?

[HoRsEsPiRiT54]

Your judged on how well you and your horse perform the pattern, if you brake pattern or not, how well your horse and you work together, and how well your horse squares up and stands while the judge is inspecting you or whatever you want to call it. I might have missed some stuff. Oh and I got 7th place in a class of 40 people.

[0purple0oranges0]

umm i know how the horse is judged i show my own just wanted ta know how it went....congrats on a good placement

[HoRsEsPiRiT54]

Sorry I didn't really know what you ment, and thanks!

[LopemSlownLow41294]

You had a killerrrr pattern. Your back was amazing. Oh and to the chick below me that says you won't place if you don't have a fake tail really should learn something. I know a few people that have placed at congress and world that don't use fake tails because they have such a nice tail. I use them because to me my horse needs one.

[erinandchrome]

IF YOU DONT HAVE A FAKE TAIL , YOU WONT PLACE. EXSPECIALLY AT THE WORLD!! SO YEAH YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE A FAKE TAIL. great video, OH AND IF YOU WANT YOUR HORSE TO SET UP LIKE THAT PRACTICE!!! GO OUT AND PRACTICE THAT FOR 10 MINUTES A DAY !! oh and pretty horse (:

[gymmonkey727]

I hate fake tails they are sooooooo ugly!!!!!!

[AlliWalker]

Not if their put on right.

[gymmonkey727]

Still its my opinion. I don't like fake tails because they look so fake.

[0purple0oranges0]

cuz they r fake lol...its werid when the horse has a fake on and there tail is alreayd pretty full then it looks so over the top i agree

[gymmonkey727]

I know!! They bug the crap outta me! They look like barbies w/ fake tails on! But ohhhh well lol!

[0purple0oranges0]

no i didnt mean ta be rude or anything lol happy ya did good u n your horse looked amazing

[AlliWalker]

I bet there are some horses you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference.

:P

Fakes are great for the tail challenged paint/aqha.

[0purple0oranges0]

i know people who hav placed in worlds and not used a fake tail

[nintendoDSgurl]

awsum job...

i wish my horse can automatically do that .... when i ask him...and set like that ....

[Lillysforlife]

awesome job!

[CrackerOaks]

Dannng chicha, your good :P that horse look like it saw the pattern it self :P

[TricksRforKids]

Awesome vid, you're pattern was near flawless! I see a lot of subtleties that gained you lots of plus's with the judge! How did you do if you don't mind me asking? It looked to be a fairly complex pattern... Only thing I will comment on is that your cross overs looked a little hurried, and when you stopped from the trot, you looked a little too abrupt. Just my opinion of course, I still think you did excellent. :0)

[Rachel7861]

just freakin awesome!!!!

[lookscanthrill]

wow that was amazing!!! great job!!!

[Cowgirl4ever001]

ya like every Quarter Horse has a fake tail cuz the thicker the better =] <3

[AmericanGirl003]

actually most show quarter horses always have fake tails even if they have nice tails it helps gain points in your classes

[shewhoisdork]

Super pattern! It was a pleasure to watch you and your horse work.

Someone commented about Quarter Horses always having fake tails at shows and I have to disagree. Those horses who are properly maintained nutritionally will grow a thick, healthy tail.

((this comment implies nothing on the video owner.))

[JAXONLAXER]

True, i just meant that most of them..

I shouldn't have said always have fake tails.

But you're right,

some have really nice tails.

Just wish mine would grow that type of tail. Lol :)

[HorseObsession23]

I know but it doest really match his tail color

[amberKaharuva]

i'm in my first and only year of 4-H cause i'm a senior in high school and i need to start training for showmanship cause me and my 18h oldenburg have never done it before, but i have no idea how to start! how did you start training for pivot on the hind leg and on the fore leg? i think those seem to be the hardest

[AlliWalker]

I can't really help you online, but there are wonderful and inexpensive books you can get on Amazon that can teach you how to teach your horse.

[UrbanCowgirl93]

Great Pattern!!

When you're walking away from the judge, look back at him. I noticed you did when you were doing your last turn on the haunches, but do it when you're walking away, too.

Also, you're toes should be angled more toward your horses feet.

But that was an incredible pattern, you both looked great, congrats, it was amazing :)

[HorseObsession23]

You can tell that that is a fake tail

[JAXONLAXER]

quarter horses always have fake tails at shows.

[BreyerCT]

Very, very pretty.

[XxSydHayxX]

I'm hoping to go next year... I'll try Congress first though. I've been placing pretty well in Indiana Novice 13&under. So we'll see!

--

The only thing I saw wrong with the pattern though was that his first stop wasn't as clean as the rest. But very nice pattern. You should still have placed!

[dynadoobers]

your horse looks a lot like my mare. :) who is he out of?

[baybeyyy]

What place did you get?

[AQHAdolly57]

Amazing, absolutley amazing!

I train showmanship horses, but I've never seen one quite as good as yours.

You look very profesional and both you and the horse seem to enjoy doing the pattern!

[JAXONLAXER]

That horse anticipates EVERY move.

She is a showmanship MACHINE ,lol

[dynadoobers]

yes many horses know what is next basedon what their handlers body language is, they just know after doing it over and over again what every little detail means. its pretty cool

[MyHorseHead]

WOW!!

[hungryhowdy]

What did she place in this class?

[hungryhowdy]

WHAT A SHOWMANSHIP MACHINE! Man you guys rock! I hope you placed 1st in that class.

[ajaimifer]

awsum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hdsdancer]

how did you place?

GREAT RUN!

[barbaro453]

Oo. I'm in showmanship and I'm really bad at it.

[kjm1017]

join the club lol!

[Horsegirl128]

thx :)

[Horsegirl128]

Hello

[blackpanther052]

KT Tunstall

[Cowgirl4Jesus94]

Great job!!

[horseluver83095]

wow u r rilly good!! i wish my horse would do that!!!

[mustang1492]

beautifull

[ilovemypony872]

wow, what a team! beautiful pattern.

[kleenmarry]

:O

hamma...

[xViciousVixenx]

amazingly done! i wish my horse could do that. maybe sum day,. ha...

[ImaDeeJayShadow]

Beautiful, beautiful pattern. Very well done. Nothing more amazing than a great showmanship pattern. =] Good job. Best of luck to this pair in the future.

[mkc9]

That is amazing!!!!!!!!

[MoonlightsMiss]

it was awesome...the only thing is the horse tried to trot when the were exiting

[horseowner]

Equidoc.......they owned him. They raised Fancy, but he died sadly from colic

[Jekska]

nice backup

[palominoponypal5]

omg shes good the horse stops at her shoulder stays with her and WOW!! good job!!!

[Luckyboymyhorse]

Freaking showmanship QUEEN!

[appyflop]

very nice pattern! gorgeous horse, by the way.

[Kaema86]

Nicely done!

[pink4everxoxo]

wow... great pattern. the only thing i would suggest is to put your shoulders back, and keep your hands underneath you. ;)

[TCtech4horses]

really nice pattern.

[yipesxitsxkatie]

i liked your pattern, it was well done, with pretty much all the elements perfected. the only thing i would say, is your free hand tended to pop upwards at times..but thats just a matter of reminding yourself about it. and your horse has the cutest face.

[zenithanwyn]

Well done, the horse looks eager to please.

[horseowner]

I do showmanship and I am 14. That was a great performance. My neighbor won with her Mr. Fancy Bonanza

[Equidoc]

Your neighbor owns Mr. Fancy Bonanza??? Or just a colt from him?

[enlightenmeonly]

that was beautiful! i could never master showmanship well but you make it look effortless! wonderful jobs and your pivots are wonderful!

[MortishaPoppins]

wonderful performance - they both looked tight!

[hollydun1]

omg, absolutely great horse, they've really done a good job.

[Jamielne]

wow! no wonder they won in 2002! the back-up was awesome and it was all very precise. (i have to put the chain in front of my horse's nose so she listens to me...) i liked her clothes, too :)

[slickstwoblue]

man thats really hard. I'm planning on taking my colt to North American Livestock Show

[cksavoy]

Really nice job. Just wish more of these kids would learn to coordinate their own steps to the horse's front leg's steps. Makes a much cleaner picture for the judge when they walk/jog together.

[tragicallyrandom]

=0 o my.

[oxosasoxo]

That was an excellent pattern! Very nice and that horse backs up like a dream! I bet the only thing they were marked down for would be the trot at the VERY end!

[HorseFanAusten]

She won the Showmanship in 2002. This is her prelims from the previous year. She made it to the finals but during them, her horse became very sick so she pulled herself from the class and got him up to the vet right away (ps. the horse is fine). So obviously, she didn't place that year.

[WesternNichole]

Thats what I am going to do nexy year with my horse

[indistars]

That was very good!

[ShamrockFarmsRyder]

beautiful horse...very very complicated pattern, wow...how did she end up placing?

[fuzzypeaches]

awsome, good job!
