It seems that she gets behind the bit a little at some points...but if you get that under control she looks great!

I agree with horslevrshadow she needs to be encouraged lower stretching. Nice mare with great engaging movement. I have two of these crosses, so love to see others. Good luck with her!

What trailer accident?

[horselvrshadow]

wonderful mare and rider! Only thing I would say is that being in a frame does not mean she's "coming through" work on having a longer lower and stretching outward frame before asking for a more upright frame. cool vid!

I wrote my comment a while back. Interesting responses since. Western - the old style, was nothing like dressage. It has been incorporated into western training allot since it was introduced here post WW2. I am in my fifties so i know. The western of now is an amalgamation of many styles with western tack.

Oh Thompa, thank you for the compliment and yours is fantastic, nice and steady and Polly was a little bit more exited at her first show. The Friesian crosses are very versitile, we have a Friesian Stallion and breed the QH, Thoroughbred and Arabian crosses with him and they are all unbelievable. I know nothing about Western, we moved from Holland to Canada 10 years ago but would love to try

...Not speaking about you, but many strict dressage people that I know are close minded to western completely and pass judgment. I think if they got to know the top western riders they would find it's not that bad. When that happens I believe dressage will spread even further and faster.

Just commenting on your dressage statement. I ride "western" and dressage and many dressage people don't know that proper western riding is very similar to dressage, esp. in training. My Friesian X does dressage and reining and loves it.
