Ive been reading the comments about the saddle seat verses hunt messages and must say you all look wonderful. I showed equitation until 91. Wow Im giving up my age!lol.. The suits are much better today and compliment the rider in ways I could of only dreamed of. My biggest problem was I'm short so the tall girls always had that advantage, now when I watch I see more shorter girls winning the big blue! Im gonna say alot has to do with how the suits are tailored and made these days.

I just bought a horse. He is my saddle seat pleasure horse. I used to do 10 & Under Hunt, but 13 & Under Saddle Seat is more fun!

i hope you realize that the syle of western riding never originated anywhere in North America. The style came from ranching and warfare traditions brought to the americas by the spanish conquistadors. However, saddleseat developed here in america therfore making it much more the saddle of this country than western. I'm not saying which is better i'm just trying to make a point. also, why can't the diciplines just get along? no ones convincing anyone so let's end this here.

um have you looked at their ears?? theyre almost constantly up. the last time i cheaked that meant they were happy. what they do is natural. ive seen them turned out in the winter. they do the exact same thing. the shoes and bits are not harmful AT ALL they merely correct problems so the dont get hurt by over stepping for example. so please dont hate!! its not cruel do some research(by credible sources)

[saddleseatlvr7]

could not have said it better

[spottie524]

I agree.

These horses do not look relaxed and happy at all. If saddleseat were natural to the horse, why do they need curb bits with 8" shanks and built-up shoes?

ya um its a differnt style, we work for perfection in out riding and position. western is no better then saddleseat, well it is easier if thats what u mean, I ride western and english ( I used to ride saddleseat but it got expensive and whatnot) I prefer english saddleseat best, its harder then western and i like having a changlenge
