#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#This is why I left Hunter... I liked showing but I couldnt stand the "snottieness" I am a very friendly rider I like to smile when I ride.... in the past they didnt smile at all....(I was the only one) Along with the style changes Im not a bank and cant afford to keep changing my show attire considering I only show when I have enough $$(I showed hunter when I was 15 and paid for most of it. now marty isnt quite ready) So after always being looked down upon and so I left. I went to eventing I find that they are more accepting, encouraging and friendly. This is why I have stuck with eventing I only show hunter in fairs and I use fairs as a training tool and so I dont really care that Im at a show.( I still try... but I could care less if I place) So as you can probably tell Im a lil bitter lol. Im gonna try a lil hunter with Marty this summer maybe.(thats if we dont get kicked out for his runny nose lol) But thats my veiw and before I go into a full rant Ill stop and spare you lol.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#Originalpearmare wrote:#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# I do understand that a part of Hunter is the judge's opinion. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#But when does it cross the line?

I find so many keep pointing there noses out and pulling the reins. Or because the nose is out like that, that I pull back to much, the mare i'm riding now sticks her nose out more when she canters so i pull all the time (if anyone knows how I can fix this I would so apperciate it).
#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Very true. I had a mare that would 'round her neck' (for lack of better words) and bend at the poll. To the novice eye, it looked very dressage like, but in reality, she was just leaning on my hands. I paid for it, she was VERY strong. She was an ex-barrel racer and I never quite got her out of constantly leaning on my hand but even though she casted a pretty picture for an eye on the ground, she was VERY much on the forehand.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My current mare is the type of horse that has more of a dressage frame. It's just the way she carries herself, she just doesn't do the long and low thing. But I have a long ways to go and I still have alot of work to get her to work from behind. I did show her at a little show in the summer and didn't do as good in the hack classes because of her style. We placed better in the dressage classes. But again, it's still at a very low level and I wouldn't say she is necessarily working from behind properly.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#All in all, I agree with Barn Bratt above. Different horses carry themselves different and not travelling well from behind and not tracking up is common in both the hunter and dressage world. Headset doesn't say the whole story. :)#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#PerfectAngel wrote:#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I also must remind people that even though a horse is in a dressage-type frame that they can still easily be on the forhand
