The Western Riding Ideal

The Western Riding class once became a highly competitive class with the competitors all but racing neck and neck through the class. The class was designed to show a horse’s quality of lead changes, not how fast you could work the pattern. Today, there is a greater emphasis on working the pattern correctly rather than quickly. The Western Riding horse should have quality lead changes, quality movement and mannerisms.
