Cracker Goes [ HUNTER ]

I'm so proud of my pony :D Crit please? Think she could do the Eq and Hunt Seat for a little kid.. maybe some x-rails or pony hunters.

Never been ridden english before and I haven't ridden english since September! And let me tell you getting tall boots on with bootcut blue jeans isn't easy!

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.

@hanoverianjumpers101 i think she would be a good all arounder too. I think she would be cute in western pleasure.

@LeaderStorm She's friggin adorable in WP she's just crazy! Haha.

@hanoverianjumpers101 lol. I tried to teach my horse western pleasure and he beat me to death with his bouncy arab trot. xD

@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.

@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?:)

Good luck with your new hunter!:)

@hanoverianjumpers101 She would do okay in open shows or 4h. :) By the way, she is really pretty. I love pallys. :P

[hanoverianjumpers101]

@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.
