What is the show?

Historically, the shows of large and small horses represented complicated accessories and equipment. It takes a calm, highly trained horse to walk along the length of the show without frightened of crowds of people, sudden sounds, marching bands and all other distractions to such events. Over time, the term "show" has evolved to mean not only the horse decorated to walk in the show, but also a certain type of horse of the Western exhibition of trained to compete in this discipline. These types of sophisticated Western Parade horses are still common in local shows in some areas. Training for a horse that goes in the show is difficult and the shows may not be suitable for very highly bound horses. Coaches sometimes acclimat their horses in advance by letting them walk in the "All Horse" shows and let them lead them by possible distractions. The horses show often start in small local shows and work up to larger.

According to the Equestrian Federation of the United States (USEF), an organization that sets standards for various disciplines of equestrian competitions in the US is the best show of horses flashy, stylish and elegant. Mane and tail are long, natural and often complicated. Horses are decorated in saddles and sophisticated silver and gold equipment, which often has Mexican, Spanish or southwest flares.

Parade horse can be any color, breed or sex, although the appearance is assessed more than anything else in the show, so the horse must be without physical deficiencies. The USEF classes for horses include separate divisions for Pintos, Palominos, Ponies and Golden American Saddlebreds. The show rider is often dressed to match the color old western equipment that can include shiny spurs, seraps and ornamental weapons.

One of the most important featuresmoves. The horse show is trained to walk at the rest of the show, so walking is usually not faster than 5 miles per hour. At the shows of the horses, horses perform two walks, an animated walk, which is a brisk and charming four -pointed movement and a show that is a square, high -performance movement. Both are striking walks suitable for the festive atmosphere of the show.
