I have seen some amazing HUS QH that arent long and lanky Check out Chase4pleasure and youll see what I mean, they do awesome together:) Your pony could honestly go in the dressage arena or the HUS arena; I say this because Cracker uses their hind end very nicely in all three gates. In canter the they lift their shoulders wonderfully. At the trot they seem to be slightly flat kneed and can lengthen pretty decent, which they want for HUS:)
@RyansBeenRoped17 She was bred to be a world champion WP horse (Rugged Lark x a good moving cow horse) The cow horse gave her a streak of fire they couldn't get out of her. So I've been running barrels on her for the last year. I showed her in a walk/trot and WP jackpot and she won $200. I don't know that I would show her in the flat classes though because I'm getting a new hunter Saturday. This was just to play around (: I'm subbed to Chase, I freaking love that horse.
@hanoverianjumpers101 Haha those crazy cow horses, my guy was bred for cattle work.. but he wanted to be a jumper so w/e:) I was going to ask if she had ran barrels because of the way she uses her hind end, its so under her and she is so balanced. I did gymkhana for 2 years before I started seriously showing in jumpers, man can barrels teach a horse/rider some self control and balance. Since she can run and turn maybe make her a jumper?:)
@RyansBeenRoped17 Haha yeah maybe she could do jumpers! She's 14.2 so here she would fall in the large pony hunters and jumpers. The hunters here are like 2'6" and I think the jumpers MAYBE go up to 3' ...possibly just 2'9". Yeah she's a lovely ride, when I first got her she was really bad on her front end and still does it sometimes but she's way better now.
I think she would be a cute jumper(hunter or show) or maybe a lower level dressage horse. I don't know about HUS since QH hunters are usually really long and lanky with insane extension. She just doesn't seem to be built right for it.
@LeaderStorm Nah she's short but she's got long legs for 14.2hh xD I'm thinking maybe an all-arounder for 4H for a little kid. She's learning showmanship and horsemanship and started reining too. And on top of that is a 2D/3D barrel horse! Haha. I think she could do the dressage but she's got issues with keeping her head still and I don't want to push it because she's doing good running right now. But when she relaxed you could see her push her head down and stride out.
