Are you doing shows?

Do you like doing shows? Why or Why not?

Answer 1

I love them both but if I had to pick i would say english. I love hunt seat because its more of a challenge for me and I love to be challenged! I show english right now but next year I am showing hunt seat and western. I also love english because I love, love jumping! But one thing I hate about it is that your muscles  are in more pain. But english gave me a great posture!

I prefer English.  I do show jumping and its awesome! When I was smaller I like western but then I tried English and I like it more.

Welcome amowens3 new to Yahoo Answers today!

Riding style: English primarily, love to drive also.

Disciplines:Dressage, cross country, show jumping, drag- scent fox hunting, trails and does camping  in the mountains with horses count? such fun.

Shows: yes!

Like doing  them? Almost always, though sometimes getting free time to drive is a hassle from work and farm. Just last week I stayed to watch a mare foal, she was such a special mom and the filly is wonderful! I also love Poker rides and fun runs,and watching western reining.

How about you amowens3?

Answer 5

i prefer english.  i do dressage and jumping, and i love it! hunt seat is also more of a challenge, and i love challenges(ecspecially on horses!)  i do ride western, but my new horse is more of an english horses. she looks like shes floating when she trotts! i love showing cause its fun, but i just dont like the fact that everyone is crazy, running around grab your # pay for your classess, get on your helmet, put on the bridle, ect!!! but in the end even if you lose  nothings better then spending time with your horse!

Answer 6

English for 20 years since i was 5. its more diciplined (im not saying easier) and i think that theres more to learn. i have been showjumping ever since i remember and eventing since i was 12. i also used to love gymkana games when i was little and polo-crosse is so exciting to play. i did compete a little in western barrel racing for a year and really enjoyed it but preferred english. i love shows because its a chance to show off at what i am best at and when you win its an amazing feeling.  3 day eventing is what i generally do though 6-bar is amazing but quite rare in england and with friends i can never resist "chase me charlie". though i must say, my favourite thing is to get a few friends together and go for a long gallop though lakes and fields etc. a beautiful way to see the country and a good time to see whose fastest.
