Beautiful horse :]

i do saddleseat with saddlebreds but Arabians are quite the preformers

very nice.

aha whoa. all this about an arabian pleasure class. pretty much id just like to point out. did anyone else see the horse being alot different w. his left front (at least ) than his right? when she sat he didnt put it out as far. do they get marked down for that? i dont even know how they win these clases!!! ahhaa

I have only heard of one story (from the owner of the horse) about a horse that had foundered and the owners were not told about it until after a couple of shows and they ended up taking the horse home from the trainer anyways. When you get deeper into the national show circuit you can figure out which trainer uses nasty tricks and which dont. After that it is a matter of personal opinion.

I have ridden and worked for one of the top english pleasure trainers on the west coast. I can say that i have seen this trainer use a lot of good training methods and a few harsh ones. When it comes shoeing and legs, (most) of the arabian trainers dont mess around. They do the most that they can to keep their legs and feet pain free. We dont use bi lateral pressure shoeing or soreing. I have also ridden with the top western and hunter trainers in the west coast. They dont do it either.

Maybe more.

A stud with enough points and honors (LOH, LOM, etc.) commands TOP DOLLAR for stud fees.

A WINNING trainer commands top dollar, as well.

Let me repeat that: A WINNING trainer.

And that's my point. There are many good trainers out there, but with that kind of money on the line there ARE people who will "take shortcuts".

I don't know Mr. Siemon, but the fact he left up my comment is definitely to his credit, and he has my respect for that.

Seriously? I have some property I'd like to sell you.

[slagreznor]

What the hell?? I never said they did.

People don't MAKE their money from showing! You NEED money to do the show circuit.

Showing is done with a specific purpose in mind: to campaign your horse(s), stable, and yourself as a trainer/breeder, etc.

Care to hazard how much a horse of that calibur costs? My guess is somewhere in the 5-6 digits.

Arabians have no money in their classes
