my horse is a quarter horse. Its a breed of horse. They are the fastest breed of horse over a quarter of a mile, hence its name. The Quarter Horse was bred to work and race. For competition I'll rip the rules for you.
Working Ranch Horse combines the reining ability and cow sense of the horse, and will be judged on the horse's ability, cow sense and smoothness. Each contestant will perform individually, first with a set reining pattern and then one cow is released into the arena. Ranch Riding shows the horse's ability to move at a working speed with a rider. Horses will be shown at three gaits - walk, trot and lope in each direction of the arena. Horses also will be asked to change directions while on the rail, stop and back. Ranch Trail contains a course with a minimum of six obstacles, and is designed to show a horse's ability and willingness to perform several tasks that might be asked of him during the course of a normal day's ranch work. Ranch Cutting requires a horse to cut a single numbered cow from the herd, and demonstrate its ability to work the cow. When satisfied that the horse has proven its cutting ability, the horse and rider must then pen the cow at the far end of the arena. Ranch Conformation will be based on balance, structural correctness, breed and sex characteristic and degree of muscling, with balance being the most important.
For the horse breed competition its more on the horse and not the ranch. Like, how to horse responds to comands from rider. stepping, running, bowing, standing, jumping and so on. And based a lot on looks for both horse and rider. So arm sling = no no. Well arm sling is hard to ride with any way lol.
I am not addicted to pills. lol.
Homework is hard but it has to get done so....one more year for me though lol
