What should our next HT show be?

cascy · 08-09-2008, 07:40 AM

Here's a couple ideas.... Feel free to vote for the category you would like to see next, and you can also add suggestions for future classes as well

Carri · 08-09-2008, 07:42 AM

Darn Cascy, and I wanted to win the big booty class!

Sheesh, that one was in the bag...

BTW- Who is going to judge the gaited class? The only reason I ask is because if its open, then they all have to be judged by their own breed standard. Most of us only know one or two. And I know I'll be voting for Foxtrotters, just as other gaited people will vote for their breed. See? So are you planning on doing a different breed each time? Just a thought.

**gbarmranch** · 08-09-2008, 08:16 AM

I would also love to see some classes for specific breeds - say arabs, or minis.. perhaps with an explination of what to look for to assist people in judging. That same logic could be applied to gaited, reining, dressage, etc.. Not only a fun way to see all the beautiful horses that people own on here, but also a way for many of us to learn about the different breeds and disciplines..

What do y'all think..

I like that idea alot.

cascy · 08-09-2008, 08:25 AM

Good idea gbar

We would need to make sure there were enough people to enter that own one of the breeds to do it though.... Good ideas though guys, keep them coming

Sirita_88 · 08-09-2008, 08:33 AM

How would be going about judging a performance class? (Like gaited, HUS, WP, ETC) A short video or just pics? Because It is always really hard to tell what a horse is actually capable of doing from a picture..

What about an English/Open (gaited) Halter class? Or a hunter model class??

AHH too many choices!

Great Idea!

I really had no idea how to judge the last class, and I would also be at a loss for a gaited class.

I would absolutely love to learn what to look for, and especially WHY I am looking for that (why it is a standard for that breed and how it affects their performance)!

You are doing an awesome job, Casey! Thank you, this is really fun!

Horse_Orderly · 08-09-2008, 09:31 AM

Yeah! We English/dressage people need love too.

Supposedly, my horse started out in WP but I brought him to the dark side and we are going to try to do some dressage shows next year.

Gotta Love Duns · 08-09-2008, 09:38 AM

Out of the list I think a color class could be fun, but that is because I can work with the pictures I have given that my horses are 10 hours away!

country-mare · 08-09-2008, 03:33 PM

I think a color class would be fun,
but you would need to have
a class for soilds and a class for patterns(?)paints or appy.

Would roan go in under solid?

Carri · 08-09-2008, 04:29 PM

HO, Opie started as a WP horse, too!

And he LOVES the "dark side", aka dressage!

**gbarmranch** · 08-09-2008, 04:30 PM

Well, as a dark and light sider.. I would love to see the english class next..

MOOSE1 · 08-09-2008, 09:53 PM

The way a local club does their color classes here is a paint/pinto class and then an "all other color breed" class. It works out great!

SpotsNGlory · 08-09-2008, 10:02 PM

Ok.

Now, I can choose because I love color. But I cant choose color cause then I want Big Butts in the mix

oh boy, such a hassle.

I will choose.......Big Butts.

horselover54 · 08-10-2008, 12:43 AM

how about performance horse halter? Look for an athletic horse built to be a good all arounder.. then almost everyone could participate.

horselover54 · 08-10-2008, 12:47 AM

another idea... along with the halter "show"... we could do performance shows... we could do jumping equitation, western equitation, western pleasure? we could even do youtube videos, although I dont know if enough people could post them to make it worth while.

Wolfie · 08-10-2008, 01:45 AM

MOst flattering tack?
Desenstizing?
Trail?
Willing attitude?
Prettiest face?
Disposition/conformation under saddle?

Just some suggestions.
