I am glad to have found your videos. My daughter is 19, been riding 13 years showing 4. We leased and last year finally pulled the plug and found her "dream horse". And boy is he ever a dream. 4 year old gelding went to Appaloosa Worlds in July and left with a National title and 3 world titles in his 1st year showing. All that aside, my daughter gets frustrated trying to explain horse judging and technique to me. Your videos are a great help! I would love to give a shout to his EXCELLENT breeder ( and extremely kind) breeder, but don't know if you allow those things in comments! Don't want to get scolded in my first comment🤐
Thank you for the kind comment... Of course give out a shout out to the breeder. No problems here! It would hold more water however, if your name were associated with the comment rather than "anonymous". It is interesting that no matter what discipline you are in, in your case Appaloosa, there is value in the videos. Thanks again. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and to comment. So happy that your daughter has been successful with her horse.
@@LauraKellandMay I would like to change my screen name, but try as I might it just doesn't budge. It arbitrarily assigned it and glitched me a few months back! Soooo...sigh. My name is Danielle Hinkle and the lovely lady is Ms. Gale Gores of Wisconsin who is the breeder and sold us Designed To Be Red. Sire is Artfully Designed. By the way your voice is so soothing. A joy to listen!
Get idea for a video. Generally speaking a hunter under saddle is all about the horse. The nicest mover should win the class - so to speak. The Equitation, however, is all about the rider! so the nicest RIDER should win the class. We can get in to specifics later. As always thanks for the comments :) 🐎🐴🏇🏇🐴 ~Laura
I haven't heard of hunter poles or equitation poles. Firstly, look at the class description. It may have some insight into what you have to do. 2nd - ask your coach/trainer/instructor 3rd -Equitation is on the rider and the rider's position. This means the rider will be judged. Head up, heels, correct diagonal and lead. That sort of thing. HUNTER is judged on the HORSE- This means the horse's movement, their style and performance. if it has a bad jump/pole or trips over a pole or rushes or refuses it would count against them. Let us know how you did!🏇😀🐴🐎
Yes. This is a loaded question.! Before doing anything else, check the for of your equipment and especially your saddle. Getting your horses head down will take more than one ride. Please send me an email thistleridge (at) hotmail(dot)com
what a great question. I think this is a personal thing. And to me fancy means that it has a good performance, good form over fences and then the icing on the cake is having some "chrome", You know, stockings and a blaze. Something that shows everything off. You can have a really pretty horse but if jumps badly or bucks or refuses... it really can't win.🐴❤❤
If i jump clean but rub in the 2nd class and there's 5 classes could i still make it to the top if im alittle slow and rub and knock a pole in the 2nd and 4th class
Great info I’m doing my first hunter show and this info helped
Oh my. Congratulations. How did you do?

@@anonymousone2843 excellent. Thanks for the update.
Great tips! Thank you. What is the difference between what a judge is looking for in the Hunter under Saddle class and the equitation flat phrase?

Thank you this helped me!
Thanks for the comment.
Which part helped you the most?
@@LauraKellandMay I did not know a horse had to canter at shows because I've only seen walk trot shows but all the overall info helped!
Hello, this video is helpful. Any tips for new hunters?
Like what?
Keep watching and asking questions.
can you explain he diffrence between hunter poles and equitation pole i need help fast!

Let us know how you did!🏇😀🐴🐎
Laura Kelland-May thank you sm you helped a lot I’ve never done any thing like this before so it’s just a fun thing to do!

Laura Kelland-May no I didn’t actually but sadly I’m to dumb to figure that out lol 😂
Do you have any tips to get your horses head down?
Yes.
This is a loaded question.!

how do you know if your horse is fancy or not? or do you have a video on that yet?
what a great question.
I think this is a personal thing. And to me fancy means that it has a good performance, good form over fences and then the icing on the cake is having some "chrome", You know, stockings and a blaze. Something that shows everything off.
You can have a really pretty horse but if jumps badly or bucks or refuses... it really can't win.🐴❤❤
Also watch the live program this saturday November 7th because I will ask our guest to answer this for you!.
@@LauraKellandMay Thank you soo much. I have a fancy horse but I just want to know what to look for if I ever have to looking for a horse on my own.
If i jump clean but rub in the 2nd class and there's 5 classes could i still make it to the top if im alittle slow and rub and knock a pole in the 2nd and 4th class
If there are other horses in the class, then your chances are slim.
@@LauraKellandMay thank you ive moved up to the 2'6 and children ponys and I've had trouble with my speed one of my horses fades out through the line
@@sunshinebuchanan2772 send in a picture or video. I'd love to help out.

Do you look more at the rider or the horse?
Equitation is judging the rider.
Undersaddle the judge is judging the horse.
@Laura Kelland-May thanks.
@@sonja_72_84 I'm glad it helped.
You sound like I’ve been judged by u before
You never know... I could have! Where do you ride?
Have you judged in ns?
@@morganleigh918 yes. Many times!
Laura Kelland-May awesome you may have judged me then, have you judged and Sambea Farm, any exhibitions, HAW, or anything? Let me know! In ns tho
@@morganleigh918 hey Morgan... Let's see. I am from Nova Scotia! Anna Co. Ex., Middleton, Hants co., windsor spring, truro, Fredericton, etc.
So a horse bucking is bad manners and not pain, issues or even a bea sting, it's manners. Ok. God Americans 😂
